Story pending

It might look as though it is just another typical silver ring, although theres quite a history surrounding it. Back in the mid-90s both my parents had been dating each other for a couple of years and were pretty committed to each other by this point. Although they were pretty young and neither of them were ready for marriage and they also couldn't afford to get married. So my dad asked for a ring from his Dad which his dad got from Africa. Furthermore he wore this ring to show her the love and the trust he wants to keep between each other.  Many years later they get married and have children. One day Im looking through my Dads chains and rings and he I pick out this one, and he tells me the backstory and the importance it once held to him and his Dad while moving to America. I know feel very close to it and want to someday pass it to my kids. (if I ever have kids) Furthermore keeping the tradition of passing the ring to daughter/son.
