What a beautiful ring and wonderful memory to share with your boys.

I had Dana’s Goldsmithing create a custom ring for me from my engagement and wedding rings and my mom’s eternity ring when she passed away. I love it and it is something I will always treasure. Our 9 month old granddaughter is always touching it ❤️

They do extraordinary work, don’t they? I feel fortunate that my neighbour’s recommended them. And yes, it’s a lovely memory to share with my boys as well.

What a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing. I'm going to investigate this with the jewelry I have my grandmother and mother. ( I sold my wedding and engagement ring after my horric divorce and that felt good).

It's a wonderful process (as well as end result) - I highly recommend it! I love how it feels too - like I'm honouring what we had, but also acknowledging that our marriage ended in his death. I wouldn't want to wear stones I associated with a horrific divorce anymore than I'd want to wear stones that were mined unethically. I agree, much better to sell them.

What a moving story. I love the care and thoughtfulness you put into choosing your new ring. And to include your children in it makes it all the more special. Also, I LOVE both those shows too!

Thanks Lisa! It does feel so special to wear. I’m a little sad that both series are done for the season, but I certainly enjoyed them while they lasted!
