Congratulations, Jessica Simpson, on your recent engagement. Let us all admire your beautiful ring:
You can see why I like it. My ring, January 2004:
{I've always loved this photo of me flipping out as all of us girls were leaving the room to head to the ceremony, deciding that yes, it was super important that I paint my nails. 30 second self-manicure next to hotel room coffee maker = priceless.}
{Photo circa 2009, when we returned to Grande's with two children in tow to replace Joe's lost wedding band.}
P.S. Thank you Susan for mailing me my band after I left it on the nightstand in L.A. last month. Wait - that sounded terrible, didn't it? But thank you.

Kate, you were definitely the first person I thought of when I saw Jessica’s ring over the weekend! I was kind of surprised she went that route…she doesn’t seem like the type to do something different/unique. I guess maybe it’s becoming a trend. I saw last night that Prince William finally proposed – he used his mom’s ring, and it’s a gorgeous sapphire. After Jessica Simpson and Kate Middleton going the non-diamond route, I have a feeling we’re going to start seeing it more often. At least you can say you had yours way back when and started the trend!
P.S. $75!!! That is amazing!
Susan - I have heard that sapphire engagement rings are actually quite common (maybe even more of a norm than diamonds?) in England.
Oh, and just to be clear, the $75 was for the simple gold wedding band. The ruby engagement ring was, from what I hear, a few pennies more. ; ) And did not, incidentally, come from Grande's.
I, too, thought of you, and Joe's adventures in the diamond (ruby) district, when I read about Jessica Simpson's ring. Could you guys renew your vows or something because I sure could use a good excuse to take a vacation in Mexico . . .
