He Lost His Ring

Actually, he lost it last spring.

We thought for certain it had fallen into the depths of his piano, during a tuning session. We looked into the bowels of that complicated instrument. No ring.

We thought for sure it was in his workshop, having fallen into a pile of wood shavings after he removed it for tool-gripping comfort. We swept and sifted. No ring.

We figured it must be in our bedroom, dropped down behind the nightstand or his dresser. We searched and rummaged. No ring.

I decided I'd make him a new one, and quick, lest some unknowing lady try to catch his eye, believing him to be single. Still no ring.


Nearly two seasons have passed by sans ring. Next week, we will celebrate 11 years since the first time I put a ring on his finger, and I didn't want our anniversary to sneak by without a replacement. So last night, I finished his new wedding band and slipped it on his finger. Finally, a ring.


"The A Ring" is now listed in my shop.

  4. Wow. 11? Big Congrats!
    Secondly - my husband also lost his ring!
    God, it's been months - he's sure it's somewhere lingering around with dust bunnies - I don't know what to do - we hit our 5th recently -without a ring on his finger.... You just reminded me to go over and give him my two cents about this again ;)
    Lastly, THIS RING IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL - I think he purposely lost it ;)

  12. How very lovely is that? Our wedding rings are not our originals (we had them melted down and the 2g of gold they extracted put into new ones...ehm we had no money when we got married!). Huge congrats on your 11th anniv! x
