So the other day my sweet boyfriend surprised me with a gift! He just completed his training program at his new job (a 7 month painful process) and after all the family had left town and graduation was all done, he pulled me aside and presented me with the below, as a thank-you for all the support throughout, he said. I was tickled pink, he''s usually not spontaneous about gifts like this, so it was a nice surprise!
And.....well the funny part is that this ring, more or less, exhibits every design aspect that I despise. LOL. It''s almost comical how utterly off-base he was with regard to everything I like. It''s a square stone, split shank, chunky modern design, massive prongs, etc. I love delicate, vintagey rings and curvey shapes. Plus it''s a blue topaz, no doubt heated/treated and therefore not likely to be something I would ever buy.
And yet, I do sort of love it! I guess it''s the definition of "I love it because he gave it to me" - that is very true, I just never had it tested before now. I definitely don''t like the design, but whenever I look at it, it reminds me how excited he was when he gave it to me, how he said that it just jumped out at him from the jewelry case and he loved it so much that he had to get it for me. I mean, he said he got it because the color reminded him of my eyes! He''s on crack, my eyes are nowhere near this color, but really how cute is that??
