New Ring

[poliphilo]

We took Ailz's engagement ring in to be taken down a size and the silversmith (who made it) said she didn't dare touch it because the silver was worn so thin she was afraid it would fall to pieces.

So we've retired it and bought another.

The old ring is set with an alexanderite- a man-made stone that changes with the light from a reddish purple to a steely blue.

The new ring is set with a deep purple amethyst.

I guess one can't really get engaged again, but, hey....

I love you, Ailz.

It's very romantic that the abstract entity of your love for each other has lasted longer than the concrete symbol of it. Very Archimedes' ship.

And Ailz clearly has excellent taste in both stones and settings. Purple in silver can't be beat, in my view.

Ailz loves purple. I just like colour- any colour. And we both insist on silver.
