The Diamond

“Well..” Chris said with a pause. “They are all so beautiful..I was wondering, do you have any in three karat.. possibly a solitaire?” Chris inquired. “Hmm lets take a closer look shall we?” The clerk said as he opened the door to the case. Then he picked up the velvet tray that the rings were resting on. Chris stood closer and observed the rings outside of the glass. “Did you want a gold or silver setting?” The clerk inquired. “Silver” Chris replied. “One moment sir, while I check the vault” The clerk said before he walked to the back room. Chris observed the ones on the tray.. He looked a the price tags as well, to get an idea of thier cost, to hopefully try to formulate a price range.

The clerk returned with more rings on a tray.. These were slightly diffrent. The stones were larger and the diamonds seemed to sparkle a bit more under the light. Chris noticed one that caught his eye. “May I ?” He asked. The clerk gestured for him to take the ring. “This is three karat?” Chris asked. – Yes Sir.
