oo, and i also have another Q, which i really need your opinion on.
At wedding fayre, there were loads of jewlery people, and i tried on loads of bands and couldnt find one that sat nice or flush against my engagment ring, one bloke even spent 45 mins with me trying to find one, just couldnt find a nice one..
then, after WF, wife and I strolled down to beach front to take a visit to this adorable little shop that only opens on sundays, run by a retired couple who sell antique jewlery, handmade bespoke bags and other various fine china etc. just popped in to show her the shop as she hadnt seen it before and there is somthing very magical about this place, as its all so different and run from the basement of thier house! its like aladins cave, youv never seen anything like it.
anyways, i found the ring. As soon as i saw it, i knew i liked it... it was in my size and 18ct white gold like my engagment ring. When i tried it on, i fell in love. I couldnt believe after all the hassle id cause the blokey at wedding fayre, id manage to stumble across my ring.. just like that. It sits so beautifully next to my ring, and i adore it.
and to make it even better, because this shop is so secret, and everything is either antique or one off made, but the owners dont do it for profit, all the rings are more than half the price of what would be sold in a big chain like goldsmiths, clive ranger etc.
this ring, is only 299.. 269 if we pay cash. its an 18ct white gold band with a line of diamonds, running along the centre, its bizare but the line of diamonds isnt straight, it slants around the band, its odd.. but its so cute. I just love it.
Now. iv put it on hold, and owners say i can £30 deposit, then pay it off over 6 months, as OH's rents live local. BUT A) i know we cant really afford anything we dont need right this minute right now.. and B) Oh thinks its rediculous to buy a band when were not getting married for another few years, which is totally understandable..
but i am so fussy, and i really really love that ring. I asked him if there was any way to track the same ring down in a few years time, but he says they are all one offs and once there gone, they'r gone. He says they may have somthing simalar, but no two are alike.
Im in a pickle. Should i just buy it, (i know we have half that in the wedding pot in cash already) and give it to OH's parents to look after untill big day.. OR do i make the sensible descion of using the money to get us out of the financial trouble were in now, but run the risk of finding it incredibly difficult to find the same or simalar ring i like as much, for that kind of price.
???
Why can't I stick with it for more than a week at a time at the moment?
