Alright, let’s talk about this Carolyn Bessette and her wedding ring, you know, the one she got from that Kennedy fella. I ain’t no fancy jewelry expert, but I can tell you what I see and what I heard, just like I’m gossipin’ over the fence with my neighbor.
Carolyn Bessette, that city gal, real simple-like in her style, not flashy at all. She wasn’t one for big, gaudy stuff. Her ring, it wasn’t some giant rock that screamed, “Look at me!” It was more of a quiet, “I’m here, and I’m classy” kinda ring. You know, the kind you could wear to church or to the grocery store, wouldn’t stick out too much, but still looked real nice.
Now, I hear tell that engagement rings are all about the promise to get hitched. Then you got the wedding band, that’s the real deal, the “I do” part. And some folks, they get a third ring later on, like for a big anniversary or when a baby comes along. Fancy, huh? Princess Kate, she got a bunch, one from the gold they give all them royal brides, her engagement ring with the blue stone, and another one when her boy George was born. But Carolyn, she kept it simple, just like her clothes and everything else.
- Engagement Ring: This was the promise ring, the “I’m gonna marry you” ring. Carolyn’s was, like I said, not too big, but real pretty. Folks online, they call it minimalist, whatever that means. To me, it just looked like a nice, decent ring, not trying too hard.
- Wedding Band: This is the one you get when you actually say your vows, the forever ring. I reckon hers was a simple band, gold maybe, nothin’ too crazy. It matched her style, you see. She wasn’t about showing off.
- Third Ring (Maybe?): Now, I ain’t heard nothin’ about Carolyn gettin’ a third ring, and that’s a shame, considering what happened to her. Some folks get ‘em for anniversaries or when a baby comes, but she didn’t get the chance, poor thing. Her and John, they didn’t have much time together, God rest their souls.
I saw some pictures online, folks on somethin’ called Pinterest, they got all sorts of ideas about her ring. It was a diamond, I think, set in a plain band. Not one of them princess cuts or nothin’, just a good, solid stone. People sayin’ it was the perfect example of 90s style, not too much bling-bling. I guess that’s what they liked back then, simple and clean. Not like today, where everything’s gotta be big and loud.
There’s this lady, Rosemarie somethin’, she worked for John Kennedy. She wrote a book, spilled all the beans, they say. I ain’t read it, but I heard things. She probably knew all about the ring, maybe even helped pick it out. Who knows? Those city folks, they got their secrets.
It’s sad, you know, what happened to Carolyn and John. They say their bodies were burned and put in the ocean, out there by Martha’s Vineyard. All that’s left are pictures and memories, and that ring, a little piece of somethin’ that reminds folks of them. Jewelry, it ain’t just shiny stuff, it’s got stories in it, you know? It’s like a little piece of history you carry around on your finger. Carolyn’s ring, it told a story about her, about her style, about her love for that Kennedy fella.
So, there you have it, my take on Carolyn Bessette’s wedding ring. Not fancy talk, just plain speakin’, the way I see it. It was a pretty ring, a simple ring, and it belonged to a lady who knew how to be stylish without makin’ a fuss. And that, to me, is somethin’ special.
