Over the past year, we've been encouraged to embrace a virtual life from the comfort (and safety) of our homes - and what seemed limiting at first has resulted in a world of opportunity. We're attending ceremonies and events across the globe, in destinations that would be difficult to travel to. More time is being spent with family - and pets. And shopping has evolved quite a bit. Big purchases, once an in-person affair, are now ordered from .coms. As for engagement rings, an endless display of dream rings and the opportunity to work with a talented jeweler to create a custom, one-of-a-kind engagement ring has presented itself to those in search of their love's symbol. While the possibilities are limitless, such a wide selection can also be dizzying.
