I take great delight in my ring collection. I rarely buy rings, but when I do they must fit perfectly and they must be distinctive or meaningful to me. Yesterday on a jaunt up to Pennsylvania I visited a vendor in an Amish market for overstocksilver.com. I fell in love with so many of their affordable and lovely replica designer pieces, and settled on two Tiffany's-inspired rings:

The first ring is of course a homage my darling muse, Holly Golighty (plus I've been wanting a big ring for awhile, and on my little hand this piece makes a statement! The second ring immediately struck me as distinctive. In Japanese culture the dragonfly is a symbol of happiness, strength and courage. I had recently been wearing a thumb band with the word "courage" on it, but the poor quality of the ring was starting to become obvious. Now I have a new reminder of courage to shine on my walk through life. :-)
To top off the glamour, here's a photo that my brother took of me yesterday. I like it. :-)

I like the fact that you have a "i like pretty things" tag :-)
On my way to the flea market early, early yesterday I turned on the radio to hear that 90's hit- "Well I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's" ? She said I think I remember the film! And as I recall I think we both kind of liked it."
Remember that song?
I love that first one. :)
