how about reconfiguring some family heirlooms? (Score 1)

thanks to some kind donations, we were able to convert my grandmother's large diamond ring and my mother-in-law's ring with six small diamonds, into one mega-diamond-extravaganza engagement ring. my husband designed it himself, and got a jeweller to put it together. it was a very reasonably priced way to get some chunky ice on my finger, and all the relatives thought it was a lovely metaphor for the joining of two families.
