Kristina,your ring your choice, don't let comments spoil your happiness,cause that's all they are,just comments, I don't care and wouldn't care about what people think,they don't know you,,I'm sure they have done things they should be ashamed of,your just showing your choice of engagement ring,the things I've found out about the country people m from and others is disgusting,but will be sorted,so don't give it a thought.
❤️I'm sure you've already don't this (and people reading the comments), but... if you haven't, please make sure you get your jewelry re-appraised. I was shocked at what my wedding set was worth a few years ago (purchased in 2005). It was literally double what we paid for it. Thankfully I had somebody tell me to get it checked, so I could make sure _that_ and my other jewelry was covered by my homeowners insurance (a jewelry floater).
Hopefully that helps somebody... would hate for somebody to have something happen to their special jewelry and then find out that their insurance wasn't enough to get it replaced.
❤️
Take Care
As a physician, you should never be ashamed by you and your husband's ability to purchase nice things. Nor only did you both attend school and work hard to accomplish your professional success.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
THIS.
👏🏽exactly!
her AND her husband spent over 10+ years in school EACH to afford these things
Yess ❤❤
Show off that ring! Brag about it. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s your wedding ring. You and your husband are doctors that’s a huge accomplishment that took a lot of hard work and sacrifices.
Eep! It makes me so uncomfortable!!!! 😖😩
❤️
The ring speaks for itself. She doesn't have to brag. 🙂
Be humble. Telling someone that brag is bad advice.
@@suseq949 she can do whatever she pleases 🙂
You can’t be an anesthesiologist, your Husband a Surgeon, drive a Tesla and live in your beautiful home and have a plain Jane ring 😀. Wear it, enjoy it and be proud!! Beautiful!
Hello Kristine 🥰😊🥰
Loved this, I"m not married and not really dating anyone. I've been successful in my career and decided I'm going to treat myself to a diamond ring as an accomplishment ring.
My mother got married late in life and she bought herself a gorgeous three stone diamond ring *just because she could*. After she got married she kept that ring on her right hand and wore it until the day she died.
I LOVE that!!!
Do it! I did! Mine is a smaller version of Kristina’s!
I am currently a college student. I would love to do that someday!
As you should!! 👏🏻
As a jeweler, I am more amazed by the incredible craftsmanship of the jewelers who made that ring than the diamond itself. Your daughter's grandchildren will be wearing that ring someday and it will be just as perfect as it is today. Also, you certainly know how to pick a diamond!
That means so much coming from an expert like you in the field! Thank you!
They'll sell it lol 😅😅
It’s beautiful.
SAVE ALL THOSE RINGS! Keep them for your girls. We love heirlooms, and I’m guessing those cost a pretty penny. So save one of each for the baby girls who might want them in the future
I got engaged a week ago and my ring makes my heart melt. I think size is personal and depends on your hand shape. Everyone’s is so personal and no one should shame anyone for having larger or smaller stones than them it’s so personal. Mines micro pave with a round brilliant cut centre stone E colour, VS2 clarity and 1ct feel very lucky
I always say why walk, when you can strut!! You better strut honey!!💅🏾
Haha I love it! Thank you so much lovely!!
😂🥰
This ring does your hard work and dedication to being a mother, wife and Doctor justice!
Just love how women bond together over each other's jewelry, especially wedding and engagement rings.
It always makes me smile. 🥰 Spectacular choice KB! Enjoy it in good health ❤️
You worked hard and also your husband you deserve to "brag" love your channel!
We know you don’t have to show off.... or brag... 😆 You work hard for everything you have. I actually see it as motivation. 😌🤷🏽♀️ You are just giving your subscribers what they want! I know when my fiancé and I were talking about rings and getting engaged he was trying to buy a 20,000 ring. I saw your previous video about your ring last year, and I told him to get a moissanite instead of a diamond! So you helped us out! ❤️ At the end of the day... you cannot satisfy everyone. If they don’t like it... they have a choice not to watch it.
I live for your luxuriousness . If people don’t like it they can just not watch
There is literally nothing that could make that ring any more stunning! It is perfection in every way. Congrats! You deserve it!
