My beautiful new ring!

My gorgeous new ring, bought for my birthday, has finally arrived!
What make it more special is that everyone chipped in to buy it for me...my son, his girlfriend, my mum, Ben and even my little daughter (using some of her savings).

It’s very special and sparkles so much in the sun!

And of course, the sparkling is her favorite part Smile

The effort to get eddie this gift was organized and managed by my very thoughtful stepson. He's got a really big heart, even if he doesn't always show it -- takes after his mother a bit that way.

That is a lovely ring. I like rings very much - along with earrings, have to be silver though.
I have quite a hoard but can't wear them these days fingers joints too large now so I just enjoy looking at them and polishing them.
Enjoy your lovely ring from your equally lovely family.

Thank you Vintage. I adore silver. I’m like a magpie for anything shiny. Ben has to steer me away from any trinket shops or jewellery stores...

I try to, but she's slippery!

I know the feeling, love shiny silver anything.

I’ve got more silver than I can actually wear! I’ve always worn bangles and when I go to work I have to take them off. My children say “We can’t hear you coming up the stairs anymore!”

I love bangles too, same problem though, between one health niggle and another they won't go over my hand, except if they are sort of elasticated! I have trouble with watches now too. So much for old age at least my earrings are still wearable.

Get them made bigger perhaps? Or treat yourself to the elasticated variety, there are some lovely ones out there.
Check out “Annie Haak” - pricey but very good quality.

Oh thanks I'll take a look. My daughter is getting married, don't know when yet but as soon as they are able to arrange it, so I'll need some bling.
