Rings!!!

Gold rings! Wedding rings! Susan had an interesting engagement ring which got beat up and repaired periodically. Mostly we wore simple wedding bands. So I asked Susan if she wanted a proper diamond ring that will not have to survive classroom teaching or child raising. No, she suggests we get new matching wedding bands. (Better than some of her ideas which included matching tattoos.)

And old Perry Como song, about the joys  a wedding ring can bring:https://tinyurl.com/ya2bbmmt
(Yes, we are old enough to remember this era and this song.)

We visit the mall and chain stores and they have few choices. Then we go to a several real jewelers and there are a not many more choices except they can custom make anything we are interested in and they have catalogs we look at for samples. Internet to the rescue, Susan finds a place with a shop in LA & SF called Brilliant Earth and they have a large custom ring selection. Even with all these choices we find only two or three that we like and are mostly taken by one called ‘Polish Vine’. We make an appointment with the jeweler on the west side of LA and go hoping to see a sample. They have none but recognize the Polish Vine design. Evidently it was a custom one off they did for a customer and show a copy in their catalog, but yes, they can make them for us as well but as custom work we have to pay up front and cannot return the rings. 

Here is how the design looks:

We wait several weeks for delivery, finally they come. Beautiful, just what we wanted. 

Here is how they look on us:

Inside my ring is engraved “One Heart” and in Susan’s is  “One Love”. Where did that come from?
