The Pretty Good Problem


Before my grandmother passed away she had given me an old ring that she used to wear all time. Since then this ring has always had a very special place in my heart. Last year the opal stone that was in the ring fell out, however I didnt notice the stone had fallen out until I was sitting and class. Because the stone was so small it made it impossible to find the opal. I didnt want to just replace it with any stone so thats when I started my search for stones and gems. Later that year while i was in an antique store I found a pair of beautiful sea green stud earings. The man who sold them to me told me some elaborate story about how he found them and at the time I feel in love with them even though im sure he most likely made up the story. He sold me and I ended up purchasing the earings, not even a week had gone by before my younger sister borrowed my new earings, and lost one of them. So now I was left with just one beautiful sea green stud earing, I put it away in my jewelry box figuring I would find something to do with it when it hit me that I should take the stone from the earing and place it in to the ring. The next week I went to my local jeweler and asked if it was possible, they said it would be hard because the stone is a different size and shape than the rings shape but the told me it was possible. Now I have a beautiful ring that still means the world to me. Buying those earings was a remarkable purchase because with out them I wouldnt have my ring.
