He later told me that he gave the same info to every jeweler, and that I was the only one who seemed willing/able to transform that information into design ideas. I remember well the information, which wasn't really so much about the ring as it was about Colleen herself. My favorite--love it!
Here's the result from that conversation, which was all about a rough-and-tumble, flyfishing, no-nonsense girl. A secure, beautiful mounting for a 1.10 carat white diamond and a series of Yogo sapphires set in two raised channels.
Yes, it was all going to be a perfect New Year's Eve engagement...I told him I would have the ring ready in time.
There's just one thing he forgot...he would be up in Big Sky today, and he failed to figure out an excuse to come to Bozeman to pick it up.
Guess what I'm doing this New Year's Eve?
