The first and most important is a gorgeous solitaire - a 1.09 E SI1, 1/9 representing our anniversary, and we looked long and hard to find a stone with those numbers and perfect dimensions.
Hey there, @Autumn in New England!I'm so pleased with it - the combo is really satisfying. I still wear my Beloved most of all, but this new ring, paired with my 25th anniversary ring, scratches a bunch of different itches - apart from being a beautiful commemorative piece. Hugs to you!
@EllieTO - my parents only had 25 years together before my mother died, so 40 years is more than I had ever hoped for. We were in the car together the other day and I said to him "I'm not sick of you at all! Are you sick of me yet?" And he said "Nope!" - and there we were - 40 years in and still in love.And I'm glad you like the design!
Thank you so much, @LilAlex! I think jewelry is the perfect way to commemorate special events - something unique and beautiful and precious - to commemorate something beyond unique and beautiful and precious. <3
Thank you so much, @Natylad! And - how are you doing these days? I hope your health is wonderful and that you're full of joy and energy! ox
@TruLuv858 - you are dead on the money when you say this is a shift - and a very intentional one at that. I try to keep my pieces balanced between the 2 metal colors so I have full sets of things to go with all sorts of outfits. But in this case, I already had the eternity - from our 25th anniversary - so I wanted this to match. I feel like they're complementary in style, and I wanted something with an ever-so-slightly old world feel. By the way - have I ever told you how much I ADORE your profile photo set??! Lordy - be still my heart!!
Thank you, @cushioncutnut! I really am thrilled with how it turned out...in the end!! Initially, I was sort of just thrashing around in the shallows, trying to get it to where I wanted it to be. But we got there in the end - mostly due to a huge amount of patience by Amy Phillips. I can be a very *not* easy customer on occasion, and I really went at this project saying "This is my 40th anniversary piece - it has to be PERFECT!" That sort of pressure from the get-go doesn't make anything easier!!
