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.
