We arrived in Antwerp and headed straight to the Diamond district. The place we were planning on buying the ring was closed that day and that day only. We headed up to another shop that Rose had seen on the internet, which ended up to be an expensive designers and their rings took weeks to make. The designer soon realised we weren’t really his type of client and took us downstairs to a shop that he supplied the diamonds to and made sure the guy gave us a good deal.  It was a fairly painless process with Rose liking almost the first ring she tired on (of course she would make any ring look good).  We then headed straight to sight seeing while we waited for the ring to be resized.
