Okay, so, I’ve been obsessed with Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s style forever, right? Especially her engagement and wedding rings. They’re just so… classic. I wanted to see if I could find something similar, something that captured that same vibe.
The Deep Dive Begins
First, I spent hours, seriously, hours, looking at pictures of Carolyn. I zoomed in on every photo I could find of her hands. I wanted to get a really good look at her rings. I even went down a rabbit hole of old articles and interviews, hoping to find some details about the rings. Did I find out who the designer was? Not really. Did I get a good feel for the style? You bet.
The Hunt for the Perfect Ring
Next, I started searching. I looked at a ton of different websites. I was looking for something with an emerald-cut diamond, because that’s what Carolyn’s engagement ring was, and I wanted it to be set in a simple, elegant way. It had to be timeless, you know? Like something that would never go out of style. I saw a lot of rings that were too flashy, or too modern. Nothing felt quite right.
I read a bunch of articles on how much you’re “supposed” to spend on an engagement ring. Honestly, it’s all over the place! I decided to ignore all that and just focus on what I liked and what I could afford.
Expert Advice
Then, I started seeing stuff about getting “expert help” to design a ring. I’m not gonna lie, that sounded kind of fancy and expensive. Still, I started looking into it. I figured, why not? I wanted to make sure I was making the right decision.
Making it My Own
Finally, I decided I wanted to create a ring inspired by Carolyn’s, but with my own personal touch. I started looking at different settings and metals. I was going back and forth, back and forth. Should I go with platinum? White gold? Yellow gold? It was a tough decision!
The Big Decision
After all that searching and thinking, I finally made a decision! I found a jeweler I liked, one that had good reviews, and I started working with them. They helped me to design a ring that was inspired by Carolyn’s, but also unique to me. I chose a beautiful emerald-cut diamond, and I picked a simple, platinum setting.
The Finished Product
It took a few weeks, but I finally got the ring. And let me tell you, it was worth the wait! It’s perfect. It’s elegant, it’s timeless, and it reminds me of Carolyn’s iconic style, but it’s also totally me. I’m so happy with how it turned out! It’s not Carolyn’s, but its design is surely inspired by hers. It’s a ring I’ll cherish forever.
This whole process taught me a lot about jewelry, about style, and about making important decisions. It was a lot of work, but I’m so glad I did it. Finding the perfect engagement ring is a big deal, and I feel like I really nailed it!
