About 5 years ago, my husband was asked to hold onto my ering and wedding band when I ran in a fun run. When I got to the finish line and asked for my rings back, my husband ony had my wedding band. He lost it. 3 hours later, I gave up, reported it missing, and never saw it again.

We brought a half carrat chain store diamond to replace it, but it wasn''t the same... And we always talked about having a new ring made.

I picked up a lovley 1.65ct aquamarine, and talked about setting it in a three stone setting with a couple of DH''s Aunts ering princess cut diamonds, or in an ideal world, with a couple of asschers.

I sort of forgot about it when work got crazy, and I gave up trying to find the right diamonds.

Then On Wedensday, 13 years after he popped the question the first time, my beloved ased me if I would remain his wife forever, and presented me with THIS! I had NO idea that he went ahead with it, I hadn''t even talked about what I wanted apart from wanting a three stone ring! He and our jeweller did such a good job, and they designed the perfect ring for me.

Ellen, no. He never got over it, and this ring was as much for him as it was for me. When we replaced the lost ring the first time, I just went into a chain store and picked out the first shiny thing that caught my eye and was within the insurance budget. But it never made my heart sing like this one does.

Amethyste, he was as upset as I was, the poor thing. But, he is a happy camper now! lol.

DearBuddha, I noticed your ring on another thread and thought the same thing! You know. The funny thing is, I always take my rings off before I run. That day I was just *so* excited about running, I totally forgot to slip them off, and only noticed when I got to the satrt line...


Thanks again for letting me share. I love the effort, thought, and time my husband put into this project as much as I love the result. It really is the thought that counts, isn't it?
 
Beautiful ring! What a sweet husband!!
 
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!! Your DH really hit a home run with your ring. What a fabulous ring and band. Wear it in the best of health.


Regards,
Lisa

I love that you can see such dazzling blue color even at the distance this photo was taken! Beautiful! And the yellow gold makes the blue pop even more than WG or platinum would, IMO.
