We went to take a look at our rings on Monday. Caspian Jewelery, part of the Yonge & Steeles Iranian Network is designing producing rings to our specifications. I’ve gone with a simple, yet unique 6mm wide band made of solid platinum. The side edge is thick and square to its flat, top surface, sand blasted to a matte surface, and the interior is polished and curves to meet the side.

I must admit that when I tried it on I was taken aback by the sheer weight of this foreign object on my hand. I was sure that the simplicity of my design and the demonstrated craftsmanship would guarantee me a ring I would be happy with, and I wasn’t disappointed.
On the other hand (no pun intended), Sanaz’s jewelery did not turn out exactly as expected. Although a beautiful ring in its own right, it wasn’t right for her and not well paired with her engagement ring. Fortunately, the jeweler, being of amicable disposition, agreed to redo the ring.
We also decided at the shop to have our wedding date inscribed on the inside of the rings, and they should both be ready by the end of next week.
