When Mark proposed on Thanksgiving day, he did so with a lovely ruby, unset, in a heart-shaped box.
He bought it from this amazing jeweler here on the island, and we will have both our wedding rings made there.
I love rubies, and this one is truly gorgeous.
But, as the wedding is very likely nearly a year off…he said, We ought to get you something to wear until then.
And who could argue with that?
So off we went to the jeweler this afternoon, and found this very adorable blue topaz ring.
It goes with Mark’s eyes. 🙂
It’s different, in different lights; the photos here look almost dark blue, but as I look at it on my finger now, it’s a very light blue, edging on turquoise. Just gorgeous.
In other news, it is VERY VERY COLD here. And going to get colder. And it’s supposed to snow on Sunday. Let the adventure begin!
