Not Your Average Engagement Ring- Part I

Yes, I admit it, I'm a control freak. Before I got engaged I made it perfectly clear that I wanted to pick out my own engagement ring. It definitely wound up being the right decision for me because I couldn't explain specifically what I wanted, but I knew I'd recognize "the one" when I found it. A couple of weeks after I got engaged, I found it in this fantastic little boutique in Brooklyn called Cat Bird. It's not your average engagement ring- although it does have diamonds, they're this beautiful shade of blue-grey. I think the thing I love about it most though, is that it doesn't look like a regular engagement ring. I love that it's unexpected and much more "me." Cat Bird has loads of other great rings for brides who want something unusual and unique. And even better, many if not all are made by local, independent designers! Check out these great options above! They can all be found on Cat Bird's website http://www.catbirdnyc.com/
