Kristina,your ring your choice, don't let comments spoil your happiness,cause that's all they are,just comments, I don't care and wouldn't care about what people think,they don't know you,,I'm sure they have done things they should be ashamed of,your just showing your choice of engagement ring,the things I've found out about the country people m from and others is disgusting,but will be sorted,so don't give it a thought.

[@goose7574]

❤️I'm sure you've already don't this (and people reading the comments), but... if you haven't, please make sure you get your jewelry re-appraised. I was shocked at what my wedding set was worth a few years ago (purchased in 2005). It was literally double what we paid for it. Thankfully I had somebody tell me to get it checked, so I could make sure _that_ and my other jewelry was covered by my homeowners insurance (a jewelry floater). Hopefully that helps somebody... would hate for somebody to have something happen to their special jewelry and then find out that their insurance wasn't enough to get it replaced. ❤️ Take Care

[@thesmileyeffect]

As a physician, you should never be ashamed by you and your husband's ability to purchase nice things. Nor only did you both attend school and work hard to accomplish your professional success.

Show off that ring! Brag about it. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s your wedding ring. You and your husband are doctors that’s a huge accomplishment that took a lot of hard work and sacrifices.

[@kristinabraly]

Eep! It makes me so uncomfortable!!!! 😖😩

The ring speaks for itself. She doesn't have to brag. 🙂

Hello Kristine 🥰😊🥰

[@mspursesandshoes]

Loved this, I"m not married and not really dating anyone. I've been successful in my career and decided I'm going to treat myself to a diamond ring as an accomplishment ring.

[@Melissabella]

My mother got married late in life and she bought herself a gorgeous three stone diamond ring *just because she could*. After she got married she kept that ring on her right hand and wore it until the day she died.

[@kristinabraly]

I LOVE that!!!

[@TubnQT]

Do it! I did! Mine is a smaller version of Kristina’s!

[@simpleandrea5726]

I am currently a college student. I would love to do that someday!

[@emjayluxe]

As you should!! 👏🏻

[@Melissabella]

As a jeweler, I am more amazed by the incredible craftsmanship of the jewelers who made that ring than the diamond itself. Your daughter's grandchildren will be wearing that ring someday and it will be just as perfect as it is today. Also, you certainly know how to pick a diamond!

[@kristinabraly]

That means so much coming from an expert like you in the field! Thank you!

[@uapnz0698]

They'll sell it lol 😅😅

[@helenalovelock1030]

It’s beautiful.

[@rustyleann7257]

SAVE ALL THOSE RINGS! Keep them for your girls. We love heirlooms, and I’m guessing those cost a pretty penny. So save one of each for the baby girls who might want them in the future

[@Kurukullachis]

I got engaged a week ago and my ring makes my heart melt. I think size is personal and depends on your hand shape. Everyone’s is so personal and no one should shame anyone for having larger or smaller stones than them it’s so personal. Mines micro pave with a round brilliant cut centre stone E colour, VS2 clarity and 1ct feel very lucky

[@MQS11]

Just love how women bond together over each other's jewelry, especially wedding and engagement rings. It always makes me smile. 🥰 Spectacular choice KB! Enjoy it in good health ❤️

[@jasmineleopard7593]

There is literally nothing that could make that ring any more stunning! It is perfection in every way. Congrats! You deserve it!

It was an absolute pleasure hearing you discuss rings, and stones! I think the fact that you were able to do this for yourself is also very empowering. ❤️

This ring does your hard work and dedication to being a mother, wife and Doctor justice!

[@lissetsanchez5316]

Wedding rings are a huge deal (for me at least). It represents a love & you my dear deserve to wear what you love. These rings are all gorgeous! I personally love the princess cut and is the one my husband updated our ring after 10 years of marriage. Thank you for sharing! ☺️

I love a lot of your videos, but I would be lying if I didn’t say that this is one of my FAVOURITES!! Thank you for sharing your ring journey and information, thank you for opening up about different stones, and thank you for being vulnerable. I hope all you get in this video is positive feedback, because I truly wish more people talked about this!! Fantastic and very informative!!

