This is the engagement ring I gave my girlfriend (now wife). It is purposefully non-traditional except for the diamond on top. It is roughly engraved, like an African ring that she always wore on that same finger and is square like that ring too. The stripes on the "tower" are meant to invoke the bell tower of the duomo in Sienna, Italy, which is built of alternating layers of dark and light marble-- this was our first major vacation together. Inside the tower is trapped a rough garnet that we found on one of our first dates-- a hike in the North Cascades.
