The Rings!

or

Our Precioussssss...


HIS:

Grace found my ring at little jewelery shop called the Teton Art Gallery. (It's right next to Mursell's in Gaslight Alley.) The gentleman who owns the shop made this ring right here in Jackson--sterling silver with two mountain scenes etched into the band. I think it's pretty fantastic...






HERS:

Grace's ring is from the same shop...but was one of the jeweler's few antique pieces. It's from the 1930's and made from white gold. There's a diamond chip set into the top of the ring (it was hard to catch the sparkles with my camera.) The filigree work is very beautiful--a very unique ring if I do say so myself!