[@brandih.1557]

Yay, so excited for this video! It’s so beautiful! I live vicariously through you! 💍🤩

[@lalalynnsey]

I love this deep jewel tone on you! And, I'm echoing most of the other comments here but like I said in a DM to you, FLAUNT THAT RING! You two worked (financially, emotionally, in your relationship for one another and in your individual lives as separate people) H A R D to get to where you are today. You have a beautiful family, two healthy baby girls, parents that come around and are excited to love on their grandchildren, furbabies running around...relish in your achievements as a woman, a wife, a mom, and a doctor. ♥️

[@juliapiccolomini9482]

Soooo glad you did this! You always are so intentional in your choices and it’s really helpful in encouraging me to think about what I really want and invest in great quality. I’m turning 30 this year and I think I want to do a 2.5-3ct Moissanite ring for myself, and hearing you talk over what you like and don’t like about the different design features of your various rings was great!

[@catdogslver3773]

Thank you for taking the time to do this video ... I loved it !!! Congratulations 🥳

[@Brandy_welch]

So excited for this video!! Been dying to know the details!!

[@erinenyart6813]

I got a moissanite ring when my husband and I got engaged 19 years ago. No one had really ever heard of it, but our jeweler recommended it and I still love it. We always intended to replace it with a diamond later on but I never really thought it necessary. Maybe at 20 years hubby will surprise me! All your sets are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@AdriannaLify]

We know you don’t have to show off.... or brag... 😆 You work hard for everything you have. I actually see it as motivation. 😌🤷🏽‍♀️ You are just giving your subscribers what they want! I know when my fiancé and I were talking about rings and getting engaged he was trying to buy a 20,000 ring. I saw your previous video about your ring last year, and I told him to get a moissanite instead of a diamond! So you helped us out! ❤️ At the end of the day... you cannot satisfy everyone. If they don’t like it... they have a choice not to watch it.

[@parrishlake7321]

Your ring is stunning! I am so happy you chose to address it because I was so curious! Don’t blame you for keeping prices private. Thank you for the spectacular information.

[@maureengrimes8582]

I had two bands on either side of my solitaire that were all soldered. When I upgraded the solitaire, I felt the same as you, the other band took away from the beauty of the solitaire. So it was removed. Now I wear that band separately on a different hand. All of your rings are gorgeous!

[@lamita0506]

I just watched all of this and I’m not even in the market for a ring. 😆 You always make things easy to understand and I’m genuinely happy for you so I tuned in. 💛

I watched this vid right when you uploaded and I had never heard of Rare Carat until you mentioned it. Almost a year of checking everyday for my perfect stone, I finally found my beautiful diamond on V-day!! I’m so glad I watched your vid and listened to you carefully bc it helped me a lot. I went with a round 4.54ct hearts & arrow cut. Thanks!

[@yeseniamendoza3295]

I love you for posting this video! I always wished you would cause you have my exact taste (down to the thinness of the band). Don’t feel like it’s bragging at all! It’s motivation!!

[@Girlytang]

I set the alarm and STILL had to wait to watch! Pesky ol’ work day! Love the rock (ahem, ring), Kristina!!! We all have different circumstances and financial situations. I am happy to see others have and do the things that make them happy. You work hard and your priorities are obviously in order so enjoy every bit of it. Thank you for sharing and for the vicarious enjoyment! Hugs!!!

I’ve never seen any of your videos, but I love this! It’s beautiful obviously and congrats on such a beautiful wedding set!

[@HannahBMann]

While I'm not in the market for a new ring (maybe at ten years!) I learned so much. You said you were worried about making this, but I think it turned out great! xo

[@kimchilover8172]

They’re all so beautiful but that new one 😍 gorgeous!! I also love that you don’t have a negative attitude towards Moissanite. I think they can be a great option 👍

[@roachums123]

It's stunning!! Very informative to hear about the selection and creation process.

[@lfjphotog6779]

I think it's actually just a matter of preference. Some people literally don't care about jewelry and the wedding/engagement ring is only about the symbology- not a fashion statement. Others like to upgrade the way you did, which is what I did, although I didn't get a bigger center stone. I had a three stone ring and I just had the stones reset in another setting with a pave halo. For a lot of people they like to upgrade because it is first a symbol of your love, but also symbolic of your accomplishments and the life you have built with your spouse. For a while, the anniversary band was popular. People would keep their wedding band and engagement ring, but add a diamond pave band to symbolize a significant wedding anniversary. I think it's whatever people want to do.

[@AthenaAthena]

You would be the best jeweler! Your attention to detail is phenomenal. Thank you for doing this video. Your oval ring is gorgeous 😍

[@sailboatrn7372]

Never worry about us judging you!! You and HB have earned everything you have!! Next, since I love jewelry and watches, would you mind doing your watch collection? Just got my dream engagement ring for my 60 birthday. Your rings are stunning!!

