I can finally tell the secret I've been holding on to for...oh, a couple of months now!
As I mentioned, I am absolutely flying high with this. I love our rings, and I love my wife.
Those are our "wedding" rings. We can't get legally married, of course, and we've been practically married for a few years now, but this just symbolizes our commitment. I'm on cloud nine now that we finally have them. We ordered them a couple of weeks ago from DVB, a New York-based company that is the source for many other sellers. My wife (I'll be calling her that even more often now) felt strongly that she wanted a poesy ring, so we were looking at those pretty much exclusively. The ones we ended up getting are in Old French, and they say here is my heart, guard it well. You can see a close-up picture from the maker, but it doesn't show that the word coeur is actually a drawn heart. It's based on a ring that is currently in the British Museum, and it dates to about the 15th century. My ring is 14k white gold, and my wife's ring is 18k yellow gold. For heterosexual couples, the man doesn't usually have other jewelry to coordinate with and doesn't care what color the rings are. But being two women, we each had different tastes!
