Sparkles.....

It's big and has lots of diamonds, one big yellow sapphire and looks just amazing on my finger! Yep! I have to say Dwayne has done it again. We have matching 20th anniversary rings... well they match in that they are both amazingly beautiful and both are yellow sapphires... :) His is just a bit bigger than mine but his hands are bigger too. ;)


We had a great night. We went to eat at a local rest. here in Opelika, AL called Jimmy's - Yummy food and the desserts were Oh MY~ amazing. Dwayne pulled from his pockets the rings and I just about fell out of my seat.

GIRLS~ you will just be amazed! He did REAL GOOD!


Today I wore it and I was like, this thing is HUGE- Truly, it looks like we have money but nothing could be farther from the truth! ;) We just met this amazing lady in Chiang Mai and she did some small pieces for me just before I left at the end of the summer. She worked with Dwayne's budget and off she went to a gem show in Pattaya and bought these 2 amazing stones for well, near to nothing. She's a gem of a friend! :) hee hee truly!


I can't wait to show it to you. I have pictures and will post them soon.


I know this comes across a boasting and well, it is! I'm very proud of having spent the last 20 years with Dwayne and this ring could never even begin to represent the amazing life I have had with Dwayne but it will be small reminder of what marriage can be if 2 people work hard and dedicate themselves to the other... Okay that sounds really shallow- but those who know me :) know how much I have grown to love jewelry and in some ways I could truly make a sermon on the similarities between jewelry and marriages.. both take lots of time and effort. Finding the right stone, the right style , the right workmanship... should I go on? well anyway you get the point! ;)


We were kind of laughing because I was like, Honey! what will my 50th be like? HE just laughed! :) I guess I've reached the


Well, I think we have reached the highest point in the gem arena- now it's time to head off to new things!



Paris on my 25th sure would be nice!
