Description
My parents got married in 1957, and this was my mother's engagement ring. She died in 1971, and the ring came to me when I turned 18. I wore it for several years, off and on.
I have one niece (she would have been my mother's only grandchild) and on her 18th birthday, I gave her the ring. (You won't be surprised to hear she likes it!)
Hard to believe this ring is now over 50 years old. (Harder to believe I'LL be 50 years old this year! LOL!)
Shot macro, hand-held, outdoors, on a nice sunny day in August.

Still a bling-babe, Tara!! I stopped wearing rings when I took all the skin off one of my fingers on the tap whilst washing my hands! (TMI!)
great macro of a interesting subject! RS
Excellent macro. I'm sorry to say I'm older than that ring... but I feel just as brilliant... LOL A very nice story and I understand the meaning in it. My dad had a gold ring he wore from 1937 until the day he died in 1987. It was then passed to me. I had the engraving renewed (had to have it sent out as only a few people in the US still do that style of engraving) and wore it for many years. Now it sits in a secure spot, waiting to be passed to my eldest grandson when I go on to my Great Reward...
Awesome capture of this beautiful ring. I'm right behind you, I'll be 49 in September. Excellent.
My wife has my grandmothers's engagment ring as her own. She loves it too. Great story and image.

Beautiful.
Nice to see the ring is being handed down, and I wonder just how many years this will continue, for many I hope. Excellent photography of a superb ring - hugs Jane xx
that is lovely. I like the skin texture too which came out super next to the ring
Not being the sentimental type, I really don't have anything to add to all this nostalgia and retrospection, but will say terrific clarity, colors, textures and glittering reflections in this superb macro, Tara.
Beautiful ring...
How lovely, to have this lovely old ring passed down in the family like that! A gorgeous capture!
Oh I so want a macro lens. Fantastic shot.
