This is a shameless plug and shoutout of Thanks! to David Truong. I started planning for this years anniversary and Christmas gift for my wife. David is the go to man for all things jewelry at my house (and he should be at yours too). I knew what I wanted to get because he had provided the idea a few years earlier with an amazing set of earrings for our anniversary. I contacted David and asked if he could make a ring to match the earrings. This was the only thing I know that she had said she wanted. Of course he said he could and got rolling on the project. The timeline was December so there was no hurry to get it done. Being the typical husband, it dawned on me a week or so later that her birthday was a couple of weeks away. In a slight panic mode as to what to get her, I asked David if it would be possible to get the ring by the end of the month. He said he could make that happen and he did!! The ring was shipped and received quickly. I was extremely surprised that the pictures he sent did not do justice to the actual ring. It was more amazing in person than in the photographs. The lighting of the shots he sent me did not begin to show the actual glitter and beauty of what I had received. I shared the gift with my kids so they could be in on the surprise for their mother. My daughter asked if she could have the ring if mommy didn't like it. I assured her that her mother would love it but it would be hers one day. Below is the photo I took on the iPhone in the truck with my daughter modeling the ring. My wife is also on board with me currently building an airplane in the garage. That is a running joke when we want to buy something frivolous. "...but we have an airplane in the garage." In all seriousness, if you are in the market for jewelry, contact David first. The quality, service and price cannot be beat. He is a major asset to this forum. Considering what we spend on guns, his service will make you look great in your spouse's eyes.

WOW! To hell with the airplane. With a ring like that you could be building a yacht in the back yard! "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

Beautiful ring! Almost as pretty as the one Dave made for my wife. If you are not already a customer of Dave's, you owe it to your family to upgrade your situation immediately. | |||

Those fingers do set off that ring very nicely. Nice looking ring. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Awesome. So, where is the photo of the airplane project? Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||
