A friend of mine here in Cairo has this totally wonderful ring. I’ve admired it for months and even went to the store where she bought hers to see if I could get my own. No luck. I guess she finally got sick of hearing me gush about it because she suggested that maybe I could get the ring copied and very kindly allowed me to borrow her ring.
My precious…
So, I found a jeweler here in the neighborhood who said he could copy it – and if I didn’t like it when he was done, I didn’t have to pay for it. Not a bad deal, right?
Only thing is, apparently that sort of assurance isn’t *quite* good enough for me. I actually dreamed about the ring last night – that I’d gotten it back and not only wasn’t the workmanship good, but they had changed the whole design. (That actually might have come from the fact that the jeweler I spoke with kept trying to suggest changes to me to make it more “individual” when in fact I just wanted it as it was!) I woke up several times over the course of the night with these sorts of unsatisfactory scenarios playing through my brain.
The likelihood is that all will be well – and if it isn’t, I won’t have to pay. But at the end of the day, what I really want is the ring and I’ll have to wait until Friday to find out if I get it or not. I have the feeling it’s going to be a long week!
Sounds exciting! What kind of ring is it?

Or, even if it doesn’t turn out correctly . . . what about a picture of the original?
See you soon . . . I’m saving up my sushi money!
