Day 22 - Hands
Day 22 is hands.
I decided to show you the hands on
my wedding ring.
We got married young {19!}
and I decided I wanted a Claddagh ring.
So we had one custom made,
since they're not usually available
as real wedding rings.
We special ordered a heart shaped diamond
and had it custom created just for me.
I love it.
The hands symbolize friendship.
The heart symbolizes love.
The crown symbolizes loyalty.
What a great symbol for marriage, no?
This past January, for our 7th anniversary,
Justin took it to be re-plated with white gold
{you're supposed to do that with white gold every
few years, I guess, and we'd never had it done.}
He surprised me by having the girl's birthstones
added to the sides of the crown. A tiny peridot
for Eisley and a tiny amethyst for Violet.
Maybe someday there will be a third birthstone
up there at the top...?

What a beautiful ring! It's so unique. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm also enjoying all of your catch up photos. They're so much fun.
I love your wedding ring--so different. (I wish *I* had done something different.) What a sweetheart of a husband to surprise you with Eisley and Violet's birthstones!
