This is a bittersweet post. Eight years ago, when my then boyfriend and I decided to get married, I chose a Gabriel & Co. Engagement ring and wedding band. It was EVERYTHING I had ever wanted in a ring and he was everything I ever wanted in a partner. Last year in December, he unexpectedly passed away. I wanted to memorialize him and so I chose to purchase my same wedding band with black diamonds. I wear all three rings everyday.
