bjarvisA few months ago, my wedding band (see userpic) lost a stone. Fearing the loss of more stones and having other more pressing uses for our available funds, I deferred getting the ring repaired.
We also wanted to get a similar ring for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cuyahogarvr but haven't found one of the same style. Having one made to order was always an option, but again there were always more pressing demands on the checking account.
While the checking account is still a little strained, an opportunity to tackle both projects has come up which has been too good to pass up: Jewelry by Poncé.
Poncé has been a regular vendor at Mid-Atlantic Leather the past 23 years. We chatted with him yesterday and he indicated he could repair my ring with trivial ease. He could then make a wax cast of my ring to create a suitably sized duplicate forcuyahogarvr although the current high price of gold is going to make that a somewhat expensive proposition (but he's worth it).
Today at noon, we dropped off my ring, officially submitted our order and made a $300 deposit. In three weeks, all three of us will have identical rings... yay!

Date: 2010-01-18 01:34 am (UTC)so I followed the link to the Ponce jewellery website, and thought, "goodness me, that jeweller is this side of cute". That photo is b/w and a tad fuzzy though. But then, the magic of GoogleTM provided this image.
I think I need to go and sit in a quiet corner for a while.
