The story of our rings

Please allow me to be a little self-indulgent here. I want to share the story of how BKDM and I picked out our rings.
In a time-honored tradition, we went to The Jeweler's Building in Boston's Downtown Crossing area.
There, we found a jewelry show room that is family owned and creates baubles to your very specifications called Hefez and Sons.
The man who helped us was a genius and figured out exactly what we wanted with only a few questions.
They will mount the diamond my father gave to my mother when they were engaged 55+ years ago. The picture above is a sample of the setting. It will look a little different with the Wood family stone in it.
We also picked BKDM's ring -- a large, weighty, platinum jobby. It fits him well.... so well that I don't think he'll ever be able to take it off, but that suits me just fine.
So, in 10 days, we'll be on step closer to getting married.
