Yes, yes it is. I'm talking about that spot on your left ring-finger usually reserved for a very specific purpose and for one type of jewelry in particular. I must admit, I spent a lot of time looking at that empty spot, occasionally browsing the Tiffany's website or the costume jewelery section of wal-mart trying to find that one ring that will look just right. Truth is, I never really found the perfect fit. I had imagined a square cut diamond with a halo....or a tear-drop shaped something or other. Everything looked ok, but nothing looked right. I suppose it's because of everything having a ring on that finger represents. A lifelong commitment, your belonging to someone, them choosing to spend their life with you. Somehow all that pressure taints the actual ring itself...especially since it's not the other person getting a ring FOR you....it's you pretending like a fool...searching for something. THAT's why nothing fits, nothing is quite right, nothing you put on that finger is fulfilling.
However, when you are given a ring...one that you normal wouldn't ever consider whilst browsing all the displays at "People's jewelers"...and the only finger it DOES fit on is that spot. Well then, you have no choice really. But in that case it really doesn't matter that the stone has imperfections, that the halo has a couple of diamonds out of place. What matters is what that ring represents. The love with which it was given, the sincerity with which it was bought. THAT is what makes it right.
That being said. I have this ring on my finger, it's not silver in colour, it's not a diamond, it's not square cut...but it is beautiful, it was given with love and it absolutely makes me fulfilled in every way. It reminds me that I have someone who will love me forever and that I don't ever need to go searching for love anywhere else. It's a perfect fit and I never take it off. So it will take a hell of a lot to replace it with something else. Thanks mom, I love it. <3
