rings

i absolutely love a good piece of jewelry. i mean, not just the precious metals and gems stuff, but the really unique, beautiful stuff that says something or has a story. preferably the stuff that someone made with their hands. it can be as simple as a piece of leather and wire, but love will turn it into art. and i love wearing art.
although i like all jewelry, i think rings take first place. it could be partly due to the fact that i'm a hand-girl (i can understand Joey Tribbiani's excitement over finding his hand twin). i really notice people's hands, so when there's something beautiful decorating them, that's an extra bonus. rings have a lot of obvious significance, such as eternity (the unbroken circle), but for me there's also something a bit magical about a ring. i mean, after all, frodo almost lost himself over one. wedding rings are used as a symbol to bind yourself to another, so i figure i can use one to bind myself to anything i want. my newest ring is a christmas gift from my dad. it's called "endless journey". i think that's a pretty good idea to bind myself to. and it's a right handsome ring, don't you think?
