rings

Last week when I posted about my necklaces I made for my kids, I had a few people comment on my ring. So, I thought this would be a perfect post.
For one thing, I don’t think many of you readers were checking my blog back in the Fall of 2005, but I need to share the incredible story of my missing sapphire...go check it out…crazy huh?
The ring with my engagement and wedding band is something I picked up a few years ago from one of my favorite jewelry artisans. Anne is an incredibly talented metalsmith that I met almost 6 years ago at an art fair. She had the most unique, creative pieces that I had ever seen and I splurged and bought this cool pendant.

I had her make a custom pendant with my mom and her sisters’ photo as a Christmas gift. She is just an all around cool person. I haven’t seen in her in awhile and I hope she is still creating jewelry.
ANYWAY,back to the ring. The ring on my ring finger is the definition for PURE. I wanted something more than LOVE and was drawn to the definition of PURE (absolute, nothing other than, genuine). My husband also had a custom ring made for me for our 10 year anniversary (almost 2 years ago). It was truly the best gift I was even given from him. The inscription says “Nathan Carol Celebrate” and then inside the ring “10 years of oneness”.
I hope to one day have a ring made with my kids’ names…HINT HINT.
Okay, so there is the story about my rings. I love to read about what people notice in my photos. Just don’t look to close at my super dry hands in the first photo!
