John,
I think you use too simple terms, this is not just “very good, very manly” this is “awesomely great & unbelievable”! When Dianne & I talked on how this would look I had no idea it would look like this!! If you have not already and can still do it please sign & date it. I look forward on thanking you in person. If you need a place to stay when on Island we have a guest bedroom.
Once I put it on I probably will not take it off.
Thank you so much.
Sometimes I have requests items made from sentimental pieces of jewelry. In this case it was a set of wedding bands and well-worn ring.
The gentleman lives in the islands and it is very popular to have an “Island Bracelet” This is off the beaten track for island bracelets but utilize all the components of my charge. Stabilize quarts gold cabochon and utilize the gold and diamonds from the rings.
