Well I finally chose the ring of my dreams and… it is mine! My chivalrous husband slapped down the cash and I am the owner of a Deco style brilliant cut diamond (superbly sparkly) claw set with grain set surrounding in 18k white gold.
This exquisite piece of jewellery has got me ridiculously excited – but wouldn’t you know it there is always a snag. The engagement ring that was 12 years coming (refer to earlier blogs for that story) is mine technically although it is NOT on my finger yet! Wouldn’t you know it having skinny fingers means adjustments have to be made. I thought that today I would get the call and drive with intense purpose to the shop and rush back in a frenzy to show off to all and sundry. However the disappointing fact is that whoever it is at the jewellery shop that toils away fixing oversized rings is busy busy busy right now. Easter’s coming, short week, HUGE back log.. blah blah blah! Grrrr! So frustrating! I am literally dying to have it on my finger and have done my nails a stunning metallic soft pink colour to perfectly set off the sparkle and glimmer.
I need to learn Buddhist like patience. – and if I was really enlightened I would learn not to get so over excited about material possessions. As if…
Until next time - when hopefully I will have a shinny ring on my finger!
