My husband lost his watch and wedding band tying them to his scrubs. I think I’d leave that beautiful ring at home on OR days.

I’m sorry to hear that
Sometimes it’s just a momentary distraction… or when you are upset about a case. I don’t suppose the laundry service returned it to him?

That diamond is so spectacular! I think after a week or two you will get used to the "look" and certainly once the ring is sized, it will feel more like "yours."

Thank you Beagles! I think something about selecting the wrong ring size probably throws it all off in the mind. Like wearing shoes that are 2 sizes too big. Can’t visualize how it will work.

My husband plans to fly to New York next weekend. So hopefully in 1.5 weeks, I’ll put it on and it will feel better.

In the meantime, I’m leaving it in box and not looking at it. I don’t want to develop some sort of aversion to it!

He got the ring back, but not the watch, which, of course, is one size fits all. It was back when he was a bleary eyed, sleep deprived, over worked resident. (Now he’s a bleary eyed, sleep deprived, over worked attending) although now he only works 60-70 hours a week instead of 90-100.

Typical. I don’t have that life right now because of Covid. They don’t let us operate to save ICU beds. Is your husband an orthopod? For some reason that’s stuck in my mind.

 

[AllAboardTheBlingTrain]

Your ring is utter perfection! I am also so jealous of your lovely slim long fingers! You could be a hand model

Are you allowed to wear a pendant under your scrubs in the OR? If yes, I would get a ring holder necklace - much safer than tying it to your scrubs!

 

[cushioncutnut]

What a gorgeous piece of art that incorporates you and your husband's heritage. I love the simple elegance of the halo that really allows to showcase that gorgeous diamond!

No, he’s a urologist. His hospital is also limiting elective surgeries, but most of what he does is cancer or surgery that is time dependent. What is your specialty?

 

[tyty333]

The gallery is gorgeous! I like how the halo is a nice little compliment to the stone but not too big...lovely piece! Congratulations!

I’m a cardiac surgeon. Biggest consumer of ICU beds.. so limited to only emergency cases for the moment. I am a big believer in rules, so I’m not trying to sneak any patients in that strictly don’t “need it ASAP”.. but I hope it clears up soon.

Thank you tyty333

I wasn’t set on halo, but my husband really wanted it. So he appreciates the positive comment. LOL

Yes. I think the necklace may be the way to go. I just never wear necklaces so hesitating !

 

[vintageinjune]

What a wild and delightful ride this has been, thank you for bringing us along!

Shock is completely understandable as part of a first reaction with that ring and size - it is massive. It is beautiful (he really nailed the "delicate" aspect of the halo) but I can see how it will take a little getting used to, as well as needing to figure out the best way to size it so you can wear it comfortably.

I shared with my husband where yours hid the ring and he got a good chuckle out of that.

 

[yennyfire]

Just W.O.W.

That’s the ring that dreams are made of! I think you’ll love it once it fits properly and as for wearing it to work or not, what about a necklace with a custom made gold or platinum “clip” (like a large lobster clasp) so you could quickly take it off and secure it? But a delicate one, maybe with engraving or something….

He was quite pleased with himself. The worst part is that he had walked downstairs (stomped) so I would think it really was there.

I think I like a clasp more then a necklace. You know what I used to worry about? I tied my ring to my scrubs and I would lean against the operating room table (maybe squishing my ring?) I used to think about that at the end of the case..

 

[allycat0303]

I did want to share this (I asked for permission). Right before my husband presented me with the ring, he took me to a rustic diner for breakfast (to throw me off the trail). I snapped a picture of him laughing at me. He just told me “you’ll never find the ring, I put it in a place you can’t get to”. I thought he looked so self satisfied and pleased with himself.

Embarrassed to admit he was actually right. I never would have found it. Thank you all for letting me share

Wow, he’s gorgeous! You’re so lucky to have such a sweet and loving man!

Also, thank you for your service during these Covid times. We really appreciate all health care workers; and being a cardiac surgeon is no small feat. Thank you, you deserve that ring!

Sprinkles,

Very sweet of you to say. I don’t do much except put people on ECMO and put chest tubes in. I kind of think I’m part of “futile service” because the mortality is so high.

 

[springerspaniel]

1. There is no such thing as "futile service" in medicine, as far as I am concerned
2. WOW. Just wow. What a stupendous ring, with such beautiful details. LM is such an artist!

 

[HS4S_2]

So amazingly beautiful. Congratulations! It is really spectacular. I hope you get much joy in wearing it!

 

[icy_jade]

Oh wow. How do you get anything done with that thing on? I’ll probably just stare at it all day and walk into walls and stuff.

It’s so beautiful!!! He did good!!!

Just my service right now. Not everyone else. I haven’t had one person survive ECMO yet. There are stories out there of survival. But not an case I’ve been involved with yet. Depressing.

So amazingly beautiful. Congratulations! It is really spectacular. I hope you get much joy in wearing it!

Thank you!

 

[Catmom]

Wow, wow, wow! It's so gorgeous. Congratulations!

 

[Christinak]

@allycat0303 so stunningly beautiful - simple elegant and amazing

 

[luvmysparklies]

This has been a suspenseful journey, but well worth the wait!
I hope Leon can put pillows on the inside shank for fit and spin. This beauty should be front and center! It is huge, but, like someone else stated earlier, it is celebrity size and they wear their rings with no problem! The inspiration pic you posted, the ring size and proportions look like yours. Just beautiful! Maybe simply viewing the ring on you vs. on someone else's hand is making it seem different.

I kinda would love to know what Mom thinks now!
Anyway, gorgeous ring, handsome husband (love the sleeve BTW), and congratulations all around!

 

[maita13]

So worth the wait, @allycat0303 !! Your hubby did an excellent job with the ring and in keeping us all in suspense. Congrats on such a deliciously delicate honker! Thanks so much for your service as a medical professional, and for taking us all on this beautiful bling journey.

 

[junebug17]

@allycat0303, this ring is just absolutely gorgeous!! It looks fabulous on your hand. What a rare and special diamond to have. And I gotta say, your dh is so handsome!

And...never mind celebrities, there are more than a few PS'ers with large stones and they wear them very proudly - as they should! It's gorgeous and I hope you will enjoy this beauty for years to come.

 

[ringbling17]

It’s beautiful! Congrats on your beautiful ring but more importantly for 25 years with your loving husband. I know it hasn’t always been easy but the best things are always worth fighting for.

 

[Dee*Jay]

That is an absolute STUNNER! And your husband is so clever -- if something were hidden in my kitchen I would never find it either!

If you want to snug up your ring a little I swear by these clear plastic spiral thingies: https://www.amazon.com/ToneGod-Ring...lja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1

Looks like they can be delivered by tomorrow if you've got prime!
