I am fond of this one.
It's one of those cute ones.
In any case:

Jade
They were...indescribable. Castle derided his lack of a better word, but for the life of him, he couldn't pick a word that did them justice.
Green, obviously, although if the light hit them a certain way he would swear up and down they were more of a hazel.
But as he hovered above her and lost himself in them, they were green.
Not emerald, no, although they sparkled like the best of them.
Simple.
Complex, yes.
But so simple.
Very…her.
Not as vivid as Kelly green and not as dark as forest.
Not as blue as Pine and a little bluer than tea.
It was such a hard color to place.
He decided, after much contemplation, that the color didn't have a name.
But if he had to say, he would call it Jade. Jade green. An estuary of muted blue and vibrant green, blended to make Jade.
That's what he decides as he stands above the glass box and points.
It's small and simple, like her.
The diamond is partially inset into the silver band and around it, flecks of jade accent the modest cut.
An inch and a half of thick glass and a few more of air under his finger, Kate's engagement ring sits.
"That one," Rick tells the clerk, who smiles at his decision and reaches into the glass display case for the small blue box inside.
All he can think about is how great it's going to look on her finger.
How great it's going to feel against his hand when he's holding hers.
How green her eyes will look, no matter how the light hits them.
Review?
Pretty please?
