You would not BELIEVE how hard it is to find a decent yellow gold engagement ring in this city!

I don't understand this fad of white gold ones right now. I think white gold washes out the diamond(s). This one was my second choice, but still quite lovely. That's a little sapphire you see, which happens to be D's birthstone. Now I have to figure out how to get him something with a garnet :P The ring is nearly a size too big, so I will have to

Congratulations on getting engaged! Have you got an idea of when you'll get married?

[the_arachne]

Possibly next spring. We want to save some money for the wedding, so a later date is better. I'll do my best to prevent our having the same anniversary ;)

thanks! you can see it up close next time we get together.

On a more mundane note, I have some laundry detergent to give you that I keep forgetting about.

Not a surprise to anyone, but exciting nonetheless :)

I was gonna say "try birks!" That's what we did. Good service and quality - though we paid more than online for sure.

*points to the "Birks" on the side of the blue box* Even Birks is rampant with white gold, alas. This is the earlier incarnation of the Birks Blue engagement ring; the new generation has a sapphire on both sides and comes only in -you guessed it!- white gold. The ring is in for re-sizing at the moment; I should be picking it up Friday.
