This story is bittersweet. A few weeks ago I was at a college football game and every once in a while when I use certain soap, my skin gets irritated which happened that day. I took all of my rings off (which I never do) and put them in my jacket pocket. When I got home, I noticed only my engagement ring was missing (still don’t understand how that’s possible). It must have fallen out of my jacket. I immediately went back to the car and tore it apart looking for the ring because there is no way it fell out at the game. Well it was no where to be found. My hubby, the good man that he is, went back to the stadium with a metal detector in the pouring rain and spent over 2 hours looking for the ring. Unfortunately, he didn’t find it and I was, of course, devastated. Well fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and we spent a few days in NYC. We were getting ready to go out and I turn around to find him on 1 knee with a ring in his hand. He went out and had a new ring made for me. I was completely shocked and also completely happy. I’m not sure if it’s something I would’ve picked out myself but I absolutely love the touch of sapphires. He also took the courtesy of upgrading the center stone from 1 carat to 1.5 carats. I miss my old ring but this just makes the pain of losing it a little easier. I wish I could figure out how to take photos to capture the complete beauty of the ring.

Loved looking through this thread again and seeing all the beautiful, different rings

bittersweet is right - heartbroken to lose your beautiful ring, but delightful of your DH to do something so special to make up for it.
Both rings were beautiful - thanks for you story.

I appreciate you all taking the time to read my story and you're right; it is still painful sometimes to think about my old ring but this beauty has made the loss a little easier.

Thank you so much all!! The sapphires really do set it apart and I'm falling more and more in love with it every day. Now I need another eternity band with sapphires in it. I'm wondering if my DH will agree. :graucho:
