We decided to bury my Mother with her rings and gold chain, and I have regretted that decision. She never wanted to be parted from them, and it seemed the best thing at the time. Not so sure now! It would have been lovely for my Sister and I to have them really. I'm so pleased you found the stone and had the ring repaired.

Did you hear my sigh of relief when I got to the end?<BR/><BR/>This reminds me of a similar experience that didn't have such a happy ending. My husband lost his wedding band less than seven months after we got married. It was never found and I was heartbroken. We ended up having a new band made using the gold from parts of my wedding band and my engagement ring, with all three rings using some new gold to complete them. Expensive, but at least some of the gold in his new ring actually attended our wedding!<BR/><BR/>ps - I think the light was your mother showing you the way...Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340061182737906221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-71434119456580937112008-04-03T00:25:00.000+01:002008-04-03T00:25:00.000+01:00I'm so glad you found it!

I lost the diamond from my original engagement ring, but the site was a bit more rugged - the floor of our redwood forest, covered with needles and leaves of various underbrush. And I never found it, although I walked many times back and forth over the paths I had taken before missing it.Granny Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214748856516412924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-6430165259557116922008-04-02T22:14:00.000+01:002008-04-02T22:14:00.000+01:00crazy cath........... thanks for your kind comment...crazy cath........... thanks for your kind comments. it would have been a reminder if I'd have lost the stone.<BR/><BR/>Jan ......

We bought a house a few years back and the neighbors all had a story to tell us of how before she died, the woman lost her diamond somewhere out in the yard (apparently it was quite a massive diamond). My husband asked me what I would do if I found it and I didn't even hesitate, "Well, I'd get it to her daughter of course". Has nothing to do with the monetary value, does it?

She was getting into a car (she thinks) and drove at least twenty miles before realising she'd lost it. She insisted on going back to the car park where she thought she'd lost it, and after a long sewarch found it.
