bmb144 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Another alternative is a steel ring. I've been wearing a steel ring on my right ring finger now since my early 20's and I've found steel rings far more hardy and far less allergy causing than other metal. There are really some very nice ones available and they engrave well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Thank you to all who responded! I talked to my mom about the ring that our friend showed us last Tuesday and I told her that I would really like one exactly like it. We went to two Christian stores to look around and I found a "I Am My Beloveds..." ring by Bob Siemons, but it was $53. My mom mentioned that she would get a nice ring for me for Christmas at the first one. We went to the second one and I found this lovely little Sterling Silver twist ring with Romans 8:28 inscribed on it (see my signature). It was only $12.99. I was about to take it up to the register and my mom handed me the money! Then, she said that if I still wanted that other ring from the MICM website, she'd buy it for me for Christmas. I am so excited! This is my little ring that I'm wearing right now: http://www.familychristian.com/shop/product.asp?prodID=151229&name=Dicksons%20Gifts-Sterling%20Silver-Inspirational%20Twist%20Ring It's so feminine and easy to read. That line is one of my favorite Bible quotes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary's Margaret Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 The ring is lovely. I'm so pleased you found something that reflects the song of your heart. And God bless your Mom for her generosity and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feankie Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 So....the big question that remains is? Are you thinking about the other ring for a Christmas present? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember wanting one when I made my first Consecration to the Immaculate on 12/8/2009, so it will be nice to finally have one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chains can actually be found at FUS' website: [url="http://bookstore.franciscan.edu/ePOS?store=421&item_number=40000005688&form=shared3%2fgm%2fdetail.html&design=421"]Curb Chain for Consecration[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatitude Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I will probably want something special to commemorate the occasion when (and if) I take my vows, and a ring may be a good thing to choose - for purely practical reasons. I would like some subtle way to signal my unavailability. However, women in the secular institute I hope to join are typically encouraged not to display any outward sign of their status, and I'm not sure whether the ring would be a violation of that quiet hidden spirit.

OnlySunshine Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I just received one of the most spectacular presents from one of my CRHP sisters tonight! I was considering not attending because I was having stomach cramps, but the Holy Spirit gave me a nudge and I took some Pepcid and went on my merry way. I am SO glad I did! The lady who the first post was originally about gave me a ring just like hers!!! It turns out that she originally ordered a woman's ring, but decided to order a man's ring because it was bigger and more comfortable for her finger, so she gave me her old one! I can't wear it on my left ring finger because it is too small (size 6, I believe), but I am wearing it on my left pinkie. I plan to ask a jeweler if he can size it because it is sterling silver. I am so, so, SO thankful that I went tonight. I feel much better about going and I just love being with my CRHP sisters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
