So, I'm getting it re-set with a local jeweler, and I'm super happy with how it's going to look. Finally.
Yay! It's something you wear all the time (except when you don't), so hell yeah it should look how you want it to look!
September is our 10-year wedding anniversary (HOW. I mean, WTF, HOW.), and I'm thinking about adding stones to my engagement ring, which is a sapphire solitaire. I love the look of diamonds and sapphires and would like to get a smaller stone on both sides of the sapphire, but I have serious issues with the ethics of the diamond industry. So the new stones will have to be moissanite or lab-grown diamonds, which I am totally fine with.
In crazy weather news, the upper part of the canyon where we live got dusted with snow this morning.
ND, that seems like a sign of the apocalypse. Rain of toads, fire in the sky, snow in LA.

I love that look/combo, too, yes. Ten years, though? When did that happen?
Thank you for the update, Epic. There's a lot ahead, of course, but/and the fact that they think they can get everything is really heartening to hear. Sending all the get it scheduled, smooth operation and recovery and adjustment ~ma your way.
Epic, that's a lot coming up. I'm so glad to hear that they have a plan. Lots of ~ma headed your way.
All my love & ~ma, Epic.

If your jeweler will let you source your own stones vs. insisting you order from them, Ritani tends to have the best lab-grown diamond prices. What size (in mm) are you thinking for side stones, and what shape? (I would go with lab diamond over moissanite, though I do love moissanite for flashy flashy magpie bling. Lab diamond's just a nicer accent stone.)
EpicTangent, thanks for the update. I'm glad to read that you are making progress with the plan. I hope experience and preparation makes the recovery easier. Onwards!
