Vintage Engagement Ring Setting, What Jewelry Item Can You Not Live Without?

Q: My silver ring with the weirdsest turn in the band that was given to me by an Indian. I was given two, so that they would fit together, i lost one when i was in the 5th grade, but i still wear this one. (I received them when i was in the 3rd grade)

A:My wedding ring. My husband had the original ring redone five years ago. I've posted this before but we sent it through the mail to the jeweler who designed the original ring. He sent photos of what would be a good deisgn and we just totally trusted him to do something we'd like sight unseen. It's a gold band with five diamonds, largest one in center and two smaller ones on each side. I always receive compliments about the ring and just love it. That sounds a lot like my wedding ring, Audrey. It has one big round stone in the center (which was my engagement ring), then 2 baguettes - 1 on either side of the round solitaire, then 2 small round solitaires - one on either side of the baguettes. I've never seen one like it, and get compliments on it all the time. I was surprised it turned out so nice, since the only picture we saw of it was what the jeweler drew on paper. He said his drawing couldn't do justice to how the diamonds would look, and he was right ;) My wedding/engagement ring set - worth $3400, don't really want to lose that ;) A pair of 1/3 ct. bezel set diamond studs that my grandfather gave my late grandmother. There's a story behind these that I've told before, but I'll tell it again: my grandma didn't have pierced ears, but my grandpa wanted to give her a pair of diamond earrings. He couldn't find a pair of real diamond clip-on earrings, so he bought her the niceest CZ clip-ons he could find, then bought these little studs too. He wrapped them in the same package, and was so proud that he had given her diamond earrings :) She wore the CZ ones with pride, and happily told people her dear husband had given her diamond earrings. My dear grandma left them to me, and I wear them just about every day. I'm wearing them now, I must have slept in them. A gold herringbone necklace my husband gave me for our 1st anniversary. My late father's ID bracelet, airforce ring, and wedding ring. My college ring - gold and ruby, and not as huge & hideous as most college rings, it's VERY beautiful.
