Spoke too soon. Held it under bright light with my specs on ( ::)) and only a small bit of the stone is there. So it will need a new stone.
Good thing is that my cousin's son's wife is a jeweller, so I'm waiting for her to say ok....

You must have banged the ring hard then to lose part of a stone  :-\

How you feeling?

I'm ok thanks, just thicker than normal. Went to auto check out at our local M&S and had to be helped to use the machine as I'd put my card in the wrong way  ::) not well enough to pop down the hill to the jewellery stall though.

Need to find a nice blue colour stone for the centre of the ring. Sadly not sapphire! It was a pale blue, don't know what. I think it worked its way loose over time. I shouldn't have worn it swimming though. I take my wedding ring off. Also have just started taking my neck chain off. It's hell to get off as has a delicate, fiddly Victorian clip (was my gran's). Must have been mad not to take it off before but sometimes I can't get it undone by myself.

What about a nice blue Spinel oldsheep

I had some from loose Spinel stones and some Fire Opals from Australia that I had put into rings.

I love Blue John ……. also Topaz - I have several variations of the latter in rings/necklaces.

Better 2-day?

Much better thanks. I'd only heard of tanzanite and this stone is too small for that as little tanzanite stones look a bit washed out IMHO. I can see I'm going to have to look around. I do want a lightish blue but something that throws off light.

Bit fed up though as poor OH is working insane hours in new job. Today he started at home at 6.30, no breakfast,  rushed off and I've just rung to nag him to come home (takes an hour on public transport and bike) at 8.55pm. We don't even speak during the day as it's so intense. He's finding it interesting but he's 53 and I worry.  Oh well. Sorry to get sidetracked.
It's our 30 th wedding anniversary beginning March so it'd be nice to get the ring fixed by then. He gave it to me but neither of us can remember where or when!  ;D

don't think so unfortunately. I'll have to find more things to do. Went to Wildlife Photo of Year exhibition yesterday the other side of London. It was wonderful.

Hopefully get started on the ring repair this weekend.

I love going to the British Bird Fair to see the photo competitions there and several years ago, DH entered a photo competition at Welney being run by the Wetlands Trust.  There is a lot of talent out there! I also like looking at those sent in to the Bird Food Company [name escapes me].
