Well, let me tell you about this here Eugenie engagement ring, ya know, the one that gal got. Folks make a big fuss over these things, like it’s the end-all be-all. But lemme tell ya, it’s just a ring, a shiny rock on a band, nothin’ more, nothin’ less.
Now, this Eugenie, she’s some kinda princess or somethin’, right? Anyways, her fella, Jack, what’s-his-name, Brooksbank, yeah, that’s it. He went and got her this ring. They say it’s got this here pad-par-ah-cha sapphire. Sounds fancy, huh? Don’t ask me what that means, some kinda pinky-orange color, they say. Like a sunset or somethin’. I seen plenty of sunsets, prettier than any rock, let me tell ya.
- It’s gold, the band, I mean. Good ol’ gold, they say. Heavy, I bet. Not like that cheap stuff they sell at the market.
- And then there’s them diamonds, little sparkly things all around the big pinky-orange rock. Ten of ‘em, they say. Ten! What a waste, I say. One woulda been enough, or none at all. A good man’s love is worth more than any diamond, lemme tell ya.
- And two more diamonds, shaped like pears, on the sides. Pears! Like somethin’ you eat. City folks got weird ideas, I swear.
They announced this whole engagement thing back in January, I heard. January’s a cold month, not a good time for gettin’ hitched, if you ask me. Spring’s better, when things are bloomin’. But who am I to say? They didn’t ask me.

This ring, they say it’s classic. Classic! Means old-fashioned, probably. Like them old songs they play on the radio sometimes. Not my cup of tea, I like somethin’ with a good beat, somethin’ you can dance to.
Folks talk about the price of this ring, like it matters. Like money buys happiness. Hah! I seen rich folks miserable as sin, and poor folks happy as clams. It ain’t about the money, it’s about the love, or so they say.
Now, I ain’t sayin’ it ain’t a pretty ring. It probably is, all shiny and sparkly. But it’s just a thing, a piece of metal and some rocks. It don’t mean nothin’ if the love ain’t there. You can have the biggest, shiniest ring in the world, but if your fella’s a no-good scoundrel, it ain’t worth a hill of beans.
And this here sapphire, this pad-par-ah-cha thing. They say it’s rare. Rare! Like hen’s teeth, I guess. But so what? Rare don’t mean better. I seen plenty of common rocks that were prettier than any fancy gemstone. It’s all in the eye of the beholder, they say. And my eyes see beauty in different things.
So, there you have it. The lowdown on this Eugenie engagement ring, from a plain ol’ woman like me. It’s a ring, a fancy one, sure. But it’s just a ring. The real story is the love between them two folks, and that’s somethin’ you can’t put a price tag on. That’s somethin’ that shines brighter than any diamond, lemme tell ya.
So next time you see some gal with a big rock on her finger, don’t you go gettin’ all jealous. It’s just a rock. The real treasure is findin’ a good man, someone who’ll stick by you through thick and thin. That’s worth more than all the gold and diamonds in the world.
And another thing, these city folks and their fancy words… brilliant-cut, they call it. Brilliant! Like a lightbulb, I guess. Just makes it sparkly, is all. Nothin’ to get all worked up about.

Anyways, I hope they’re happy, these two young folks. A ring is just a ring, but love… well, love’s somethin’ special, if you can find it. And hold onto it, tight.
Engagement rings are all well and good, but a good marriage needs more than just a sparkly rock. It needs work, and understanding, and a whole lot of patience. But that’s a story for another day.