It was an absolute pleasure hearing you discuss rings, and stones! I think the fact that you were able to do this for yourself is also very empowering. ❤️
I think it's actually just a matter of preference. Some people literally don't care about jewelry and the wedding/engagement ring is only about the symbology- not a fashion statement. Others like to upgrade the way you did, which is what I did, although I didn't get a bigger center stone. I had a three stone ring and I just had the stones reset in another setting with a pave halo. For a lot of people they like to upgrade because it is first a symbol of your love, but also symbolic of your accomplishments and the life you have built with your spouse. For a while, the anniversary band was popular. People would keep their wedding band and engagement ring, but add a diamond pave band to symbolize a significant wedding anniversary. I think it's whatever people want to do.
My mom got a new engagement ring for 25 years and a new wedding band at 30 years. (Partly because her fingers got a little bigger as she got older and her wedding band didn’t fit anymore)
She had her original engagement ring turned into a beautiful right-hand ring, and I think that was a great way to preserve it. Her ring had a center stone and ten diamonds around it (added on their 10th anniversary) in a rectangular shape, and the jeweler put it in a beautiful shape of a circle, and it kind of looks like a flower. She plans to hand it off to my brother if he wants to get engaged, and if he wants to keep it the way it is that’s fine but she’s okay if he wants to change it.
Just wanted to share that little story because it’s such a wonderful thing to be able to upgrade your rings but keep the originals for sentimental reasons.
Wedding rings are a huge deal (for me at least). It represents a love & you my dear deserve to wear what you love. These rings are all gorgeous! I personally love the princess cut and is the one my husband updated our ring after 10 years of marriage. Thank you for sharing! ☺️
The Internet can be an evil place but there are people who are just happy for others. It's beautiful thanks for making this video your planner video I couldn't stop looking at it! Congratulations it looks stunning on you 😍😍
I had two bands on either side of my solitaire that were all soldered. When I upgraded the solitaire, I felt the same as you, the other band took away from the beauty of the solitaire. So it was removed. Now I wear that band separately on a different hand. All of your rings are gorgeous!
Soooo glad you did this! You always are so intentional in your choices and it’s really helpful in encouraging me to think about what I really want and invest in great quality. I’m turning 30 this year and I think I want to do a 2.5-3ct Moissanite ring for myself, and hearing you talk over what you like and don’t like about the different design features of your various rings was great!
This is the video I’ve been waiting for. That ring is stunning!!! I’m so happy such a dream inspiration piece exists!
I love a lot of your videos, but I would be lying if I didn’t say that this is one of my FAVOURITES!! Thank you for sharing your ring journey and information, thank you for opening up about different stones, and thank you for being vulnerable. I hope all you get in this video is positive feedback, because I truly wish more people talked about this!! Fantastic and very informative!!
I love hearing you talk about your jewelry! It's all beautiful! Don't be embarrassed to talk about it!
I love this deep jewel tone on you! And, I'm echoing most of the other comments here but like I said in a DM to you, FLAUNT THAT RING! You two worked (financially, emotionally, in your relationship for one another and in your individual lives as separate people) H A R D to get to where you are today. You have a beautiful family, two healthy baby girls, parents that come around and are excited to love on their grandchildren, furbabies running around...relish in your achievements as a woman, a wife, a mom, and a doctor. ♥️
i have the best life 🥺 thank you
I'm SOOOO glad that you made this video! I have enjoyed looking at your rings over the years, as well as the other pieces that you wear. Your dainty necklaces are also beautiful! As a jewelry lover...kudos on this educational and inspirational video. ❤️💍
Got my original engagement and wedding band from Laurenb and I can’t tell you how wonderful they are! Quality is phenomenal!
I’m so glad you made this video. The rings are stunning 💜
Aaahh I remember the day you told me about Tacori rings back in our college days and basically started my journey on looking at rings too ❤️ congrats on your 10 year with such a gorgeous ring !! Learned so much from this video 🥰
Love this! Instantly knew this had to be a Lauren B creation😍 I’ve been following them for years and absolutely love their rings and their knowledge. I got engaged this past November and got my very own Lauren B double halo cushion cut - My setting is almost identical to yours and I’m obsessed! Your ring is absolutely gorgeous🤩
I got a moissanite ring when my husband and I got engaged 19 years ago. No one had really ever heard of it, but our jeweler recommended it and I still love it. We always intended to replace it with a diamond later on but I never really thought it necessary. Maybe at 20 years hubby will surprise me! All your sets are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Glad I'm not the only who has more than one wedding set 🙈 I've got 4! 😅
I’m so stinkin’ excited for this and it’s 45 FREAKIN’ MINUTES 😍
Gorgeous!! You never brag...you’re so informative and such a gem for always sharing!
