I can't believe it! I always read other girls posts about how they lost a diamond, FI/DH lost ring, etc. and although I sympathised with them, I always thought, 'That will never happen to me!'
Well, it did today! I'm having a really bad day (see dog post too) and it just doesn;t stop!
I went food shopping today and on the way back I caught a glimps of my ring sparkling in the sun. I looked at it (my DH cleaned it yesterday for me) and admired how pretty it was. When I got home, I went to open up the shades in the living room and my hand knocked against the wall, but not to hard. THat's when I saw something fly to the floor, but I thought it was part of the spackle we just had done. Then I noticed a big gaping hole in my ring and saw that a diamond came loose! I am sick to my stomach. I looked everywhere with the help of my neighbors. Nothing!
When my DH got home, all he said was 'oh well, we'll just get another one!' Yes, I understand that we can (FIL is a jewler so the $ and hastle of it is no problem) but it is so sentimental to me! My DH had gone into the city with my FIL and hand selected each diamond. It's a princess cut diamond and was invisible set into the side. There are 10 princess cut diamonds on each side of my center stone. I can't wear it (not that I want to right now) b/c my other diamonds might also fall out since it is invisible set and there's not much holding it in place.
