She loved the engagement ring I bought for her, but neither of us is a rock collector.
(Notice my use of the past tense. The ring, I'm afraid, walked off, to put it very kindly.)

My wife was a sea kayaking instructor, and she'd always take the ring off before class. Sometimes she'd forget to do it at home, so she'd leave it in a hidden spot in the car. Sometimes she'd forget about it and not put it back on until the next day.
One fateful day, a car wash and vacuum happened in the interim. Most likely it got sucked up in the vacuum and is now sitting somewhere in a dump, or in a seagull's gullet.

I think you should get her a M80/EP600 system to replace it.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

The day she realized the ring was gone was actually the day I sold my Paradigm Monitor 9s after buying the M22s. The guy who bought them took a little longer to audition them than I had planned (and no, I didn't let him hear the M22s). My wife was giving me hints from the sidelines to speed it up -- which I thought was only because we were going to be late for something if the guy carried on. But after I had helped the guy load the speakers and gotten into our car to leave, that's when she layed it on me.
She felt much worse about it than I did.
