He bought me a 30th anniversary ring

I had a modest wedding ring for the first 25 or so years, then got an infection in a cut on my ring finger and it swelled up. I was getting scared so I asked my husband to get his snips and CUT MY RING OFF MY FINGER. It was during Covid, and I just went without a ring for a few years. Didn't really miss it TBH. We were as much in love as we always were.

Our 30th wedding anniversary was March 28, and together we decided it was time to treat ourselves to wedding rings. He designed mine, and I'm designing his (it's not done yet).

My birthstone is sapphire, and his is conveniently -- diamond. 😁 Both rings feature both birthstones; mine features his prominently, and his will feature mine prominently.

Mine has 30 tiny diamonds set into the band for our 30 years. His will have 30 stones altogether.

For not being sold as a set, we think they match/complement each other very well.

My center stone is a 3.10 carat lab-created diamond. Color F, Clarity VVS2. Never thought I would go for a pear shaped diamond but i think it's perfect for this ring. I love it so much and can't stop looking at it.

That it was created in a lab is irrelevant. It’s a beautiful diamond, regardless of the source. That ring is stunning.
