Any going-to-be-married woman (ugh, a future participle in Latin would be so much more efficient: sponsura) with a sparkly engagement ring is excited to show it off! I've been sad that so many of my friends and family live far away. Somehow, cell phone pictures and my laptop's webcam can't capture it properly!
Fortunately, the lovely local jewelers who made the ring liked it so much that they took professional pictures of it (for their website). And when D. and I stopped by yesterday for a ring tune-up, they agreed to share some photos with us. Thank you, Abracadabra Jewelry! Without further ado:
D. did such a great job designing it! I had said that I wanted a ring with "some movement," and the four-prong twist setting gives just the right amount of elegant fluidity to a classic solitaire. And after yesterday's cleaning, my ring is just as shiny as ever! It had lost a bit of its sparkle last week, after I had used it to stab a falling banana.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful ring and nice photos!
ReplyDeleteAbracadabra jewelers? How perfect--no wonder Dave went to them! ;)
ReplyDeleteDid Katie tell you I had a magic trick prepared for the proposal to make the ring appear out of thin air? In the end, it was too complicated to coordinate with the playing of the bells!

This one really made me laugh--
2. Arigata-meiwaku (Japanese): An act someone does for you that you didn’t want to have them do and tried to avoid having them do, but they went ahead anyway, determined to do you a favor, and then things went wrong and caused you a lot of trouble, yet in the end social conventions required you to express gratitude
love it!! languages are the best.
DeleteJulie... that Japanese phrase is great!!
