Rings
Hidden Treasures at Doyle & Doyle
Posted on Feb 10, 2009 3:47:28 PM  |  By The Blogsmaid

As a fan of vintage and antique jewelry, I have long been a fan of Doyle & Doyle, which is this little shop here in New York co-owned by sisters Elizabeth and Irene Pamela Doyle. Their love of old, classic, beautiful pieces led them to pursue their passion and open their shop in 2000. Often, when I have brides who love things vintage, I'll direct them there for bands and wedding jewelry. The prices are amazingly reasonable. I wanted to share it with you, because I only recently realized that this little jem of a store (pun intended) offers online shopping. But, take heed! Because most of these are one of a kind pieces, what's here today, might be gone tomorrow! Are any of your wearing any heirloom or vintage pieces on your wedding day?

On Sunday we bought our rings. It was just one of those things we did that day -- wedged somewhere between drinking morning coffee, buying rolls of paper towels, lugging cat food home, doing the dishes, watching Meet The Press, reading the New York Times, living our lives.

And I think the matter-of-factness of the event speaks to how two rings symbolize something we're living every day. In a way, it's just a formality.

Can You Help Me Find My Ring?

Well, no, not that ring. That would be a horror story. I'm looking for my post about shopping for wedding bands and the story of my engagement ring called "With This Ring." A little backstory: As loyal readers know, Nearly Wed has a brand new homebase under the banner of Simply Stated, along with 8 other snazzy new blogs and KvO's fabulous Adventures in Chaos. In the migration from our old platform to new, the ring post (thankfully just the ring post) mysteriously disappeared. We're not sure exactly how except that there was a technical glitch. It might be a bit egotisitical of me to think that someone might have saved or printed out the post, but just on the offchance....would you send it to me if you have it? Send to ShesNearlyWed@gmail.com. (Rewriting it seems like an impossible task. Maybe someday...) The worst part is there was a call...
