Ruby and Diamonds
Image via Wikipedia
Yesterday I went to an antique fair with the intention of just looking. It’s fun to look at antiques – it gives you a chance to reminisce about old times and to ponder things you have never seen before.
But the first stall I came to had brightly lite trays of ‘eye candy’ for girls – rings of course. And the middle one caught my eye, a sparkling ruby and diamond ring. I had to try it on – a perfect fit mind you! The gentlemen explained that it was indeed an old ring and the rubies and diamonds had been verified.
It was gorgeous but I was just looking so I left it there… but I do hope my husband goes back and buys it for my birthday!