Thank you for doing this very thorough video! You're an all rounder for sure!! Smart in your profession, tech, jewelry, fashion, etc.... the list can go on and on... Enjoy it in the best of health and you have nothing to be shy about! You and HB are both hard working physicians and work hard for everything you own!! Congratulations on this stunning sparkler!!!
I just watched all of this and I’m not even in the market for a ring. 😆 You always make things easy to understand and I’m genuinely happy for you so I tuned in. 💛
I’m so glad you did this video. When I first found your channel I was in awe of your jewelry!!! Your rings are stunning 💍💍💍
Your ring is stunning! I am so happy you chose to address it because I was so curious! Don’t blame you for keeping prices private. Thank you for the spectacular information.
I used to work at Tiffany & Co before I became a nurse and LOVED looking at all the stuff (plus the employee discount 😉)
i love rings- yours is gorgeous! i just got a new wedding set for 20 years and it’s so fun to upgrade and just enjoy something new:) Enjoy your beautiful set!
Girl your husband is a doctor and your an anesthesiologist! Y’all deserve it!!!!!!!
She’s also a doctor ....
@@orioncasalducinoa3027 I was about to say that, thanks for mentioning
“You AND your husband are doctors”...so antiquated that the commenter listed the husband first
Absolutely STUNNING ! 🤩🤩🤩 I love the fact that you went with him to pick out and design your ring . I think the stigma of NOT having your partner choose a ring 💍 isn’t “selfish” “takes away the surprise” or “controlling” because YOU are wearing it for the rest of your life !
My (now) husband didn't even come with me when I chose my ring... I literally just went to the store and bought it (within out budget) because he got tired of coming with me because I'm too picky 😅😅 my mom got upset when she found out... I never understood why, I wanted what I wanted!! 😅
My fiancee and I went and picked out my ring and I'm glad! We thought we were on the same page on the style but when we put it on my hand we were like yeah no. But once we found the one, it was a magical experience together!
Yay, so excited for this video! It’s so beautiful! I live vicariously through you! 💍🤩
Never be ashamed!!!! A ring is a ring. It symbolizes love and a reminder that you made it.. no matter what my partner gets me I’ll be so happy..
gorgeous ring!
Thank you for taking the time to do this video ... I loved it !!! Congratulations 🥳
Absolutely gorgeous rings 😍😍😍❤️❤️ you both work hard for what you’ve accomplished, no bragging at all! Loved all of them!
The ring you created is stunning! 💗 I love gemstones and jewelry, so I loved this video! 💕
Thank you for making this video! Love hearing about the story behind your pieces. I love that you upgraded your ring. I’ve always loved your original set and hope to have something similar when I upgrade. Xoxo
My dream ring! So beautiful 😍
Aww thank you Toni! 🥰
"...Could be sumpin else" 🤣
This was incredibly informative!! I've been discussing upgrading my set and essentially want a replica of my existing rings but bigger and higher quality!
Well deserved, Doc!!!! 😍
Congratulations! My eyes were darting back and forth between the ring and the Rolex.
I love you for posting this video! I always wished you would cause you have my exact taste (down to the thinness of the band). Don’t feel like it’s bragging at all! It’s motivation!!
I know you’re busy but can you just go ahead and add a jewelry line to the mix?? 😂😂 I would love some dainty diamond pieces.
😂🤣😂🤣
I set the alarm and STILL had to wait to watch! Pesky ol’ work day! Love the rock (ahem, ring), Kristina!!! We all have different circumstances and financial situations. I am happy to see others have and do the things that make them happy. You work hard and your priorities are obviously in order so enjoy every bit of it. Thank you for sharing and for the vicarious enjoyment! Hugs!!!
I’m SO GLAD you made this video! I will be married for 10 years soon and want to upgrade my ring. This gave me such wonderful ideas! I don’t find it bragging at all. You and HB work very hard. You go girl.
I love rings and have more than one I wear as a wedding set. Loved this video. One of my rings is moissanite, one is my original diamond ring set, one is my diamond anniversary ring, and I have cz rings, too.
