About This Video
Jim and I got engaged in North Carolina, where we mined an aquamarine stone to go into my engagement ring. We came home with blisters, great pics, stories, and a 7mm nearly clear aquamarine stone that created a beautiful, sentimental ring that I still look at and do a double take. :)
We got engaged at the Biltmore Estate with a little blue gift shop ring that Jim bought to last me until we had our new stone set, and we came home with enough extra gemstones to create special jewelry for family for years to come. :)
