My first jewelry gift from my now husband was my engagement ring in 1979. We met in September and got engaged in January. For the wedding gift he got me a pretty teardrop shaped ruby on a chain. I think he paid $40 for it. I used to keep my necklaces on a hook in the bathroom and I looked one day and the ruby was gone.
Yes, vtigger, $200 in 1977 was a lot of money!

Wow. This explains why you two have moved up to 3 carat stones and while I've just graduated to over one carat (and I-1s, at that!).

My memory stinks but I think my first jewelry gift from hubby was our gold wedding bands. Unfortunately mine is somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
He still has his.----------------

I met my hubby online. When we actually met in person the first time, it was Dec. 23rd, and he brought me a Christmas gift. It was a Dior butterfly pin. Yes, I still have it.Two months later, he bought me a Tiffany silver open heart necklace. Our ninth anniversary is next month. We're going to Vegas for the weekend, and he's already told me I can pick out something while we're there as my gift. It's been 10 years of being spoiled......----------------