Hello Denise 🤔🥰
I've been nursing an awful toothache over the complete holiday weekend, so this video totally cheered me up because I'm a huge magpie (got it from grandma). Loved learning more about the process, too. That stone is gorgeous and both rings are so unique. I'm from a country where people don't typically give engagement rings, and if they do, they are usually either tiny or no real diamonds because our men don't want to shell out the massive cash. Maybe I need to find myself a cute American haha.
So glad you made this video!! That ring is STUNNING and suits you so well! It’s helpful knowing your ring size. I have petite hands too and even though it’s a large ring, it still looks so good and tasteful and not obnoxious. I’m a Morganite girl so I agree that would look amazing in that setting. Major goals!! 😍😍😍 It would be so cool if you were able to do a ring collaboration or mini collection with a jewelry brand someday! I bet it would be gorgeous.
Thanks for doing this! Love jewelry! Congrats on ur newest splurge!
Also I have my nanas ring that mom used for her engagement ring. It’s so antique looking but it’s too small for me to wear. But that’s also something you can do with the ring for your daughters. If they decide to get married. And they person actually asks yal first.
This was super informative! And fun to watch! I’m glad you made this video after all
I watched this vid right when you uploaded and I had never heard of Rare Carat until you mentioned it. Almost a year of checking everyday for my perfect stone, I finally found my beautiful diamond on V-day!! I’m so glad I watched your vid and listened to you carefully bc it helped me a lot. I went with a round 4.54ct hearts & arrow cut. Thanks!
While I'm not in the market for a new ring (maybe at ten years!) I learned so much. You said you were worried about making this, but I think it turned out great! xo
They’re all so beautiful but that new one 😍 gorgeous!! I also love that you don’t have a negative attitude towards Moissanite. I think they can be a great option 👍
Yessss!!! Kristina, I have been waiting for this video!! :) I have watched you for so long and my own 'great love' is jewelry also, so I totally understand! May you have good health and happiness in enjoying your new rings! We all know that the most important thing is our family, but the immense joy you have when you look down at a sparkly diamond is hard to beat, ha ha.
I love that you talked about moissanite! I have a moissanite and sadly so many people think they are a fake ring or have this idea that it's for people who cannot afford diamonds when in reality a lot of people like myself own both, they each have their own pros and cons! Even for people who choose moissanite purely for the cost-benefit because they can't afford a diamond, it is still a gorgeous stone and in no way anything to be ashamed of! Also, I don't know too much about this but I have heard moissanite in the smaller stones does not hold up as well, perhaps that's why your moissanite eternity band didn't hold up as well, my jeweler recommended using diamonds for side stones, eternity bands or any stones below a carat instead of moissanite.
As a jeweller, I loved this video. You are so right in terms of the 14ct. If you are are going for gold go 9ct. Otherwise Platinum. 💎
Moissanite IS a fake diamond 😂
@@Hannah-pz5wp I mean its a different stone so no not a fake diamond lol. But in terms of do people use it in place of a diamond because it’s affordable absolutely! Some use it and say it is a diamond as well which is why I understand your comment, it can for sure be classified as diamond passing! My comment was just highlighting that there are also people who appreciate the stone and also own diamonds and can afford them but still purchase moissanite for pieces. I think white sapphire is a beautiful stone, could it pass for a low quality diamond? Sure. Doesn’t diminish its value or beauty as a stone.
@@Hannah-pz5wp No. It's not. It's a different stone completely. A lab created diamond generally costs less than a comparable moissanite. I prefer moissanite to diamonds because of the rainbow refraction and sparkle. Diamonds are comparatively lackluster. Plus, a natural moissanite is rare, a diamond is not. That's a myth perpetuated by the diamond industry. Moissanite is also conflict free, and it comes from space. Was found in a meteor. As someone heavily into astrophysics, this makes it way more special. It is like wearing a little piece of space. You can prefer diamonds, but down downgrade a moissanite to a fake diamond. A Cubic Zirconia is a fake diamond.
@@Hannah-pz5wp moissanite is moissanite. It’s only fake if you tell people that it is diamond.
You would be the best jeweler! Your attention to detail is phenomenal. Thank you for doing this video. Your oval ring is gorgeous 😍
I say brag away! You both work hard and live a life that dreams are made of for most people. I love watching your videos. Your ring is perfection. I love it!
