This April, Paul and I will celebrate our five year anniversary! What?! (Very exciting.) We're actually not big gift exchangers (and clearly, not big on surprises) but this year we decided I'll add special ring to my collection (jury is still out on what he'll get). I was on the hunt for something like this (source on Pinterest isn't right) and when I turned to Instagram and Twitter, I got tons of suggestions for similar beautiful rings. I thought I'd take those resources and create a round-up if you too are looking for something like this. These would make such beautiful wedding bands as well as stack-able anniversary (or any occasion/non-occasion) bands.

Now that I have somewhere to start, I'm thinking of having one made with just five stones (to represent the five years) and I'll be wearing it on my right ring finger. Currently I wear my engagement ring and wedding band on my left ring finger and a twisted gold band (from Ellerie and Paul last Mother's Day) on my right index finger. Some people wear their heart on their sleeves. I like to wear mine on my fingers. (insert sappy face emoji here.)

    I love rough cut diamonds. My engagement ring is a single stone and I love it – so many people comment on how unusual it is. These are gorgeous – definitely going to save some of them for later purchases!

    J’adore! I had my twig-looking wedding ring made by my friend. We collected unused gold from friends and family to melt and then make our wedding rings. Copper was then added to make a rose gold rings. For now i do not have a stone but this will be our 5 year anniversary gift. I am thinking a raw diamond or black pearl.

    Wait wait wait. Five years of MARRIAGE???!!! I know it can’t be 5 years together because it seems way longer than that, but it also doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that we were following all your wedding posts. Time…it’s a strange thing. Congratulations!

    I love the 5 stone idea. I did that for our 10 year. I found a ring with 12 diamonds and I said I need you to make me one with 10. The jeweler was like huh what women wants less diamonds. I said I do!! I want a 10 stone band every 10 years 🙂

    I love your idea. Most recent vintage or classic design of diamond rings or earring create the new fashion statements. Trendy or latest diamond rings design give ethereal look to a person. http://www.sylviecollection.com/engagement-rings-new-york
