It was a pleasure to read!
I was married two years ago, and we did go into the store to look at the Lucida just before what would have been our 10th wedding anniversary... had my now-ex husband not cheated and filed for a divorce two months before that anniversary...
The Lucida was supposed to be my ring upgrade from the <.25 carat promise ring my then-husband had given me in college; he was a poor student when he proposed, and never could afford to upgrade before then. He wanted to upgrade in 2010 as a 10th anniversary gift and combination "push present" following the birth of our son a couple of months before. While I LOVED the 1ct Lucida, I know it was out of budget, and my ex said that the .5ct ring would have to do... I was happy with that, just because of the Tiffany name!!
....sadly, it never happened. He met someone at the office (over 40, married with two teenage children, no longer in love with her own husband, typical cougar-type) and she stole him away. He filed for divorce when she promised they would live "happily-ever-after", they dated for two years, and she dumped him a couple of months ago when she got bored...
Of course, this was BEFORE Tiffany introduced the Harmony!When I find "the one" this time around, I'm sure we'll look at both styles and decide at that time which one will be "our" happily-ever-after ring!
Oh sweetie thats so sad, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I can't imagine how much that must've hurt. Keeping your story in mind then I'd say stay away from the Lucida and go with the Harmony when you meet your Mr Right. Sending you big big hugs
