Sparkly things

Lucy is getting married. Next year.

It was a secret for a little while but now it is all out in the open.

She wasn't going to have an engagement ring originally, but her fiancé has convinced her to get one, so for the last few evenings, everything has all been a bit . . . . sparkly. Trying to decide what to go for.

White gold, yellow gold, rose gold, platinum, titanium . . . .

Claw set, bevel set, rubover, tension set, trilogy, solitaire, cabachon, princess cut, baguette cut, brilliant cut, emerald cut, pear cut, heart cut, marquise cut . . . .

Diamonds, pink sapphires, amethyst, amber, aquamarine, pearl, champagne diamonds, peridot . . .

Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Contemporary, Classic, Unusual . . . .

The good thing is that from looking at all these rings, even though Lucy is still completely undecided, I now know what sort of engagement ring I want! Shame there isn't anyone around to give me one at the moment.

By the way, it's tanzanite and diamond set in white gold.

Something like this.


If you insist.



PS. Before you start thinking that I am a bit premature, I am a Libran. It is practically in the job description to go completely gaga over anything twinkly.
