Hydrangea Blossom and Diamond Ring

So, it’s a recession, you know that already. Maybe you’re broke, or maybe you just don’t want to go broke having a wedding, either way, the time is nigh for cost cutting. One of the biggest ways to get broke before your even get to the altar is by blowing a whole lot of money on wedding jewelry. If you just want something simple and sweet to remind you of your love, then flash a quick pic of this baby to your beau.

I think this sweet little ring would work as an engagement ring OR a wedding ring, or as both, depending on your taste. I really like the balance between the diamond and the little hydrangea blossom, and the contrast between the sterling and yellow gold. The dual tone will make it easy to wear with all the rest of your jewelry, and the small size is elegant and understated. Available for $119 from Patrick Irla.
