Finally - My Anniversary Ring!!

 

  

My apologies for this saga, but....

So on Friday I decided to go to the Danbury mall in CT because that was the last place I could think of looking for a special ring - I'd been everywhere else I could think of, and I just couldn't find the right thing.  There are a bunch of jewelry stores in that mall and I just felt like I was looking at the same rings, over and over.  I guess the last time I shopped for a nice piece of jewelry was 15 years ago when we chose our wedding bands, and I didn't remember or realize that a lot of the stores have the same exact stuff.  I guess somehow I thought each jewelry store had it's own "suppliers", but it seems like they must all use a lot of the same ones.  And at this point, what was supposed to be a fun thing - picking out a nice piece of jewelry for our 15th anniversary - was starting to become about as fun as looking for Mesothelioma lawyers, ya know?

  

However, I walked into a Helzberg Diamonds store (which I don't think I'd ever heard of - they don't have a store in my local mall), and right away I was taken with some of the jewelry they had in their cases - it was different!!!  A really nice saleslady came and asked if I'd like to try anything on, so I started pointing out rings.  They had the loveliest selection of vintage looking rings (and necklaces, earrings, etc.), and I just fell in love with the ring I got, pictured above.  I just love, love, love it!!!  (The picture doesn't do it justice, and it's oh so sparkly in the sun. :-)  It's pave diamonds set in white gold.)  And would you believe it WASN'T even one of the priciest rings in the case??  When does THAT ever happen??  In fact it was so reasonably priced (in my opinion, of course) that I got the matching necklace as well.  I am totally, totally thrilled!!!!!

 

THANK YOU, THANK YOU DH!!!! :-D

  

The end.
