Another piece from my jewellery collection! This is not my engagement ring, even though the picture might make it look that way. When I wear this one it's usually on my right hand, but it was easier to photograph like this.
This ring is about a hundred years old. It has a thin gold band with a platinum illusion setting and three small diamonds. Chris found it being sold as scrap and bought it (for a relative pittance, apparently) when he was in the process of having my engagement ring made, thinking to have one of the old stones from it reused. It was sort of a Plan B and then Plan A worked out after all, so he didn't end up using it and it sat tucked away, hidden in his dresser for a few years. Eventually he gave it to me ("if I wanted it"), pretty much because he didn't know what to do with an old diamond ring other than give it to his wife.
It's funny, because it's something I just sort of ended up with, but it definitely has history and I've developed an attachment to it. I actually really missed it when I couldn't get to it for a long time in 2020/2021.
