When I bought her engagement ring, I did so without her involvement. Hell, if the whole thing was going to be a surprise, I didn't exactly feel like the right way to go about it involved her telling me what it should look like. Caroline has always been more than happy with her engagement ring, but in the various discussions about an eternity ring (ahh the joys of shared finances) it had been decided that this time she would need to be involved. After all, it would have to fit with the rest of the bling.
Since being in Canada, we've heard a lot about Polar Bear diamonds and had discussed the fact that it would be a good part of an eternity ring and something special to take back home.
Well, events conspired in a number of ways and the jeweller that we had in mind had a closing down sale. We went in to see what they could do for us 2 days ago simply because of the sale and an hour later a plan had been not only hatched, but executed as well. It came down to the fact that they could put together a ring symbolising past, present and future, incorporating the diamond from Caroline's engagement ring along with a matching diamond sitting either side of a polar bear diamond. When the owner of the store said to us, "I suppose you would like it for Christmas?" we were done. We hadn't even considered the possibility of having something back in 2 days.
Sure enough though, we went in today and there it was, sparkling magnificently and ready for Christmas. We took it away and I wrapped it up, but given that it isn't really a Christmas present, more of a good God look how much i love you present, i only left it wrapped under the tree until just before mass.
Rather than describe just how lovely it is, I thought it easier to post this instead:
