It was an ordinary day. Just looked another time at my wife's new old ring that she wears from time to time. Years ago she inherited this beautiful ring from her mother which she wore quite often. Then one day she noticed that the band of the ring had a slight crack in it and she feared she may not notice it and one day might lose it. So...she decided to place it in her jewelry box in order to not lose it. Spent many years with it in her jewelry box until one day she placed it back on her finger. She just loved that ring...but still had that funny feeling that it may slip off her finger and she will lose it. So...back in the drawer it went once again. When I asked her what she wanted for Christmas the year she told me she wanted her favorite ring repaired. She placed it in an envelope and handed it to me. Now...I suppose by now you are thinking I am going to all you that I lost it...but, I DIDN'T. I took it to a jewelry store about a quarter-mile from our home at Woodcrest Villa. I showed the jeweler clerk where the ring was broken and she assure me their repair person could fix it so it would look like brand-new. About a month later, two weeks before Christmas was to arrive, I got a call telling me my beautiful ring was ready for pick-up. Even though the ring was to be a Christmas present for my wife...I still had her go with me to check out her new-old ring to make sure she was happy with the repairs. After talking with the same clerk at the store, she presented th ring to me, and I passed it to my wife to examine. We were both plesantly surprised, since the ring looked fabulous. Looked like a new ring. The beautiful stone reflected the sunlight entering the shop and the band of the ring looked as if it had never been broken. Actually...I thought the jeweler had placed the stone in a new band and was about to question the clerk when Carol told me she loved it. Looked just as it had year ago when she got it from her mother. The band had absolutely no marks of ever being damaged in the past. How their in-house jeweler could do such a fantastic job was amazing. I told our clerk to pass along our congratulations for the work he had done as we left the store. I wrapped the ring and presented it to my wife for Christmas. It looked great on her hand! She now wears it for special occasions and it sparkles. What a great job this repair artist did for my wife and myself. Many thanks for the work we had done at the Warren's Jewelry Store in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Need a great jewelry repair done???? Just stop at Warren's, which is near Lancaster's Park City, to get the best possible repair job you will ever see. I promise you! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
