I am a small town Southern girl who moved to Chicago less than two years ago. I came from a place where I knew and trusted everyone so didn?t think twice when my fiance proposed to me with my great grandmother?s ring and I took it to a random jeweler in Lake Forest, I mean after all it was Lake Forest. Big mistake! Not only did the person do a bad job, but a few months later my ring actually broke where she had sized it. When I took it back she begrudgingly fixed it and actually told me I should take the diamond out of the setting and put it in another ring because this ring (my engagement ring) was too old to wear.