[@sharonrobinson1412]

Yessss!!! Kristina, I have been waiting for this video!! :) I have watched you for so long and my own 'great love' is jewelry also, so I totally understand! May you have good health and happiness in enjoying your new rings! We all know that the most important thing is our family, but the immense joy you have when you look down at a sparkly diamond is hard to beat, ha ha.

[@RRZ6698]

It certainly is stunning! I’m so happy for you! 😍

[@8Agnew]

I love rings and have more than one I wear as a wedding set. Loved this video. One of my rings is moissanite, one is my original diamond ring set, one is my diamond anniversary ring, and I have cz rings, too.

[@hurst-cs2jh]

Hello Denise 🤔🥰

[@maryvblair]

My mom got a new engagement ring for 25 years and a new wedding band at 30 years. (Partly because her fingers got a little bigger as she got older and her wedding band didn’t fit anymore) She had her original engagement ring turned into a beautiful right-hand ring, and I think that was a great way to preserve it. Her ring had a center stone and ten diamonds around it (added on their 10th anniversary) in a rectangular shape, and the jeweler put it in a beautiful shape of a circle, and it kind of looks like a flower. She plans to hand it off to my brother if he wants to get engaged, and if he wants to keep it the way it is that’s fine but she’s okay if he wants to change it. Just wanted to share that little story because it’s such a wonderful thing to be able to upgrade your rings but keep the originals for sentimental reasons.

[@maiyaestrella2165]

Girl you and your hubs worked hard to get to where you’re at! Show off, brag, enjoy the things you buy... I’ll just live vicariously though you!!

[@suseq949]

Maybe in my next life I'll be as together as she is ..😂 Gorgeous, as brilliant as her ring, incredibly accomplished.

[@TaylorTeeJayVee]

So glad you made this video!! That ring is STUNNING and suits you so well! It’s helpful knowing your ring size. I have petite hands too and even though it’s a large ring, it still looks so good and tasteful and not obnoxious. I’m a Morganite girl so I agree that would look amazing in that setting. Major goals!! 😍😍😍 It would be so cool if you were able to do a ring collaboration or mini collection with a jewelry brand someday! I bet it would be gorgeous.

[@Katlynboaty]

Absolutely STUNNING ! 🤩🤩🤩 I love the fact that you went with him to pick out and design your ring . I think the stigma of NOT having your partner choose a ring 💍 isn’t “selfish” “takes away the surprise” or “controlling” because YOU are wearing it for the rest of your life !

[@winiconnor4981]

My (now) husband didn't even come with me when I chose my ring... I literally just went to the store and bought it (within out budget) because he got tired of coming with me because I'm too picky 😅😅 my mom got upset when she found out... I never understood why, I wanted what I wanted!! 😅

[@kelsieswatek9910]

My fiancee and I went and picked out my ring and I'm glad! We thought we were on the same page on the style but when we put it on my hand we were like yeah no. But once we found the one, it was a magical experience together!

[@hopeelizabeth9697]

You are glowing here! Hair and makeup!

[@hengwin]

I've been nursing an awful toothache over the complete holiday weekend, so this video totally cheered me up because I'm a huge magpie (got it from grandma). Loved learning more about the process, too. That stone is gorgeous and both rings are so unique. I'm from a country where people don't typically give engagement rings, and if they do, they are usually either tiny or no real diamonds because our men don't want to shell out the massive cash. Maybe I need to find myself a cute American haha.

[@lauracanedy2690]

This was such a fun video, thank you for sharing!

[@althyastar]

Thanks for doing this, I was so sad I missed the IG you did about your ring the first time!

[@hwelb30]

Thanks for sharing your jewellery story. I love jewellery too and found it very interesting hearing your thought process. All your rings are very beautiful!

[@theLightLees]

Your rings are gorgeous! My husband didn’t propose with a ring, so I got to pick exactly what I wanted later. I knew when I got married again that I wanted something different - so I went with rose gold with a morganite center stone and set with a single row of pave diamonds. My wedding bands (also two cause this girl is extra) alternates diamonds and morganite stones. I love Love LOVE my set. I have banged my ring and I knocked out a halo stone but never damaged the center stone. Never worry about what others thing- you rock the ROCK that speaks to you.

[@jovi922]
