Another new Purchase - This time it's for our Anniversary/Valentines Day!

Alvin promised to purchase a ring for me as a present last Valentines Day.
So, this weekend, we decided to head to downtown LA, to visit the Jewlery District and see what they had to offer.
The LA Jewlery District looks like the slums (with some blocks looking like you are in Mexico), with rows of jewlers stores along the street, tall buildings with offices full of diamond importers and booths with so many different types of jewlery it makes you overwhelmed. It definately was information (or bling) overload.
So, after looking at a several different types of eternity bands, and knowing what I wanted before we went there, a nice man named Jay gave us a good deal (we hope) and helped us narrow down our choices.
I know some guys do not appreciate the jewlery thing, but it was fun to find a ring that was so pretty and actually fits me, since I wear size 4 1/2. I wanted to reset my engagement ring in White Gold, but the salesman offered to dip my rings in Rhodium plating (white gold) to change the color of my wedding rings. So, I also got to get the white gold update I have wanted for some time.
I guess the deal is now Alvin will be able to get Direct TV so he can get NFL Sunday ticket. Sheesh, the deals girls have to make in order to get a present.....

Woo, pretty! I'd do white gold too if I had the chance. My dream 'wedding' ring is a fat, white gold ring with a triangular shaped opal set like my diamond that I have now. Someday...

Happy anniversary!
