Rick has never worn a wedding ring. He's not a fan of jewelry of any kind. He says he's always known he's married because his wallet has very little $.

I would have liked him to wear a ring, but as long as he not wearing any ring at all, I'm OK with it.

During my time working for USS wearing a ring was a 'cardinal sin' and you would be fired instantly.

I really hope it is onsite so I can watch but my suspicion it is subcontracted out and is remote.
The toys they have are just so cool.
Then it is just a budgetary conversation.
While it was a wonderful little fantasy to engage in, it doesn't look like spec'ing custom jewelry is going to be happening.

While I am not one to wear flashy jewelry, I have always worn a wrist watch and wedding.ring. Since the 80’s, I have always wanted a Breitling watch, so on our 15th anniversary cruise, while in Curaçao, I splurged and bought one, which I love. After getting home, I decided to replace the gold/silver wedding ring that I bought on a whim at a jewelry store in Philadelphia, and, honestly hated. So, I visited a local jewelry store and ordered one that matched my watch. I couldn’t be more pleased!

Very classy, both of them. I wear a watch but quit wearing rings. I never go out now days. I did get in a 30 mile ride today and that's why I'm typing this while I'm in my spa.

Does that mean she's getting two rings with diamonds and sapphires?

affirmative.
she had picked one similar to the last ring but it was gone since she doesn't take a size 4
The top ring is my selection with a Internally flawless 1.3 carat stone.
Not too flashy but I doubt she'll go out digging in the dirt with it either.

Now i'm on the hunt for some nice sapphire earrings and maybe a necklace.
I like ensembles.
I like these two but while looking my wallet snapped shut tighter than a clam.

or actually negative.
dealing with trying to sort out the shipping/billing address BS between the bank and the retailer got too frustrating.
then I started dealing with cognitive dissonance, would Barb like it and so forth.
In the interim she pulled out her original engagement ring and wants the setting restored and resized.
She also explained that the ring picture she had sent a while back she really liked the rectangular emerald cut, sapphire shape.
blink, blink, the retailer cancelled the order.
I explained the situation to my beloved because I was so frustrated. I showed her what I had picked out.
She looked at the top ring and was like "thank god somebody was looking out for me."

my balloon has been deflated, so much for showering her with diamonds and gold.
