Well that was time consuming! We were at the jewelers about 4 hours. They had to cut off my rings since I wore a 4-1/2 ring size when I got married. That was a hundred pounds ago. They said it will be a few weeks before the finger smooths out and they can resize my rings. So I have time to consider what to get for a replacement. Finger looks pretty warped right now.
He was thrilled when I suggested it to him, and obviously he is able to get her a much nicer ring with the diamond donated. Knowing her as well as I do I am quite confident she will be over the moon about having my diamond.
Long story on me getting my set in the first place involving me doing the computer work for a jeweler. It was a trade in from an antique a lady brought in while I was working there. The jeweler today said he could tell about how long ago it was by the cutting technology. At least over 70 years ago. He'll get it Monday.
Yes I am blabbering because I am all emotional. eta: I thought it was super cute that I had to go with him to pick out her setting.
