My new RHR birthday gift!

[beechezz]

Hi again everyone. For my birthday in April my DH had my mom''s diamond that was given to me reset in a halo setting that I was lusting after ever since I joined PS!

I don''t know that stats, but it is .66 ct, very white and about an SI2 (according to the jeweler). It is a very special diamond to me since my Dad sold his 1956 Chevy and bough the diamond for $500 back in the early 1960''s to give to my Mom. My Mom told me she used to stare into the stone all of the time (I think she still misses it). My parents split up back in 1982 so she left it with my Dad. He gave it to me when I turned 18 and I have been wanting to wear it, but LIFE got in the way so I finally had it set (since joining PS and staring at all of the eye candy). I''m so happy to have it, I had to wait about 6 weeks for the setting to come in (from my local jeweler who my e-ring and wedding ring came from). My brother and his wife just had a daughter about 6 weeks ago and I said if I don''t have a daughter I will pass it on to her. In my opinion diamonds should stay in the family with the girls. I''m very sentimental as you can tell!

Without further ado, my little beauty:

That is a lovely ring Beechez-congrats-I hope you have a daughter someday to pass it down too. It is a lovely sentiment to pass it to your niece as well. What
a sweet heart you have.

What a romantic story, I''m sure not too many guys would sell their cars to buy a ring. It looks beautiful in the halo setting Beechezz, one of the nicest I have seen.

Really nice gift

Beautiful ring and what a sweet story!!!! My DH sold his boat motor to pay for my ring

And I totally agree about diamonds staying with the girls in the family. I''d love to get my hot little hands on my mom''s diamond, which she hasn''t worn in decades and I *think* is almost a carat. I think she might be saving it for my brother though

You have a beautiful sentimental ring. I love that you have chosen to pass the rings along the female issue, proper order I feel!
