Everything is an adventure here in Korea. We went to pick up my ring on Monday. When the jeweler pulled it out, it was missing the big diamond. He told us he was taking us to the factory where they would put the diamond in. We left the store, out the back door into an alley, turned onto a road, then down another alley, then another, and finally up some very steep stairs. Now, had we been anywhere other than Korea, I would have been totally freaked out thinking we were about to be taken into a dark alley where someone could rob us worse. I mean we had a ton of won (cash) on us as Koreans don't like to deal in plastic. To be fully honest I was a little freaked out and was thankful Hubby went with me to pick the ring up. Once we reached to top of the stairs this is what we saw....
All these guys work very hard to make the rings we wear today. Each one has a different job, one sets the small diamonds, one sizes the ring, another polishes the rings and so on. The next picture is of the man that actually made my ring, although each of these guys worked on it. In the picture below he is putting the diamond in my ring.
And, here is the finished product!!!
