another dolphin

I found the gold dolphin in San Mateo and recently found the new silver one online. They are both at home on my pink jeans jacket which my sister Amy gave me.

new moon

I love this new moon pendant that I saw on Gem Gossip. I have moon and sun faces hanging throughout my house and would love to have this vintage piece!

Another deer

 I'm bidding on this piece from China. I know I'm not quite hip enough for this but what the heck? Huh? Wish me luck. The bid price is now at $2.59.

Digby and Iona

As you know by now, I love stag images. I'd love this ring if I could afford it. It comes from Digby and Iona
a wonderful online shop of beautiful and interesting one of a kind items. Seewww.digbyandiona.com

my hands again

I'm wearing my bear ring and my big diamond free style diamond ring. I notice on Gem Gossip that these free form rings are coming back into style.

Queen of Romania

This is the latest incarnation of my Queen of Romania necklace. The latest addition is the turtle shell egg above. It was a gift from my wonderful Aunt Beverly and Uncle Bill and was handmade in Russia. It came from my cousins' store AlterNatives in Cary Town, Richmond, VA. See http://alternativesonline.com.

my hands

All white and gold today. Sometimes I just get the urge to simplify.

some new rings

Here are some new rings I've collected over the past several months. I got the pink ring in the center and the green one next to it and the bright pink one on the right on my trip to Richmond VA. The others are from eBay. I love the cinnabar and copper ring; it really helps to bring out the colors of all the rings it's worn with.

bows

Rings in the shape of bows are really cute to wear on your thumbs. To me a bow ring is like a little string tied around your finger as a forget me not. Although I have a number of bow shaped earrings, I only have these three bow rings.

another tiny dancer

Tiny dancers are hard to find if they are in anyway realistically posed. I like this one with a rhinestone tutu. I've pinned it to my blue lace vest that I use in the summer.

navette

 The top photo is my collection of navette shaped rings. I actually have a couple of others but can't lay my hands on them for the moment. This style hasn't been my favorite. But I really like the the bottom photo which shows the navette in a horizontal style. I will be looking for one like that over the next few months!

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July! Here's a rhinestone flag made in the US of A, back before all the imports from China.
