Very nice ring BB, know what it is like having a terminal loved one, mine was terminal diagnosed, most diagnosed so last one to one and half, mine lasted almost three years.

Very nice find indeed! Congrats!:hello2::hello2::hello2:

Although it's not guaranteed to be a real diamond I suspect it most likely is. Weirdly enough...my first 2 banner finds on here (back about 3 and 4 years ago) were platinum rings with diamonds and the first one had a fake large diamond though the little ones were real.

This is a good enough and rare find to be worth a BANNER!

Best wishes to your husband and to you in dealing with his illness. My wife left me 2 weeks before our 40th anniversary but she left behind many, many wonderful memories and two beautiful boys (ages 29 and 24).

Dr Joe, I tested the stone and setting and both are genuine real diamond and tested plat. but either way I hope to get it appraised friday; We just had our 34th anniv. on june 21. I am not looking foward to this radiation (37 rounds). this is what happens when you beg someone to go to the drs for over 5 yrs and they refuse to go, but when he finally gave in to my begging him, it was too late. there are days I dont think he will make it thru the day. I go to gilda's club for support, he won't go, so I go by myself. I just handle one hr. at a time.
