Yeah, fuck diamonds... I've expressed how I feel about them. But at least I don't have to go overboard on the diamond, I've been trying to find a good deal.

My wife asked me to marry her. Made ring shopping a little easier. We went with a vintage wedding/engagement set for her and had a local jeweler make my ring based on the scroll design from hers.

Oh would that be sad if that was just a case :fp:

I'm in almost a similar situation where I'm waiting to get a '65 AVRI JM in Olympic White, but it's on layaway at the music store I work at. Waiting for my first offset is killing me :?

The part number on the shipping label gives it away, but I think you knew all along what you were getting
