Santa Fe has some remarkable shopping! New Wedding Ring!

My lovely wife has been after me to get a new wedding ring for about the last two years as mine is pretty tore up, but I have been reluctant due to sentimental reasons. This weeks trip to Santa Fe changed that as I found one that I couldn't say no to.

SF has some dynamic world class shopping! This is my new wedding ring. It is made of gold bearing quartz and a few non monumental diamonds in a 14K band. Sorry for the bad photos as I didn't polish it before taking them.

As many here now I was a Arizona miner in my younger days and really love anything having to do with mining. This one just fit my personality.

Here are a couple of shots along with some gold bearing quartz specimens so that you can see the rough material it is made out of. Enjoy!

Thanks all!

I would recommend SF as a place to purchase jewelry! Most of the dealers will give you 70% off retail if you deal hard enough.

Gold bearing quartz is a wonderful medium for jewelry.

Back to the original version of the question - I'd really love to see it on your hand - with your watch nearby at the wrist, too, if that would make you more comfortable!
