I wear my grandmother's engagement ring. I love it all the more for the fact that it came from my mom.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
She was spending $60-$90k on each one
WHUT? I hope you mock her as much as you mock poor unsuspecting people wearing reindeer socks.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have a plain yellow gold band, which we got the day we decided to elope. That was good enough for me, and then DH (some of you may recall) gave me a ring like this for Christmas last year [link]
It's white gold and doesn't match the band, but he's colorblind and didn't know, so I wear them together in all their mismatched glory. I don'tlove diamonds, but when I look at the ring I see him all eager and excited about getting me fancy jewelry and that makes me love the ring.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I don't remember how much my engagement ring cost. It's sterling silver, and the star ruby is in a setting of sculpted bones, ivy leaves, and a skull.

I can't think of any piece of jewelry I'd spend that much money on. Not unless it came with guaranteed magic powers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She spent three times as much one one finger as I did on my car. There were eyerolls and words of incomprehension. Nothing that small and inanimate is that pretty.
Chipotle line is long.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Not unless it came with guaranteed magic powers.
Yup. And even then only if one of the powers was "turn junk mail into gold."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
And I just got an email about sponsoring children in Ethiopia so they can stay with their families and not come to the orphanage my agnecy runs (this is what they try to do with any family that is bringing a child in for solely economic reasons- not health, danger, or abandonment) and I can't reconcile the numbers.
