I also bought this ruby and diamond ring from Charles Alexander, on the Isle of Man. As with my Manx diamond hoops, posted about earlier, this ring reminds me of a very special time in my life when I was closely involved with the Isle of Man through my company's work for five years. I spent a lot of time there and made many friends. I am so glad I bought a nice Manx ring to remind me of the place - especially since I ended up moving so far away. Sometimes I look at the island on the webcam that they have set up on the coast - how sad is that!
