put a ring on it!

so i realized that i don't know too much about diamonds. and as far as i remember, i don't think i have a stereotypical fascination about them. i am pretty sure someone tried to explain the significance of "carat" but that didn't linger in my memory for too long. don't get me wrong, i do think they're gorgeous (plus, debeers does great store lighting.)

this past saturday, my roommate came home from a supposed "brunch". when i asked her how it was, she simply smiled and said that "she had news" before gently lifting her left palm. as you might have guessed, i caught a glimpse of the beautiful diamond ring on her finger and i literally shrieked/ yelped/ yelled! i instantly dropped the plate in the sink and felt a crazy rush of happiness/ joy/ adrenaline. so yes, my roommate sterling is officially engaged :)

maybe diamonds do have their magic. or maybe diamonds are so equated with the idea of eternal love that it just makes you giddy. either way, i don't think it would hurt to have a pink diamond though ;)
