Before coming to PS, I didn't know that upgrades were a thing! My now hubby started off presenting me with a $10 ebay ring. I was really upset and for many years we worked towards an upgrade to a diamond ring.
Our 10 year anniversary happened at the start of COVID. We found this stone from Alex Park which was sitting there for a few weeks. Just our luck as his stuff sells like hot cakes. We decided on a simple yet intricate design with lots of engraving. It was perfect and came just in time for the birth of our first child.
Due to COVID and then pregnancy weight gain, DSS set in rather quickly. I had been planning a reset for the last two years however the jeweller that I was working with could not deliver. Thank goodness for David Klass who was able to get the melee stones back for me and was able to make this setting for me.
I can't believe this setting was two years in the making. This new suit and the centre stone go so well together. I've affectionately named him Helios or baby H which means sun because he's my little ray of sunshine who lights up my world - just like my son. Is it just a PS thing to name our rings?
For anyone interested in the specifics:
