It’s hard to believe that this news stand favorite has been around for so long! Seventy- five years of keeping us “in the know” on bridal fashion and trends. I think it’s rather fitting that this contest features such a trend setting design.

As part of this celebration, one Brides lucky reader will receive a platinum set valued at $18,000. De Beers will unveil this unique platinum band and engagement ring that’s beautifully intertwined into one on February 10th. Mark your calendars and visit www.brides.com/75 to enter! Please note that you will not be able to enter until Tuesday. With news like this… Why wait?
