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.

Amethysts are my favorite stones. I've developed an allergy to metals though (all metals, cheap or expensive) so can't wear rings or earrings or even bracelets for more than an hour without getting itchy red welts, so all of my beautiful rings go unworn. I'd sell them, but I still hold out hope that one day I will be able to wear them...

Congrats on your re-engagement. I don't see why you can't get engaged again to the same person. It's lovely.

That's a terrible shame about the allergy

Ailz is allergic to most metals, but she can get away with silver.
