I wear it almost everyday, but my daughter (who's almost 4) knows one day it will be hers & often dances around with it on her index finger![]()

Yes, my daughter Hope keeps asking why she can't have it yet, because it says her name inside just like her pre- school kit bag. So that means its hers, right?![]()
Sadly we haven't got around to buying a stone for our other daughter (2nd child syndrome!) But I'd like a Tanzanite or Columbian emerald for her...

And I did buy her a little silver star necklace with a teeny diamond in the center last year that she only takes off if she sees me get my ultrasonic out - I think she is a complete mini-me![]()
Oh my goodness gracious. That settles it. We are having a third child in hopes of finally getting a girl. Must have a girl!!!Alex Tilley said:Ooh, Colorluvr, what a fabulous idea!

I did not and did not.So I spoil my nieces with girly things. One year, I got them each a tiara for Christmas! Anyway, it would be wonderful to live vicariously through your girls and help with rings (or a necklace for the older one since she seems so good with the one she already has). We'd all loooooove to help find the right stones (with their approval of course!).
The one thing I caution is that it will be hard to find anything as pretty as your sapphire ring; its big (can you imagine a one carat sapphire on a little girl's finger?), its pink, its saturated, its pretty and its a traditional solitaire - how will you compete with that?!!

Oh, and talk about second child syndrome. I've had a peridot bracelet for DD1 for years, nothing yet for DD2, and she's 14.

But, I swear, I nursed DD1 by the light of QVC (I know, more shame,) while I was too tired to get out of bed, with DD2. I nursed her to the sound of her father's snoring.Might explain why she isn't my jewelry loving child?
