Having nice things
I'm still giddy about the ring, and it's occured to me why: I've never had any jewelry worth more than maybe $200. I've never owned a diamond, nor anything in platinum. Seeing the sparkle makes me feel like a little kid again, looking at my mom's modest 1/4 ct ring in the sunlight.
A lot of the elements of the ring that I chose are related to my concept of how things should be from when I was a small child. My diamond is a little bigger (.57 instead of .25), but it's the same setting, and the same look as my mom's white gold one. Simple, understated and elegant.
