The Magic of Love

Hello jewellery lovers!

Have you ever been in love and believed that the only way to describe how you were feeling was as if it were some form of magic? Or perhaps you have found that magic and have kept it with you during your relationship with your loved one?  Well have we got the story for you! This story from Twenty Ways to Pop The Question by David W. Richardson and Jean M. Means, uses magic - literally - to help one man profess his love for his wife of ten years. I realize that this story is not a proposal, but it is a great idea for one or any other gift giving occasion for that matter. ( Christmas is almost here!) Plus, it will give you that ooey gooey feeling inside (or maybe that was the Chinese food from last night...) and make you want to rekindle that magical element with your loved one.

Abracadabra

Keith wasn't much for the big days like Valentine's Day, birthdays, and anniversaries, but Peggy loved special occasions and always managed to drop hints and reminders a week or two before so that Keith wouldn't forget.

At least Keith could always be counted on to make reservations at their favourite restaurant, and this year for their anniversary was no different. As they finished dressing for their evening out, Peggy handed Keith a box and said, "Honey, I think I finally found you the perfect gift."

Keith sheepishly unwrapped the box and opened it to reveal the neatest mulit-function watch he had ever seen. Not only did it tell the time but it also gave the temperature, altitude, barometric pressure, had a directional compass, and an alarm the could be set for everything imaginable.

Putting the watch on, Keith look at Peggy and stammered, "Peg,honey, I um..."

"I know honey", she said. "It's alright. I know you love me. Let's go to dinner."

After enjoying a superb meal, Keith ordered a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Just as they were being served a wandering magician who had been working the tables throughout the evening appeared at the table and asked if they would like to see some magic. They both answered, "Yes!"

With that, the magician picked up the champagne bottle and, holding it three feet above the glasses, proceeded to fill each glass without a single drop hitting the table. Then he said, "before you drink, might I borrow that ring from your hand miss?", pointing to her diamond wedding ring.

Somewhat reluctantly Peggy took the ring off and handed it to him. With a flick of his hand, the ring disappeared and out appeared a small black box. The magician said, "Ma'am let me ask you a question... would you rather have the ring that was on your hand or take a chance with whatever is in the box?"

Peggy responded by saying, "Well, of course, I'd rather have my own ring back." To which the magician replied, "Certainly. I believe that's your ring in the bottom of your champagne galss." She looked and was shocked to see that it was.

"But," said the magician, "as a token of my appreciation for your time, I'd like you to have this box too," and handed it to her as he backed away from the table.

Opening the box, Peggy found a beautiful diamond ring. Keith took both of her hands and said, "Peggy, ten years ago when I asked you to marry me I could only afford a very, very small diamond. I promised you that someday I would get you 'your' diamond... happy anniversary, darling."
