Aug. 21st, 2004 07:44 pmSo the ring is broken again. My finger feels really naked without a ring on, since I've been wearing that one for two years now, so I dug an old crappy one out of my jewelry box and am wearing it for now.
Does anyone know how much it might cost to have a jeweler put the stone back in and fix it so it won't fall out again? It's a tension mount, no prongs, sterling silver band and CZ. Whole ring cost under $15 and I'd probably be willing to get it fixed were it $25 or less... if it's more than that, I'll have to say to hell with the sentimental value and just get a new engagement ring.
See, it's stuff like this that's why I don't want a diamond ring. I'll just wear the CZ until we get married, and then switch to a plain band with no stone. Can you even imagine if I lost a diamond? Any one we could afford would be so tiny I'd never find it again (the stone in my current ring is 6mm across at the widest point, so very visible).
