Well, I did!
Brad and I went to MARILOFF'S the Tuesday after Christmas and picked out the new ring. Because I was consistently picking out $6000 diamonds and $4000 wedding sets (I have really great taste!), we decided to see what we could find using the diamond from my first ring.
This is what we found. Isn't it gorgeous?! Please excuse my double-jointed fingers. They run in my family.
I *love* this new ring. It's so sparkly and pretty and vintage-y. I still need to get it soldered because the rings keep slipping around my finger and it drives me crazy. I'm taking it in tomorrow and should have it back by Friday.
Here's what it looks like on my whole hand. I usually wear a ring on my pointer finger, but I hadn't put it on yet when I took the photo this morning.
I still have my old bands with the two small baguette diamonds to make into a necklace for Phoebe when she turns 18. I had originally thought we'd give it to her at 16, but then I thought about how careless 16-year-old girls can be and decided 18 would be better.
This ring will be for the next 50 years...or at least the next 11. :)

pretty ring! I can't wait to see it in person. Mine has lasted (ring, not the marriage) longer than I thought it would, or should. Maybe I need to get more careless with my original wedding set.
