"Oh wow, that is so beautiful!" was what people would say when they saw my ring. Never in my life would I have thought something so wonderfully gorgeous would be sitting on my ringfinger. What a cliche diamond rings are, I always thought. It was always "just what a girl wants". Well, I am not just a girl, dang it all! I wanted to be different, maybe something with color. That was until my then boyfriend proposed with the biggest freaken diamond ring that I had ever seen or at least have ever touched! At that time, the cliche didn't exsist anymore. After I got over the initial nauseau feeling, I was so amazed by the sparkle and the unique setting of the ring. Princess cut diamond on top with rounded diamonds and diamond baggets on the sides with the luster shine of a white gold band. Sort of a redundancy of diamonds, isn't it? I didn't know what to do with it, until he slipped it on my finger. Then it hit me. "Holy crap, I actually get to wear this thing!" It weighs a ton! Never in my life had I been given something so beautiful (kids don't count here) and for what? Was this guy nuts? He told me that he found the perfect ring to go with the perfect partner, both out of the ordinary. Often I find myself just staring at it in awe. Okay so, I like shiny things. Kind of like a crow, I guess. But I guess that it meant more to me knowing that it was picked out just for me and there are no other like it. So, I still was able to be different and still be a part of the "what all girls want" club.
This works--you jump right in, give us a physical description of the ring and your thoughts and reactions to the ring and the whole ring thing generally, and close on a strong note. Can't ask for more than that.
