I just got it back from the jeweler and he cleaned it up and it looked so pretty I had to share. Actually, he could never have afforded this ring when we got married. I wore a plain gold band and a simple engagement ring that he had set with a 1 karat old fashioned cut diamond his mother gave him. At 25 years the band of the engagement ring had worn thru and we decided to use the gold and gems, have the diamond recut and a jeweler friend created this custom ring which was then blessed by the church. I've only worn it for 34 years. ~~judi Feb 19, 2023 #22 mardi gras mask pulled from box in back closet Shrove Tuesday party ~~jvg 1 Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love chili with beans and I like spicy and hot, but I hear Texans really crank up the heat.
