I bought this for my step father as a thank you gift before my husband and I got married on April 4, 2024. I had seen this ring MONTHS ago and casually asked him if he liked it and he said, he did. Little did I know that as those months passed, he was raving on and on to my mother about how “cool” and “awesome” the ring was. They got married March 25, 2023 and that was the first and last day he wore his wedding band. He is not much of a jewelry man. So, the fact that he had something to say about a piece of jewelry spoke volumes to me. I didn’t know his size, so I went to the jeweler where my mother purchased his band, told them what I was trying to do for him and was trying to find out his ring size. When I gave it to him, the look on his face was priceless. He was SO happy! A man who doesn’t wear an OUNCE of jewelry or even a watch.. now wears this ring daily in place of his wedding band. That may sound strange to some, but to give this to a man who my younger siblings look to as a father figure, who my mother loves deeply, who walked me down the aisle on my special day - I was the person he has ever had the opportunity to be honored with that responsibility and I think I will probably be the only one, it meant more than just a pretty ring on his finger… it was an act of love, a symbol of faith, and a beacon of light towards new beginnings for the future of my parents. I would not have been able to make it down that aisle without either one of them by myself.
This ring…
