What are the chances of finding love at first sight? It happened over 25 years ago for Steve and Sharon. They were standing in line at a hotel lobby, waiting to check out, when their eyes met. Their attraction was immediate, exciting - and, as it turned out, enduring.
In just two weeks, they were planning their wedding. Within a year, they were married. Twenty-five years and two children later, they're still going strong. When their 25th anniversary approached, it was a moment to mark in a breathtaking way.
Today, Steve is an entrepreneurial engineer. He owns a company that makes computer parts for industrial use. He and Sharon have been my customers for many years. They have consistently purchased jewelry of exceptional quality for a variety of occasions. This time, though, when they came into my shop, they didn't mention the occasion - only that they were looking for a dazzling diamond ring.
I showed them some traditional, colorless, ideal-cut diamonds. After inspecting the selection closely, Sharon asked if I had anything even whiter and more brilliant.
Sharon sees with the eyes of an eagle. Far beyond what most customers observe, she can spot the slightest variation in a gem. I knew that with her discerning perception and sophisticated taste, only one diamond would do: the Solasfera.
I brought out the diamond and set it in front of her. I wasn't surprised that she noticed the difference instantly. She marveled at the diamond's luminosity. Not only was Solasfera Òbeyond whiteÓ for her, it was beyond beauty.
I explained to Steve and Sharon the science behind the Solasfera. Steve enjoyed the facts, but Sharon didn't need to be convinced. Her eyes were proof enough. Together, they realized the Solasfera was exactly what they needed to capture the essence of this special occasion - their Silver Anniversary - and the promise of years to come.
Steve and Sharon share an eye for beauty. He had the eye 25 years ago to pick out a spectacular wife - and she the eye to pick out the spectacular Solasfera as a symbol of their enduring love. Every moment Sharon looks at her sparkling treasure, she will be reminded of the joy of being treasured by Steve - her Òlove at first sightÓ and still, the diamond of her life.
