the ruby ring is something I would love to gift my gf
This diamond and sapphire ring was given to my mother from my father when they were married, about 30 years ago. She had lost a couple of the stones along the way, so stopped wearing it. The first mother's day after I started working at 16 I snuck the ring out of her room and took it to the jeweler for the repairs and cleaning. Cost me a little more than I expected, but she was so happy, I would have spent triple! Like three years ago she passed this beauty on to me. It always lets me see that love that existed (although now different) between the two souls that created me. Best gift ever!
