I’ve been eagerly anticipating this purchase for two weeks now!
When I was at the jeweller’s picking up my new emerald ring, I was impressed with his work and swift turnaround. So I commissioned him to remount my existing sapphire which was currently set on a thick plain sterling silver band.
I was so looking forward to picking it up last week after a hard week at work, but unfortunately he couldn’t replicate his speed with this piece, and advised me that it would only be ready the following week. Although I was disappointed, I guess I knew that anticipation would only make things sweeter. It truly was!

On top of everything else, the ring has extra-special significance to me. My father died suddenly in December last year, and he was the one who bought me the sapphire when I was 18. I hadn’t worn the ring in years, but it took this eminently sad situation for me to commission a piece that will keep my father close to me at all times and a beautiful memory of the amazing person he was.
Thanks for letting me share.
