past is but prologue
An old friend of mine is marrying next weekend, and I’m feeling melancholy. Not for her, certainly, because she’s happy and I’m happy she’s happy; but for the passage of time, for the fact that I used to run through her backyard sprinklers and drive her to school after her sister moved away, and the vertiginous sensation that we are now the mothers and not the daughters playing outside.
Then I remembered this ring, so bright and witty and honest in its transparency, consecrating you as both seventeen and thirty, both ages fused on one finger. I wanted to e-mail it to her, to shout “Wear this instead!,” but I realized that she might prefer diamonds. It’s just as well.

I don’t think that my wife would really enjoy these rings over a diamond but I think it is a really cool idea.
They might appeal more to college, or high school couples. By the way I love that Etsy.com site.
