Diamond Ring

At one point in my youth I had become angry towards Mom because I did not have a fancy, cocktail diamond ring to my name. Our friend's Mom gave each of her daughters a diamond ring for no particular reason, other than that she thought they each deserved one; so --- where was mine??!!!

I've bought myself rings since then; and Mom was generous through other means over the years.  I finally did get several pieces of jewelry from her. Here is one of them; a pear-shaped diamond ring with baguettes on each side. It's worth all the years of waiting; and definitely much better IRL (sorry, I don't have a macro lens).
