Dec. 2: I found the ring I’m going to give my wife. We were in town for the Christmas parade, and I walked into a jeweler’s and looked at what they had. We liked a ring with some Cabachon rubies and one with an emerald and some small diamonds. The ruby one was 14-karat gold while the emerald was 18k. My 12 year old liked the emerald one, and so did I, but our youngest liked the ruby one better. So we did the only thing we could. We flipped a coin and the emerald won. Of course, she can always return it.
