Splurge....slurp...

Ooh, I big time treated myself today.
(I apologize if it's blurry. I still have not entered the 21st century and purchased a digital camera. This is the best my scanner would do).

Everyone has a 'style'...a list of elements that is the essence of what they represent.
For me, it's leaves and trees and ocean water.

So this ring just spoke to me.

It's unique, it's special, it's designed by Heidi at Blondstone (drool...she lovingly creates silver jewelry, often with sea glass, which I also love).

The irony is that my least favorite color is blue, but it just works for this.
Had this been done in amber versus mother-of-pearl, it would have hit the rickter scale of fabulous.

But it's awesome nevertheless.
It's the largest ring I've ever owned.
I'm actually not much of a jewelry girl.
I can't really wear necklaces or earrings much because I have an allergic reaction to nickel, so stainless touches my skin, and I look as if I've been burned.

I know, it's odd.

Yes, real gold is okay, but all my visits to Mexico have me hooked on silver.
Yes, real silver or platinum is okay too.
