Wow, I had totally missed this thread, and what a thread!


The ring is gorgeous, and so glad he got "into" it. And such nice things have happened to such deserving people!

Go The Boy and The Girl!!!!

Kudos to Hadley and Poppyseed for making this happen!

Wow, what a great story! LOVE this thread!! It was like a perfect book with all of the essential elements...Love, romance, friendship, suspense, and the clincher,..jewelry!!

Thank you, Hadley, for sharing this story of friendship with us!

And I think the ring is perfect!

Suz and LLL -- How nice of you to resurrect this thread. I'm still kind of living with the stress of last March when all this happened. I'm glad I did it, but wow, it was murder.

Incidentally, The Girl and I just booked a getaway to New York for late August. We're going to see all of the touristy stuff, but as long as we're there, we'll also have the opportunity to make an in-house visit to Amcor. We're pretty excited. The Boy and I did a lousy job at guessing The Girl's ring size, so while we're in NY, Amcor will size this baby for her. She hasn't been willing to take it off her finger for a day, let alone a week, so she hasn't had it sized locally.

FUN Hadley!!! That will be such a great trip!

Have fun... make sure you guys take sparklie pics to share with all us here...

What a great story! So glad she liked it, it really did turn out beautifully. I love your hands and long elegant fingers and can't believe they belong to someone in their forties!

Ahhh, see, flattery will get you everywhere. If you were here, I'd bake you a pie.

I'm relatively new to this forum and have been "catching up on my reading". I'm having so much fun and learning a lot.

Hadley, your story literally brought tears to my eyes! I could hardly wait to see how it turned out. I'm so relieved and happy that your friend loves her new ring. That hubby of hers is a keeper for sure, and you're a very dear friend.

Way to go!!!
