I finally have some pictures! I still cannot find the memory card for my cameras, but I managed to use my HDV Camcorder and then capture some stills.

My wedding band was stolen from the gym last year, so my wife let me replace it with the 8 stone 1tcw shown below. The band is 18k white gold.

My wife's current wedding ring is a 0.3 Carat/H/SI1 (Uncertified) with who knows what proportions. It's actually not a bad setup, though I paid only $1,000 for it 10 years ago, and it really does not sparkle as much as you expect a diamond to. This ring is being replaced with a 1.042ct/I/VS2/ACA-H&A solitaire from White Flash.

The third ring is the decoy Alexandrite ring I purchased for her about 6-7 years ago for Christmas. She never wears it because it is too big. So I told her I would get it resized for Valentines day so that she can wear it. Now I know her ring size and the new wedding ring will arrive on Tuesday!

This is the ring that is being replaced.
