To Tiger Town for Ring Shopping (Gerrit) (Archive)

Super excited about actually having something of significance to blog about this time! Erin and I went earlier today (actually I guess it was yesterday now... technically speaking) to Tiger Town to visit Ware's Jewelers. I know that a lot of people would scoff at me not wanting to surprise her with the ring... but I wanted to go to look for several things in particular:

- What size she'd feel most comfortable in
- What size diamonds and ring styles looked best on her
- Something she's going to enjoy wearing for forever

We certainly succeeded in finding a ring that not only fit all of the above, but also was almost exactly the same as a ring that Erin had been looking at on the Apollo Diamonds website. If you don't already know about Apollo Diamonds, you should definitely check out their site. Their process for creating "synthetic" diamonds is quite amazing... and the result is a diamond that is chemically identical to a "real" diamond, yet it comes with none of the conflict, corruption, or environmental destruction that mining diamonds brings.

Anyway... I'm very very excited about taking this one step closer...
