    Your Favorite 2023 Purchase?

    DW's engagement/wedding ring

    I think it would be lovely to make several small pendants from the diamonds, perhaps one for each of the women. If they aren't interested in that right now, you could just hold onto it as their interest might change in the future. It sounds like that ring holds a lot of sentiment, and they...
