I haven't been active on this forum in years, but I can't resist sharing and I hope you will all enjoy this. Let me start by saying that I didn't go to the mall planning to buy jewelery, but I left with a ring that was my dream beyond my wildest dreams.

I've admired the Tiffany Schlumberger Daisy ring since I first laid eyes on it - on the website - about a decade ago. I used to imagine that one day I'd have a rich husband who would buy it for me (it was a third of my yearly salary at the time and I was married to a "non-rich" man, so it was truly only a wild fantasy). I never forgot the ring. Eventually it disappeared from the website and I would occasionally do an ebay search just to dream about it, but it was always just a fantasy. I don't think I ever even saw it in person, though it's not out of the question because I bought my one other Tiffany piece at this same store 5 years ago (a Paper Flowers ring that I bought for myself when I moved to California for a new job).

I don't even know why I decided to walk through the store this weekend. I noticed it in the display and was surprised because I knew it was discontinued, but barely gave it a glance and kept walking. But I circled back to it and the salesperson engaged with me (to her credit, since I was wearing yoga clothes and even under the best circumstances don't think I look like someone who can afford such things). I thought why not try it on just to have my dream on my finger for a few moments in this life.

It appeared to be fate that it was in my size and apparently the last one in the world (I would've preferred one size larger to wear it on my middle finger since it's a very hefty ring, but they no longer exist). I was actually surprised at the price, it was lower than I expected (if you can even call this price point "low" by any reference) and these days just a fraction of my yearly bonus, not salary. I decided I was crazy but I could do it. It's symbolic for me for so meany reasons - I'm an immigrant and grew up relatively poor. I built everything I have on my own through my own career success and life decisions and risks that I've taken. I'm single now and it means so much more that I can do this for myself without needing a rich husband.

Thanks for going on the journey with me. Without further ado, here's my dream come true.

Gorgeous!!!!! I have a soft spot for daisies and own a lot of clothes with daisy prints.

That ring is glorious!
 
What a beautiful ring! I didn’t know this collection but now I’m sad it’s discontinued because it’s stunning. So serendipitous that you found it in your size ❤️
 
Firstly, huge congratulations to getting to where you are in life by yourself, from nothing to this through sheer hard work. I am always so pleased to hear stories of success.

And now. That ring. As most here know I am a Tiffany Ho & own many pieces, but I have NEVER seen that ring before. It is utterly beautiful & it looks stunning on you! It was meant to be & something aligned to make it happen :kiss2:

You wear it perfectly & here’s to your continued success!
 
Gorgeous ring and it looks beautiful on!
 
I have not seen that Tiffany ring either but can certainly see why you would be drawn to it. Congrats on achieving a milestone in your life - even if it wasn't earmarked as one! The ring obviously represents many things to you and I am happy for you that you found one!
 
Beautiful design. And a perfect look on you. Congratulations.
 
I love “meant to be” stories! Congratulations on finding your dream ring, it’s beautiful!

OMG, your post literally made me tear up!!! I COMPLETELY GET YOU!!!! I grew up dirt poor too and always dreamed of having nice things, and always felt like the rich kids looked down on me. Every time I buy myself something super special (my watch, my VCA bracelets, my Cartier bracelets) it has special meaning to me because i did it myself, no help from anyone.

Its absolutely gorgeous on you, and i am so so so happy for you!!
 
It's gorgeous! So happy you were able to make this dream come true.
 
What a great story! The ring is beautiful and even more beautiful in what it represents now. Congratulations!
 
Wishing you much joy wearing her! Congratulations!
 
Gorgeous on you and love the symbolism! Kudos!
 
What a beautiful ring and a lovely story. If anything was ever meant to be, this ring was meant to be yours!
 
I love the ring and I love the story behind it. Enjoy her in good health!
 
What an incredible and lucky find! I, too, love Tiffany and understand longing for a piece that is no longer made, especially in the right size. Congratulations! I am sure you will enjoy it for many years.
 
Gorgeous! Enjoy that beauty!
