So, a bit of backstory:
My grandma and mum are big jewellery collectors and they have amassed a sizeable collection despite their financial situations (think war and immigration). My grandma passed away not long after I was born, and her estate was split among her five children.
Fast forward to 2018 where my now DH proposed to me after being together for 8 years. I had been gifted a ring by my mum in my early twenties. The center stone was from a pair of earrings that my grandma owned (the other stone was given to my Aunty). I am very big on family and wanted something meaningful, so I proposed that we use that ring as an ER. I’m not sure of the specs, but the dimensions point to 0.5ct MRB.
It is very tall! I was very protective of it and strictly wore it only when I left the house. It came off as soon as I came home.
Now, I love my jewellery and I was sad that I couldn’t wear it 24/7. Mum keeps her jewellery in a safety deposit box with the bank, and sometimes we would go down and admire all the beauties. Mum often showed me this one ring and how lucky she was to have inherited it from grandma. Let’s just say, she drew the long straw!
I told mum about my frustrations of not being able to wear my ER all the time due to the height and she graciously offered me the special ring to reset! I was so shocked and felt a bit guilty because she loved the ring very much.
But, without further ado, I present Ohana!
She is a .93ct bezel-set MRB G/VVS2 with 10x0.05ct G/VS channel-set princess cut diamonds
She feels like butter and is sooo comfortable to wear. I only take her off to sleep because my fingers swell.
Thanks for letting me share!
