impression??
A:My fiance for christmas surprised me with an engagement ring. I could care
less what the ring looks like that's the most insiginificant part. The most
important thing is the felling behind the ring.
I find this subject interesting - there's a long story behind my rings. My
husband was engaged for a short period a long time ago. She and he went all
over Houston, finding the right design she wanted, having the set made with 18K
and putting in perfect diamonds (she was a high class snob and would accept
nothing other than perfect diamonds). The day my husband went to pick up the
rings and pay for them (she was living in a different state at the time) she
called and cancelled the engagement. Now, she knew he was going to pick up the
rings that day so why wait until after he bought them? Of course he was stuck
with them.
The set was gorgeous but really - who needs that many diamonds?? and the
setting was 18K which is a little fragile in my mind. So when we got engaged
he asked me what I wanted. I told him to take the huge solitaire out of the
center of this massive ring (I swear there must have been 18 or 20 diamonds
surrounding the solitaire and the band had another 8 diamonds in it) and have
it reset, by itself, for me. Then we purchased a separate wedding band.
The good news is, I have taken all of these diamonds and had several different
rings made since we got married - some with Amethyst (my favorite stone) and
some with emeralds. Does she know that her one "perfect"
