So I have somewhat of a surprise. Mr. Red came home on leave recently, and we went up to the white mountains. And, of course, I dragged him to the North Conway outlets to look around. There, we went into the Zales Outlet, and I found a ring that fit PERFECTLY with my engagement ring. The only problem was that it didn’t contain pink sapphires like the over-priced band I’d liked at Tiffany & Co.
So, the lady behind the counter said that that wasn’t a problem at all, and she could easily get their jeweler to replace some of the diamonds with sapphires! And then have the band shipped to my house! All that for a very cheap price (plus no sales tax — even better!). And since Joe didn’t know when he’d be back around to buy the band, and didn’t want to pass up on the great deal, he bought it for me!
Anyway, the ring arrived a few days ago… and I took it for a few test drives around my house hehehe. I didn’t have the guts to actually wear it out though… just a bit over a year and a half now! (The sapphires are pinker in real life.)
The lady who helped us out also attached a lovely hand-written thank you letter for shopping with them! So if anyone is ever in the North Conway area, I definitely recommend the Zales Outlet there.
