See the ring on the right? It’s a David Yurman ring and costs $975. It’s a gorgeous cocktail ring.

See the ring on the left? It’s about $400 cheaper and from Nomination. I actually like the simple lines of thing ring more.

They’re both Blue Topaz and both will probably weight your hand down, but you’ll look awfully good.

Alex!

Here’s the story she told us:  “My boyfriend and I had been dating for almost 10 months when I had to travel to New York for a conference. While I was away, he told me that he was going over to my parents’ house to ask them if I could move in with him. (My family is very conservative, you see). I called him later that night, and he told me that it went very badly, that my father got angry and kicked him out of the house. I felt so bad that I had pressured him to go and ask my parents…I started crying and felt miserable the rest of the night. When I got back from NY, I didn’t bring up the issue with my parents, feeling that it was probably best if we just forgot about the whole thing.
A couple of weeks later, Bryan woke me up at 5:00 in the morning. “We’re going to the beach to watch the sunrise” he said. I thought it was a sweet idea (it was one of the first dates he ever took me on), and agreed to go. We were on our way to the beach when Bryan took a wrong turn. He was getting all upset over it, and I told him that it didn’t matter if we missed the sunrise, it was just fun being with him. Finally, we got to the beach and watched the sun rise. As the sun was rising, Bryan said “You know, when I asked your dad if you could move in with me, he was only mad for about 30 seconds…” I looked at him, perplexed. He continued: “…because I didn’t ask him if you could move in with me.” At that moment he got down on one knee and asked me if I would marry him. He hadn’t asked my parents if I could move in with him at all…he spent that evening at my parents house asking them if he could ask me to marry him. We’re planning on getting married in October…and I’ll always be his prisoner of love.”

Awwwww….

Thanks for all the entries. I had so much fun reading the stories! Lots of love and loss.

Surprise!

Not only am I showing you awesome jewelry designers all week, but I’m giving you guys a chance to win a gorgeous necklace from Nomination.

The necklace is from the Prisoner of Love collection and it’s worth $165. The Prisoner of Love collection takes violent icons (handcuffs and guns) and turns them into positive, sexy symbols in their jewelry. I’ve been seeing a lot of this around and I even have a necklace with guns in my jewelry box.

How to enter

Comment below or post a entry on your blog (with a link back here) telling us your “prisoner of love” story. C’mon, we all have one. They’re either terrible or terribly sweet. Who stole your heart or made you cry? You have until 10 a.m. Friday PST and the best entry wins!

I’m a prisoner of love. The Boy tells me every day how beautiful I am. He stands by the statement that I am the most beautiful girl in the world. I have told him there is Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet and tons of prettier girls, but he refuses to believe me.

So, tell us your story and win a chance at this gorgeous necklace!
