I was browsing the web for interesting news about jewelry, when I came across a story about a jeweler who's dog ate a $20,000 diamond. As the story goes, the jeweler often brought his dog to do business with him. One day while meeting with a dealer, a 3-carat diamond dropped on the floor. Right before their eyes Sollie (the dog) reached out and swallowed the diamond. I couldn't help but giggle at the thought of 3 beautiful carats going right down the gullet of a dog.
The story reminded me of this ring that we lost years and years ago. We were just finishing the ring for a customer when it got caught on the polisher and was tossed across the room, never to be seen again. I had to wonder, had any dogs come through the shop since it was lost...?
Whenever we move a piece of furniture or have a big cleaning party, we keep our eyes peeled for this ring. Someday it will show it, I have a feeling.
