About Mrs. Peep Toe

A Spoiled Rotten Nightmare.

October 22nd, 2009 @ 2:10 pm by Mrs. Peep Toe

Hi, I am Mrs. Peep Toe, and I am spoiled rotten.

A few months before our wedding, I *might* have mentioned under my breath (which might have also been ridden with alcohol) that my engagement ring would look even more perfect flanked by not just one band, but two. Yep, I was that girl that asked for it all up front.

Oops, did I do that??

So the day before our wedding, while I was getting the VERY BEST massage of my life, Mr. Peep was not just getting my ring cleaned, but also getting another friend for my finger (thank you tax return).

I have no pictures of us exchanging our presents, but I did take a picture of all three rings while I was basking in post-bridal bliss the morning after the wedding.

And yes, that is Mr. Peep in the background blissfully sleeping, and yes, I have a totally crazy pinky finger, and yes, the time stamp is totally wrong and annoying (more on that later).

Anyway, the best part is that it is slightly different than my wedding band so I can always tell the two apart. And now I can just wear my bands or just my wedding ring with my engagement ring, or all three together, etc., etc., etc. The point is that I am a spoiled rotten girl with options.

But as the title states—there was a small nightmare. A few weeks ago, I dropped Mama Peep off at the airport, ran a few errands, and on my way home, I looked down at my hand and saw this:

Diamond gone. Enter nightmare.

I pulled over, called Mr. Peep and tried not to freak out.

But this nightmare has a VERY happy ending. Insurance would pay for a new stone, and since we have a rider just for my ring—it would be free. AND I found out today that they will pay for a brand new setting for the whole ring—apparently I had faulty prongs.

And the even better news: I FOUND the diamond!! Oh yes!! Amazingly, it was on our bedroom floor under our chair. So, in a couple of weeks, I will be spoiled rotten again with all my bling bling.

Until then, run, don’t walk, to your insurance agent to add your ring to your homeowner’s insurance. You will thank me later.

Has anyone else had a ring nightmare?

We keep putting off putting my ring on the homeowner’s insurance policy because I haven’t gotten it appraised yet. You just inspired me. Getting that taken care of before the week is out.

Wow, I can’t believe you found it! I have lost many stones out of rings, but have never recovered a single one (even sometimes when I watched it pop out!).

I LOVE your second band!

We insured my ring on-the-double! It’s not a huge rock or anything, but I asked him, “Do you want to have to buy it for me again?” The answer was a resounding “no” so we insured ;)

I recommend Jewelers Mutual. We pay $40 per year to cover my e-ring, wedding band, and Mr. CB’s wedding band. That’s for platinum, quite a few karats, and some gold. If you don’t already have a homeowner’s plan, of course…

OMW I’m so glad you found it! I NEED to put my ring on my HOI! We just recently bought our house, but thank you for reminding me!

My nightmare story:

So we had just gotten back from announcing our engagement in Indiana where my family lives… We got back and hung out for a couple hours before my fiance headed home. As I was saying goodbye I noticed my ring was missing! Not just the diamond the ring itself was gone. We tore the apartment apart!! Moved furnature, dug through trash, ripped the car apart! After we were sure it was gone I looked through the gift bags we had brought back from Indiana and there it was! The ring was too big and had slipped off my finger! COMPLETE NIGHTMARE!

I completely agree with the insurance route! My husband insured mine the day he proposed. That may have something to do with the 3 watches I lost while we were dating.. oopsies!

That’s some lovely bling you’re sporting. So glad you had the insurance, but it’s even more awesome that you actually found the stone. Wow.

I chipped my stone… I’ll never forget that awful feeling in the pit of my stomach when I first realized.
