Although I joke about O.H. and her xmas present. I eventually got her a nice ring with opals (her birthstone). Naturally I wanted it to be a surprise so I got what I thought was the right size, it wasn't.
She was wearing it on another finger today and we were in town when the jeweller who sold it to me stopped us in the street and asked if the ring was alright. I was surprised he remembered me, as he must have had quite a few people buying presents off of him this xmas.
She said she wished it was a bit bigger, no problem he said, come into the shop after lunch and he would see what he could do. We popped into his shop and he took her finger measurements and told us to come back in an hour.
Went back to the shop and the ring fitted a treat, he said he had added a small amount of gold and resized it. How much I asked. No charge he said.
Needless to say, I shall be going back to him if we need anything else in the jewelry line
