I did take some very similar photos earlier. However, I have no idea which file they're in!

15. That production company did their work amazingly well.

I also thought Jared Harris, John Lithgow, Clair Foy & Matt Smith were excellent in S1 of The Crown

16. That's just what came to mind when I saw Peggy's picture

Isn’t it gorgeous? The ring, I meant, but so is that title sequence.

6. Beautiful, Peggy! Did an artist create it especially for you?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. Thanks so much, my dear Diamond_Dog!

Yes, an artist created this ring especially for me.

My then-boyfriend (nearly fiance) and I had decided that we wanted something unique for my wedding ring. A friend of mine gave me the name and number of an artist that he thought I would like. So I went to see the artist to start the process.

Most of his jewelry didn't do anything for me, but I found a ring he'd designed and made that had a section that looked like how I thought a wedding ring should look! I pointed it out to him as something I'd like in my ring. And he heard me.

He made 3 wax rings and my fiance and I chose this one. The other two were knobby and weird! A week later, he called and said "It's ready." And we were thrilled with it. I wore it on my right hand until our marriage 6 months later!

I've now been wearing it more than 60 years.

13. Interesting story! TY!

60 years …. Wow. It must have brought you good luck!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. I thought the story was worth telling, and thank you for reading it!

We've had our difficulties, but the bottom line is we just could not imagine ever being married to anyone else.
