My boyfriend and I had just closed on our first house purchase and it was my birthday. The only thing I wanted to do was go to the beach and drink margaritas in my bikini, it was too hot for anything else. My boyfriend insisted we get on our bikes and peddle to our new house, about 12 miles out of town. I wasn't that stoked on this idea. Like I said, margaritas, beach, bikini…. But He seemed very excited, maybe too excited so I went along.
As we got onto the bike path we discussed all the painting and remodeling projects we wanted to accomplish and dreamed about gardening on our land. Once we made it to our house, we laid a blanket down on top of a small hill looking down at our property. He pulled out french picnic items. Olives, cheese, a baguette, and very warm red wine.
As he uncorked the wine and poured a glass for me he stopped and looked very nervous. He was sweating. Not just because it was a hot day. I could tell something was on his mind. He reached for his pocket and pulled out a little black box. I honestly cannot remember if or what he said next. I just remember blushing, putting our sweaty foreheads together, laughing then, he put the ring on my finger and we raised our warm red wine...
My boyfriend, now husband, had been working up the courage to ask me for months. Beth is a good friend of ours and she knew this secret. Each time I would see her out running errands or at dinner parties, she would look very excited to see me. Now I know why! She was waiting to see that ring on my finger.
A simple hammered recycled rose gold band I now wear on my left ring finger and rarely take off. I didn't want anything too big and flashy. I garden, canoe and bike and wanted something that I could wear doing all these activities. It's perfect, Beth worked with my husband to create the most comfortable ring to wear every day. She also took my husbands, grandfathers, white-gold ring and personalized it with the hammered texture to make our rings match.
My dad passed away before I met my husband and my mom has since given me her yellow-gold diamond wedding ring that I wear on special occasions. Whenever I wear these two rings together I feel the strong bond of old love that my mom will always carry with her and the new love that I carry for my husband.
The silver leaf earrings I recently received are lovely!
Love drawings of birds, these are very nice and indicative of Beth’s range in artistry.
Love my paw ring! Sunny’s name engraved on the backside means so much to me. Thank you…. Excellent craftsmanship!!
I wanted a paw print pendant to honor my beloved Sunny who just passed away and to support UPAWS. The UPAWS pendant is perfect! I love incorporating the outdoors with the paw print. Perfect for my Sunny who loved exploring everyday .
This pendant surpassed my expectations. Nina did an outstanding job creating and crafting this beautiful piece. The mushrooms, snail, star moss and gorgeous turquoise make this pendant incredible. I absolutely love it.
I love my mushroom earrings! They are the birthday gift that I wear almost everyday.
I love, love, love my wedding ring. They also resized it for free even though I needed to send it in slightly after the 30 day window. Their customer service was also great and communicative. Wonderful experience.
Honestly it's like Nina looked into my soul for this one. The bracelet is beautiful, adaptable to different sized wrists, and subtle. The detail in each charm is excellent, and they're small enough you can wear it year-round without someone telling you what month it is like you can't love Halloween outside of October.
Perfect for the minimalist. Smells great. Takes a minute to break in. Fits in small pockets with my small phone, too. Made wonderfully.
My wife picked out the ring while on vacation in Marquette area. Had it “put aside” while she thought about how bad she wanted it. Gonna surprise her on Sweetest Day—
Every thing is great so far-I’ll let you know the outcome...
