Oh I am so pleased to hear someone else had an antique as an engagement ring. Nice to know I am not alone in my appreciation of old stuff, lol...
I have two other sapphire and diamond rings in my stack, my Mum's eternity ring and my own. When my Mum suggested to my darling that I might like an eternity ring (Dad had just given her hers, lol), he looked at her with a big grin and said " Oh I don't know Barbie, I'm not so sure about signing up for Eternity, isn't one lifetime enough?"
Neither of us females had an answer to that one!
But I got my eternity ring the following wedding anniversary. And the sting in the tail of course was losing him just a few weeks later.
Years later I noticed one of the tiny diamonds had gone walkabout from that ring, and I decided not to replace it. Because these rings are symbols of deeply important events in our lives, and this one reminds me that something beautiful is not always absolutely perfect.
