I grew up on romantic movies. And always thought a ring would be the ultimate proof that I was finally chosen and loved. 💍I hit 28 recently and started feeling really down about the fact that my life hasn't turned into a movie scene yet. My grandmother must have sensed my sadness. And she gave me this stunning custom mandarin garnet ring for Christmas! She told me to never enter a marriage just for a piece of jewelry. She even chose this specific orange stone so my life would always be vivid and passionate on its own. 🥹😢 I love it so much. It is a reminder that love comes from people who actually know me and not just from a romantic partner. I would love to hear about the most meaningful pieces of jewelry you have received that had nothing to do with a proposal. 💗💗💗 #ringshare #mandaringarnet #familyhistory #selflove #Jewelry
