So... a while back I told you that I was looking for a Garnet Heart and Sterling Silver ring to match a set of earrings, necklace and bracelet I have. Here's the set. Well, let's start with that story first. Matt bought the earrings and bracelet for me from Red Envelope. I really like the set, red is my favorite color and they aren't overpowering. Well, I decided I wanted to get the necklace to go with. So I went to Red Envelope and this is what I found. Well, I think we can all agree that necklace does not match! It's setting is completely wrong and none of the other pieces have graduated sized stones. So I looked around for a while and while randomly shopping one day I went to my favorite jewelry, Fire and Ice, and found the matching necklace. It wasn't that expensive either! It's a bit bigger than the earrings and bracelet, but it works really nice.

So then I decided it was time to find the ring. So, I started on the internet. Much easier to do than shopping around! So, I googled, "Sterling Silver Garnet Heart Ring". I looked and looked--to no avail. All the settings weren't right. Well, I finally DID find one. I found this one. Hey, the setting is right! It's simple, nothing too crazy.... it may just work. Plus, it was only $40 with shipping! So I gave it a go. There weren't many discriptions on the page about the ring and sales is not this businesses main goal. So, after over two weeks of waiting, it finally arrived. Here's the ring with the bracelet in comparison. The stone is much smaller in the ring than the bracelet, but you can still tell it's a match (sorry for the bad picture). So, I think I'll keep it and call my search over.

So what's the funniest part about this story? Here's where I got my ring! Don't believe me? here's the direct link to the ring. So yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, this mom of one, happily married woman, has officially purchased a 'Purity Ring'. Google is pretty cool that way. I would have obviously never looked on that page (or FOR that page for that matter) for a sterling silver garnet heart ring. But there we have it! They have what I wanted and besides the long wait, they have a happy customer. So I will wear my 'purity ring' with pride. Just don't ask me how the 'pure' part is going. :)

Have a great night!
