As I wrote in earlier posts, me and my wife have wedding bands inspired from a cigar-band of the Edición Limitada 2015. First of all we got presented a very unprofessional and unpleasant work from Koenig Design AG, Zurich. At the end we found a reliable partner in Goldschmiede Obsession, Zurich. But this is not all… the story continues.

As we got our new rings from Obsession, the ring of my wife Yacquelin was a bit to large. Both rings had no engravings, because the production time was to short. After beeing back from the XVIII Festival del Habano the ring of her should be rebuilt and both should be engraved. What we didn’t know at the moment, these rings should never get their engarvings…
Within five hours Yacquelin lost her ring in the kitchen. With a fast movement of her hand the ring dropped from her finger and flew somewhere. We heard a short, dry, dump ‘clack’. We searched inside the whole kitchen and outside the house, because the window was a little bit open, but we could not find the ring. At the end we ordered help from craftsmen who dismounted several parts in the kitchen, like moving the fridge outside it’s cover, etc. At the end we had to accept it’s lost.
At March 12, 2016 I turned back from Cuba and the XVIII Festival del Habano. At the Air France flight AF0943 from Habana to Paris I had to visit the restroom. As I washed my hands I pulled the ring from my finger and forgot to push it back before I returned to my seat. I noticed this a short while after and moved back to the restroom. The ring was not there anymore, somebody tooked it. I asked the crew to help me and they did an announcement in English, French and Spanish. But the person who took the ring has decided to not give it back for a finders fee. From the perspective of the insurance the announcement has turned the finding into a qualified theft. With this, they gave me a partial compensation for the expenses of the ring. But at the end Yacqui and I don’t had a second time no more wedding bands. We had to order a new set. After one month we had our new rings and a week later a priest blessed them. We hope the new rings will last forever.

I would give a reward of USD 3’000.– for the recovery of stolen goods and the seize of the thief. The ring is from pure 18k gold with black appliances of colorit. Inside the ring is the following signet from the manufacturer: OSO 850 (worldwide unique). The dimensions are: Diameter 70.5 (23mm inside) height 13mm, thicknes 2mm, The ring is absolutely unique and the manufacturer would never produce it for other people. If you know something please drop me a note over the contact-form.

Wie ich in früheren Blog-Posts geschrieben hatte, haben ich und meine Frau Hochzeitsringe, welche von einem Zigarrenband ‘Edición Limitada 2015’ inspiriert sind. Zu allererst bekamen wir eine sehr unerfreuliche und unprofessionelle Arbeit von Koenig Design AG, Zürich präsentiert. Am Ende fanden wir einen zuverlässigen Partner in der Goldschmiede Obsession, Zürich. Aber das ist nicht alles… die Geschichte geht weiter.

As we got our new rings from Obsession, the ring of my wife Yacquelin was a bit to large. Both rings had no engravings, because the production time was to short. After beeing back from the XVIII Festival del Habano the ring of her should be rebuilt and both should be engraved. What we didn’t know at the moment, these rings should never get their engarvings…

After over two years of living together with my Cuban darling Yacquelin, we decided to marry at the last possible date of this year. As wedding rings we had the idea of something who is in relation to Cuba and the great cigars of this wonderful country. Something to express to each other – you are very very special for me. Something who helps us to remember easily to the year of the wedding, when we got very old and oblivious.
It’s a golden ring inspired by the cigar band of the Edición Limitada 2015.

My beautyful Yacqui: I’m so proud and happy to be your husband!

Nach über zwei Jahren des Zusammenlebens mit meinem kubanischen Schatz Yacquelin, haben wir uns entschlossen am letzten möglichen Datum dieses Jahres zu heiraten. Als Eheringe hatten wir die Idee an etwas, das in der Beziehung zu Kuba und den grossartigen Zigarren dieses wundervollen Landes steht. Etwas das dem anderen ausdrückt – du bist sehr sehr speziell für mich. Etwas das uns einfach hilft sich an das Jahr der Heirat zu erinnern, wenn wir alt und vergesslich geworden sind.
Es ist ein goldener Ring, inspiriert vom Zigarrenband der Edición Limitada 2015.

Meine wunderschöne Yacqui: Ich bin so stolz und glücklich dein Ehemann zu sein!
