Thank you for all of the comments above.

Harry, she received her ring last summer. I would love to be able to put something else round in there for her just not enough money to go around these days.

Timothy...trust me, I've been married a long time to my only wife. You have to stand up to her, put your foot down. Stand your ground and always get the last word in your house...mine is "yes dear";):D

We have a saying between the two of us..."I'm right, and you win". This works both ways of course, it works for us. "Yes Dear" is always a good fallback of course. Thanks for the comments!
