    Just my little anecdote... 

    I had only been on the bench for three months when one of the guys
    came up with a really good cornflower Sapphire. I had just left a
    really good job in advertising to do the apprenticeship, with a pay
    cut to match. I could barely afford the transport costs to get to
    work let alone eat. wasting money was not an option... Anyway... I
    bought the sapphire and took it home to show my man.. His reply...
    "you can make a really nice pendant with that, should make a good
    profit.." I told him then that it was for an engagement ring... He
    even asked "who for?" A few weeks later I took home the ring and
    asked him to put it on my finger. He asked me if that meant we were
    now supposed to get married???? Once I was wearing an engagement ring
    I felt obliged to arrange the marriage... yes, I forgot about his
    wedding ring and made it the day before... He won't let me change it
    at all, it is just a simple band and still wears it as though it is
    part of him... that was fifteen years ago. Some things only get
    better with age.
