Searching for the Perfect Ring

Danny’s feet were hurting as he went from one jewellery store to the next, but he still hadn’t found something he liked, a ring that would be worthy of his love for Stella. He already had something with diamonds in mind, but none he had looked at so far had actually come close to the image and some just didn’t feel right.

Declaring his next stop the last for the day, Danny entered the store with a sigh, already prepared to leave empty handed again. He ventured in and passed the show cases until he got to the section that held the engagement rings. Resigned he studied them, spotting one only to find fault with it.

It didn’t take long for a clerk to come over and ask, “Can I help you?”

“I’m looking for an engagement ring. It should be as special as the person it’s for which I guess everybody says… I’ve looked at a lot of rings today already and none had really felt right,” answered Danny, finally looking up. The clerk was a pretty young girl with shoulder length brown hair. She reminded Danny a bit of Stella.

With a smile the clerk asked, “What is she like?”

“She looks a bit like you, is a bit older than me and generally very driven. She’s very caring and protective of other people too. She’s just… it’s hard to describe. She laughs at my stupid jokes and it took a while to convince her to date me,” explained Danny.

The clerk nodded and responded, “She must be very special then.”

“That she is,” answered Danny.

While they talked, the clerk pulled out a set of rings out of a neighboring show case and placed them on top of the show case. Inviting Danny to check them out, the clerk said, “These are my favorite rings by far. They have Celtic symbols engraved. This one here has the symbol for Eternity engraved with a small diamond at the three ends. They’re not typical for engagement rings, but since you mentioned looking at a lot already…”

“It’s perfect,” said Danny, staring at the ring. He loved the meaning of the symbol and he loved how the three diamonds, while small, simply shone on the silver ring. Danny just knew that this was the perfect ring for Stella. It shone as bright as Stella did in his life and it symbolized the eternity he wanted to spend with her.

He arranged to have something engraved and paid for it. Now all he had to do was wait until he could pick up the ring and set up the perfect ambiance for him to propose.

The End
