Jen and Kevin at my New Year's party.<\/p><\/div>\n

I had the pleasure of creating their custom wedding bands. Jen requested something wider than the typical band, and Kevin wanted a Celtic\/tribal feel. I was happy that they each chose a design that suits their individual style. Some couples come in thinking they need to have matching rings. I always ask, “Do you wear identical outfits too?” If anyone ever answers “Yes” to that question, I will have to alert my friend Cheryl<\/a>, who hates couples wearing matching clothes (“It’s so unnecessary,” she says). She will speed to the scene and slap some fashion sense into the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

I made both rings out of 14K white gold. That’s all the similarity that was needed. Here’s Jen’s ring.<\/p>\n
