The ring is new. Yes, the picture sucks, but it's the best I could do with the camera phone I'm testing for work. If you're curious, it's a sapphire set in white gold, with 6 channel-set diamonds on either side. They're teeny-tiny little things, but very sparkly. I picked it out, and we decided on a sapphire. Randy picked the specific stone out, though; our main regret is that they couldn't get us some violet ones like we wanted!
I've just been keeping secrets, is all, you see. This really happened back on January 21. But I didn't get the ring until last night, since he picked it up on Monday.
Once I'm not lazy, I'll scan in the photos of the cat playing with it...
