Enjoyable Proposals - Giacomo’s Story

You won’t just find dinosaur bones at the museum. You might even find love, like our new friend Giacomo!

If you would like to share your proposal story too, email us!

Here’s Giacomo’s Story . . .

“Looking for an unconventional way of expressing my commitment I found your company the perfect fit. I purchased two styles of engagement rings. And then couldn’t decide which one to give my soon-to-be wife, so I gave her both! I asked her to marry me with our children present where she and I had our first date (this is the second marriage for both of us).

Everyone was in agreement, especially her!

We got married on November 6, 2009, at the Paterson Museum in New Jersey. Actually, that’s where I met her. She was bringing her class on a visit to the museum and I happen to be the museum’s director (and that was three years ago!).

We are very happy together. Some things get better each day. She wears both rings I proposed to her with: one on her hand and the aother around her neck on a chain.”

Aww, Giacomo – thanks for sharing your story with us! We’re super glad that Turtle Love Committee gets to be a part of your awesome relationship!

Cool jewelry thats good for people and the planet!

We like our planet.
We support independent artisans.
We think less is more.

While our initial inspiration came from the idea that wedding and engagement rings should be special, unique and represent YOUR relationship while not breaking the bank, we have expanded our collection of beautiful eco-friendly jewelry to be more friendly for the earth and inspire to you celebrate ALL of life’s special moments!


We search high and low to bring you jewelry that’s made in small workshops using recycled metals and/or environmentally-conscious practices. We’re working hard to get responsibly-sourced stones. We’re making our packaging smaller and smaller, and we use the United States Postal Service to take advantage of existing delivery routes. Even the address labels on our shipping boxes are made with recycled paper.
