| Dear Sincerity:
I think it's a fabulous idea to get a ring that you design yourself and that has the elements that you really love. I know that today many people actually replace their wedding rings at some point with something else they have come to love but beginning with something satisfying just gives your selfesteem and your relationship a big boost. My husband and I designed my wedding ring with gold from my grandparents rings, my great aunts necklace, tiny diamonds from my mothers watch, and rubies. The rubies were to me, the most important part because I had always wanted colored stones, not a diamond. My ring has 13 stones because I was born on Friday the 13th and I have never tired of it. I don't wear it every day any more because of my job but when I do wear it it's as fresh and new as the first time I saw it after we approved the wax cast.
If you want a pearl, and you really want a pearl, you should get one. Just remember that you might need those replacements. But don't give up on something you want because it is unusual. So are you. Keep that. It's one of the most important parts of you. That which is special to you is sacred. Your secret inner life, but also the parts of you that you want to share. Good luck.
