Timelies all!

My engagement ring is a diamond ring. When G was starting to look for rings I told him diamonds weren't necessary (I'm part magpie, so anything shiny would work :) ) but he wanted to be "traditional".

I know, I know, but what can you do? (It is a pretty ring)

Very pro cabuchon rings. Any not-poky setting and I'm happy.

I like the inset stones, also. I have some very pretty rings that I just can't wear because they caught on too many damn things.

The sun is sliding below the horizon. The warmth I was basking in lizard-like is gone. I am so glad I conned my sister out of this kikoy when we were in Kenya. Normally I don't combine colours much, but despite this having bright green and yellow on a black background it goes with a great deal of what I have, including (I swear) today's purple top. I keep this one in the car for days like this one, where I didn't figure it cold enough for a jacket (but I probably should have).

This [link] is my hematite ring. We originally gave it to my grandmother, purchased somewhere in NM. When she died, it came back to me.

Man, I gotta remember to shut down my work IM. I'm sorry you had a rough commute home, but I really don't want to hear about it right now.

I love that ring, sarameg.

Thanks! Hard to tell in the picture, but the stone is faceted, and usually looks darker than in that shot.

I don't want to go into reality because I am not gonna see SYTYCD until later, but I am watching The Biggest Loser finale and again I think some people, or at least one has lost too much weight.

That's really pretty. My hematite ring was made entirely of hematite, and was therefore not long for this world. The two rings I ever wear these days--one's a big cabochon garnet in an antiqued silver braid, and the other is a big silver X. I fidget for them sometimes when they're not on, but I never wear them around the house, and I take them off to wash my hands or put on lotion, so there are so many opportunities to lose them.
