I did take some very similar photos earlier. However, I have no idea which file they're in!

I also thought Jared Harris, John Lithgow, Clair Foy & Matt Smith were excellent in S1 of The Crown

Isn’t it gorgeous? The ring, I meant, but so is that title sequence.

Yes, an artist created this ring especially for me.

My then-boyfriend (nearly fiance) and I had decided that we wanted something unique for my wedding ring. A friend of mine gave me the name and number of an artist that he thought I would like. So I went to see the artist to start the process.

Most of his jewelry didn't do anything for me, but I found a ring he'd designed and made that had a section that looked like how I thought a wedding ring should look! I pointed it out to him as something I'd like in my ring. And he heard me.

He made 3 wax rings and my fiance and I chose this one. The other two were knobby and weird! A week later, he called and said "It's ready." And we were thrilled with it. I wore it on my right hand until our marriage 6 months later!

I've now been wearing it more than 60 years.
