Hi all,
We thought you would like to see some pics of the engagement ring! Again, a bit of a whirlwind as we didn't plan to get it so soon, but just before my birthday we decided to have a 'browse' for rings at a Jeweller in Wellington called the Village Goldsmith and only went and bought one! We looked at lots and then sat down with the designer (who was the owner) and he takes your ideas to draw and then make it from scratch. We thought this would be quite a long process and were quite thankful as hadn't worked out how to pay for it but to our surprise it was ready within a few weeks. The best bit (or most worrying) is we don't actually own it! They do an option here that if you are leaving the country even for a weekend you can purchase tax free which as you can imagine was quite appealing as the tax back just about covers the cost of a holiday! So basically, we hand the ring back 2 days before going on a flight, they clean it and send it to the airport where you pick it back up before going through departures. All sounds quite straight forward and by that time we will have saved enough to pay for it!
Anyway, we wanted you to see the ring and hope you like it! I think its really beautiful, exactly as I had imagined when describing my ideas to the Jeweller.
I love it!

It's brilliant - must all feel a bit more 'official' now! ]:)
ReplyDeleteSo when are you going on a flight, so you can properly 'own' it?
The ring is absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to see it "in situ" as it were. Hope you guys are having an amazing time still. Sorry I haven't been commenting on the blog, but me and my Mum are avid fans - I swear. I've got an RSS feed so that it gets delivered direct to my inbox otherwise I would have been a regular visitor to the page.

cheers guys - glad you like it - we are planning a flight to the cook islands in september so should be making the purchase then! Scary but Mr. Visa will be taking the brunt I am afraid.
