The New Ring

I LOVED my ring. It was my dream ring. I loved everything about it. The unique design, the shape of the stone, everything. Well maybe not everything. I began to notice that my center stone was looking really foggy all of a sudden. So, I would take it in to get cleaned pretty frequently and I kept being told that it was just dirty and cleaning would fix it but it kept happening. Colin knows the manager at another Kay's and when wewent to get it cleared there last time he actually noticed something wrong with the stone. We had all intention of going in to Kay's today and getting the same exact style, just a new ring that maybe wouldn't have any issues that mine did. Of course, my two options were either a clearer stone that was half the size of mine or one that was even worse than mine. I of course did not want to do that. In the end we chose to get the ring that Colin was actually going to get until for some reason he chose not to. Funny thing is, he actually likes this one more. Anyway, basically we got a new ring that shouldn't have any issues and even got my wedding band for free because of all the issues. I think in the end things will work out better this way so that way I'm not constantly worrying about it or having to take it in to soak in their cleaner for 30 minutes. It was so difficult giving them my ring that Colin proposed with but like his mom said, I would rather have a different ringthat wasn't defective than my original ring that was. So that's the store on the new ring. I miss mine but am glad things got figured out and I do love my new one :)
