It came in time for Valentine’s Day, just as Nigel, our friend who is making the ring, wanted. Suw is traveling today so I placed the stones in the ring and took this picture so that Suw could get a look. She will suggest a few changes, but she was really happy to see the ring with the stones in.
A friend of mine was cross with me that Suw was actually choosing her own ring. Hey, we’re a user-generated content kind of couple so why not crowdsource her ring?
I’m really happy that a friend is making the ring, and that we’re getting a say in how it looks. It’s based on Suw’s great-grandmother’s ring. That one is so worn that the metal is just a thread on one side. I love the citrine’s. They will go so well with the amber that Suw loves so much. This is only a silver model. After we’re happy with it, Nigel will cast it in white gold. Exciting!

“A friend of mine was cross with me that Suw was actually choosing her own ring.”
From what my friends have done, usually the couple goes ring shopping before the guy proposes. It is safer for the guy since he knows that she is really into him. Further, he has an excellent idea of what she wants.

Thanks for backing me up on this one Steve. I figure she’s gotta wear it ’til death do us part so hopefully she likes it.
