Fortunately, Mary is not uncommonly laissez-faire about our plans. She knew we were going to Paris – but she didn’t know where we were going to live or the agenda. But when our Uber gets involved in pale Bristolshe began to feel a sense. The hotel celebrates its centenary this year, surpassing every luxury: with plush robes, a private balcony with city views, and lots of champagne.
The next morning, room service rolled into our room with a box of fruit trays and pastries. I’ve had news: We’ll walk around Paris Try the engagement ring. Mary drank her drink in one breath.
But first, another surprise: La Mer’s Spa Le Bristol manicure. One needs to wear a pointed hand naturally to try out the engagement ring.
Afterwards, we left. I dated in five different locations, from small antique boutiques to designer stores to online startups with huge inventory. Mary had designated her to like vintage rings and critically didn’t want to be like the giant diamond we saw in that woman on the bar.
Our first date was ospreya small shop on Rue Saint-Honoré, selling everything from pearls to opals to gemstones. Inside, there is a thick glass window between the client and the jeweler, allowing you to talk to the raised sound to listen to each other through the glass. Mary described the style she was interested in and nodded, and the jeweler went to the back room and returned with three rings. He glided under a small dip in a glass like a bank teller. Each ring is beautiful, but they all have an environment with elevated stones – Mary is sure to grab her clothes. This is a promising start to the search, but not where we find “a”.
The next stop in the list is twelvein a chic shop in Saint-Germain, the pieces are simple, tasteful and elegant. It was definitely closer to what she thought, based on Mary’s reaction to the classification. Although the works are not antiques, they are made from the designer’s vision and are similar to the jewellery style she already has. We took a business card and left a new optimism.
