The saga of Goth Girl's engagement ring
One or two people have picked up on the fact that I only gave Goth Girl a sketch of her engagement ring, rather than the ring itself.
The ring is being made by the very wonderful Amanda Reddy of RedJewel (see the link to the right) and the fact that it is not ready is nothing to do with her and everything to do with me. Having gone to the trouble of raiding Goth Girl's jewellery case, getting her to try rings on (without explaining why) and even drawing around two of the rings to get the right size, I then took Goth Girl for a browse in a jewellers' window. The conversation went something like this:
ME: (pointing at a similar but not as nice ring) So, if we were to ever get engaged, you would want something like that one?
GG: Yes, but not in yellow gold. Platinum or even white gold.
No prizes for guessing which material I had commissioned Amanda to make the ring in.
Anyway, we are about 7 weeks from having the ring ready. Amanda was the only one who knew I intended to propose in Paris and she came up with the sketch and the wonderful packaging it was in. In short, if you are looking for something wonderfully individual at a very reasonable price, please get in touch with her, you will not regret it.
I'd love to be able to show you the sketch, but for some ridiculous reason this site doesn't support .pdf files, so I can't. Sorry.
