Hate to tell you this Ruthie, but I've heard plenty of Eastern European

Jewish accents amongst your generation (well, probably 10 -15 years older,

thinking about it) - which is compatible with being a bride's mother 10

years ago!

BTW The combination of baguette shoulders and big claw setting for main

stone sounds a little ill-matched to me - I wouldn't put a brilliant in a

proud claw next to those shoulders, I'd probably go for a central stone that

was princess or sideways-on emerald cut.

Well you weren't half an hour ago, but I have been sitting here educating

myself. Looked up " baguette+shoulders " in Google, and am now fully conversant

with the terms! FWIW I would not refuse a

if anybody were to be offering!!

No , you're not the only one, I don't have a clue what Anneliese

is on about but my engagement ring came out of a Xmas cracker (we were

19 and 21 and v. poor at the time!). It fell apart four years ago so

I now wear my great-aunt's - a far grander affair but still no idea

whether it has any baguettes!! ;0)

Hope you're feeling much better, !

No, I did not like to say I did not understand it either - I thought I was

totally ignorant!
