DM us your questions on theI’m writing because my longtime live-in boyfriend is visiting his parents and just texted me pics of his grandmother’s ring. To be honest, it’s not what I expected, and I’m not sure it’s right for me.
The possibilities run the gamut, says Outten, whose family-owned and operated store has been around for over a century. “We live in Charleston where antiques reign supreme and old school charm is extreme!” she says. “Some of the old guard here have been holding on to thread bare linens and family silver for literally 300 years, so occasionally a ring is just too fragile to be worn every day.
Other times, mothers-in-law to-be are almost a little too excited to bring in the family ring for their son, so they can finally upgrade to a large modern stone now that they’re passing on an old gem. “We had a situation where the ring was given and the bride adored it, but the groom’s sister was devastated because she loved that ring and thought it should be hers!” Outten remembers.
