Band of Gold


I hope this isn't a bad omen. My wedding ring BROKE! At first, it looked like a hairline crack, but I was shocked to discover that one of the bands is broken clear through, right next to the spot where the three bands are welded together. It's only 15 years old, so I must be hard on it. My jeweler did tell me about a year ago that the crown would have to be replaced sometime in the near future, but she didn't mention anything about the bands being weak.

Since I don't wear gold anymore, Brad and I have been talking for a couple of years about getting a new setting for my stone. We've been putting it off because I'd like to get platinum, which would be quite expensive. Maybe we'll have to think about doing it sooner than planned...

Michele, Sorry your ring broke, though you'll surely enjoy designing your own new one! It's interesting because I don't really wear gold anymore either; Jesse and I have been talking about selling our wedding rings and switching to some type of titanium bands. Perhaps with no stones for me anymore; maybe onyx. Odd, isn't it, that I read your blog often and never comment until now? Jodi Thom
