Now most of you husbands out there probably just bought your wife’s engagement ring at the store out of a jewelry case, right?  Well ladies, you will be happy to know I took a different route.  What I did was custom design the look that I wanted for the ring and I hand picked the diamonds based on their significance in our history together. 

My quest started in Houston looking at loose diamonds.  You see, I started here, because this is where I met my wife many years ago.  She was working as the receptionist at a car dealership just half a block away from the restaurant I worked at.  She was a regular customer, and we got to know each other.  So I picked the first stone from a large selection of Houston diamonds at one local retailer.

The next place I went was San Antonio.  It was here that we went for our first vacation together.  I looked for the best San Antonio diamonds, and found one that would work perfectly for the ring.

So, I came home with two diamonds and went straight to the jeweler.  Needless to say, the rest is history.  She loved it, and when I told her the story about her ring, she loved me even more.  Hard to believe that was so many years ago…
