I look at my engagement ring often. Mostly to check to make sure it looks good, you know, CLEAN and SHINY. The other day I was coming out of the kitchen at work and I happened to look down at my ring.
A diamond was missing!
Actually, it wasn't missing, it was a trick of the light, however I did notice that it was sitting lower in the setting then it should be. I got back to my desk and examined it more closely. The diamond in question had sled out of it's bracket or groove, if you will, on one side. When I poked at it with my nail, it moved. I got very nervous. I can't tell you how many stories I heard when I worked in the jewelry store about how the diamond was there and then it wasn't. One good knock and I could lose the diamond for real! I immediately e-mailed F and told him to get in touch with the Jeweler where he bought the ring, back East. As I was waiting for his reply a co-worker came in and I told her what was happening.
"Oh yeah, it totally IS sitting lower!" (i tell you this so you don't think I'm over reacting.)
F called me back and told me that I have to send the ring back.
Back East.
How long will this take? How long will I wonder if anyone will notice it missing and think the engagement has been called off? I can't take the stress.
My thumb keeps going to my ring finger to mess with the band.
The one good thing about all of this? The deep scratches on the ring from when I wore it while sanding joint compound should get polished (buffed, for those in the know) out. And then my ring will be returned me to all shiny and new looking! YAY!!!!
Trust me, you don't want to see a pic of the ring on my pudgy finger, but this is what it looks like.

It's a horrible feeling to be without your engagement ring. Mine had to be resized when I first got it, then it went off to be cleaned before the wedding, and it felt so odd. I do the "touching of the ring finger with the thunb" thing too - feels so weird when it's not there!
