It was an incredibly sweet and generous gesture, but we decided together that we would go out and choose a ring that both of us loved (what can I say, neither of us is particularly sentimental). Well, when the ring was ready, he picked it up and said that I would have to wait for some grand gesture for him to present it to me. Meanwhile, he hid the ring. Unfortunately, he hid it when he was heavily medicated (he's been very ill) and can't remember where he put it (he's been searching for almost a week now). Argh! I feel like such a brat because I know he feels awful (he hates seeing my disappointment and it's an expensive "mistake"), but I'm frustrated because I want it now! Sorry, just a vent. I don't have pictures, but it's the Tiffany Legecy ring.

ariesd Rough Rock Total Posts: 97 Last Post: 12/13/2005 Member Since: 10/20/2004	thanks. as much as i loved it, i almost think he loved it more. it was only the second ring we saw and he refused to look anymore, saying that it was "the one."

You know it's somewhere in the house, so keep searching.....that's what I'm doing.... You see, I have done something very similar!!! For our 5th anniversary my husband gave me a 3 stone ring with a 1ct. center emerald flanked by 15 pt emerald cut diamonds. Perfect emerald!! I've loved it for many years now, but I still wanted one day to have a ring with a diamond center stone and to purchase a matching emerald to have set on either side of the dream diamond. This has been a many year journey. 2 years ago I found the perfect emerald that matched the other, and now only had to wait and hope for a diamond one day. Long story short. I now have the diamond, but hid the emerald so well.......that I can't find it I know it's somewhere in this house, and I've looked in all my hiding places, but have hidden it too well!!!! Flip side....could he possibly be teasing you, he really has the ring and will soon suprise you with the question that will change your life Keep us posted! ****************************** Diamonds.........Yield to Temptation!

I never realized that it serves the added benefit of not losing stuff, as you never have to hide anything. You just put it away. Not to say I never lose stuff.... I just never hide anything. . The stuff I lose is from randomly putting it "down" for a minute.

Hopefully he is just playing with you and is going to pop it on you when you least expect it. Wouldn't that be a nice surprise???

ariesd Rough Rock Total Posts: 97 Last Post: 12/13/2005 Member Since: 10/20/2004	Thanks for all the hopeful responses. Unfortuantely, I'm pretty sure he's not planning some big surprise (he made me promise to "hold out" until he found the ring). Oh well, if we can't track it down within the next week, he agreed to file an insurance claim.

You'll file the insurance claim, get a new one, he'll make some grand gesture and present you the ring...and a week later, you'll find it. Now you'll have two beautiful rings to wear!! Think how lucky you are that he was drugged when he hid it!! "...Why don't they just come right out and say it? 'Diamonds...that'll shut her up!' "
