“That’s what’s wrong,” Abby realized suddenly. “The bushes are all gone.” Michelle looked at her like she was an idiot. “Duh!?” Michelle said. “We’ve been here three days and you’re just noticing?” The bushes at the end of the football field had been removed sometime since band camp last year, and now anyone on the field could see out all the way across the street. “I thought the traffic was just a lot worse,” Abby said. Michelle rolled her eyes and almost growled. “Honestly, do you pay attention to anything?” Abby had, in fact, noticed the new ring on Michelle’s finger. It was bright silver, classic, tasteful, with a sapphire stone. And she noticed it hadn’t appeared until this morning. “No, not really,” she said, “Like, I wouldn’t have noticed you sneaking back into the dorm last night after curfew. And, who was that you were with? Steve?”

Blue and expansive like the big, Montana sky. That’s one of the many mood images you might conjure when you gaze into this gorgeous, emerald-cut sapphire CZ, the central focus of this minimalist sterling silver ring. The sapphire’s brilliance is boosted on either side by large, triangle-cut diamond CZs. Preserving the shine of this genuine .925 silver ring is a high-polished plating of rhodium.