Stunning!! This was really educational as well. Beautiful piece. 💜
Love grows and evolves just like a person/couple/family, why can't your jewelry? You worked hard for your money you can spend it on whatever you want without any apologies!
This video is so inspiring for us young professionals out here, what a dream!! Your taste is impeccable
So excited for this video!! Been dying to know the details!!
You work hard for your money; never be ashamed of what you buy yourself.
I have a bunch of different rings! I have my original set and then over the years I’ve gotten some bigger CZ and morganite rings, and then I’ll go back to my smaller 1 carat original diamond. Anyways I love jewelry and all videos about jewelry!
They are beautiful! Congratulations on your family and success ❤️
You inspired me to go get the engagement ring I dreamt of! I was scared it was "too big"
I ended up getting a little under 4.5ct radiant cut center stone! With two emerald cuts on each side.
I'm so happy ahhh!! Thank you for showing me that big rings can be classy and not gaudy
Love it! Everyone’s ring stories are so unique! Mine came from a pawn shop. I was 19 and we were living paycheck to paycheck. I wanted a ring and I didn’t feel weird about bad ju ju. I feel like at one point the person before me loved what that ring meant. My center stone has been upgraded now that we are financially able to. We have been married 10 years with many more to go! Celebrate your love and accomplishments however you see fit!
I’ve never seen any of your videos, but I love this! It’s beautiful obviously and congrats on such a beautiful wedding set!
Loved this! I learned so much. Such gorgeous pieces - enjoy them ❤️
Never worry about us judging you!! You and HB have earned everything you have!! Next, since I love jewelry and watches, would you mind doing your watch collection? Just got my dream engagement ring for my 60 birthday. Your rings are stunning!!
Wow I didn’t think I was gonna as interested in this video as I was lol. Great video, love how detailed you went! ✨
This ring is PERFECTION. And listening to you talk about your rings for 45 minutes was salve for my soul. Thank you.
Your rings are gorgeous! My husband didn’t propose with a ring, so I got to pick exactly what I wanted later. I knew when I got married again that I wanted something different - so I went with rose gold with a morganite center stone and set with a single row of pave diamonds. My wedding bands (also two cause this girl is extra) alternates diamonds and morganite stones. I love Love LOVE my set. I have banged my ring and I knocked out a halo stone but never damaged the center stone. Never worry about what others thing- you rock the ROCK that speaks to you.
can I just say... you look soo good here! the makeup , ash color hair lash and lips, girl you look GOOD!!
Thanks for doing this, I was so sad I missed the IG you did about your ring the first time!
It's absolutely stunning! 💍
Edit: They're all absolutely stunning!
So excited to watch I’ve been waiting for this !!!!
SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!!
You introduced me to moissanites! I have four moissanite rings now...and now I want another! ❤🧡💛
My dad makes jewelry. It’s so fun to get to design and see you dreams come to life.
"I'm not gonna say what kinds...but I live in Texas" 😅
Yesssssss I’ve been waiting for this vid 😍💍
yesss i was waiting for this video! we both got our new rings at the same time!
It's stunning!! Very informative to hear about the selection and creation process.
Girl, you earned it and you worked for it! Loveeee that you share every aspect of your life♥️ ps. My husband is in the market for a Tesla and came across your video when you got yours wrapped, and he’s like babe look at her car-I’m like ohh, that’s Kristina ♥️!!
Love all your rings !! I love my platinum diamond round 8 carat ring it has two rows of princess cut diamonds have two separate eternity bands , they are very heavy but I would never do any other metal. I have never had any issues with mine. I highly recommend platinum ! Happy shopping ladies🥰
Stunning, I must say I had the same idea about east/west but read reviews that they have quality issues so opted out and just wear a band when I want to travel. The bow tie issue is not one that Jewlers like to talk about, I found out about Bow ties when shopping for my pear Diamond which also has bow tie.
Just came across your channel with this video. Your ring is stunning! I’m 26 and just got engaged with a stunning 2.5 radiant ring. I also adore all things jewelry and diamonds so I can really appreciate that stunner on your finger 😍
Also love your personality, you seem very down to earth. Definitely subscribing to your channel.
Love you Kristina! I always find it so fun to see what you invest into and love all of your content!! Sending hugs!!💕💕💕
