Are diamonds a girl's best friend???

I’m not your typical female in that I’m not much into jewelry. In fact, I don’t wear any at all, not even my wedding ring. It just all feels too restricting to me. I remember getting my ears pierced when I was 13 because I wanted to be like the other girls. But then I realized I didn’t really want to be like them, at least not in that respect. Remarkably, the holes in my ear are still there despite not being used to their full extent.

Why then, do you ask, would someone like me go in search of a diamond engagement ring? Short answer: It was my midday escapade for yesterday. Deeper answer: I’ve secretly wondered what it would be like to possess my own beautiful, sparkly, and ridiculously pricey rock.

In case you're wondering, Mr. Escapades did give me an engagement ring when he proposed so many years ago – it wasn’t a very large ring, but he worked hard to buy it, and I treasure him for it. So, I don’t complain and I would NEVER ask him for another ring.

I was worried that this little escapade would make me want to ask him, however, thankfully, it did not. I have to admit though, I did enjoy oohing and aahing over all the glamorous rings. It was a hard choice, but this one is my favorite.
