Conversations - That Ring

Hi everyone,

So if you've read Conversations, you'll know that Draco and Hermione ended up getting married and he gave her an amazing engagement ring, which Ginny estimated at 30,000 Galleons (rough Sterling price £150,000 based on JK Rowling's assessment that a Galleon is equal to £5).

I'm sure you'll have wondered what it looked like. This is the ring I based it on. Isn't it absolutely gorgeous?

So now for the details regarding this remarkable ring (that I would dearly love to own but could never afford in a million years and, sadly, am never going to have a beau with enough money to buy it for me. However, if I ever win big on the lottery it is mine!)

It's a 5.92ct emerald cut Columbian emerald with 12 baguette diamonds, 6 tapered emeralds and 8 carre diamonds, set in platinum. It is made by the fabulous jewellery designer, Martin Katz and, unsurprisingly, doesn't have a price (hence my guess) — go and check out the rest of his exquisite work and drool at the beautiful pieces he makes (there are earrings that match this ring, too, which I obviously want just as much as the ring).

After doing a search for comparable jewellery, I thought I'd got the price about right when you take into account that it's a real statement piece from an amazing designer, but then I found a couple of his pieces on other sites and they were way more expensive - between $300-700K, so it may well be that Hermione's ring is worth far more than Ginny thought it was. 

Only Draco knows it's true worth, and maybe that's a good thing!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the story, and that you're all keeping well and social distancing without too much problem — at least you have plenty of fanfic to keep you going. Please check out my other stories if you haven't already done so, or revisit old favourites. 

Most of all keep yourselves safe!

Until next time,
