I GOT MY RING!!
17 May 2014 20:56So in this post (hestia8.dreamwidth.org/57756.html) I mentioned that I was having a particular ring made and now I HAVE IT AAAAAAAAAAH :D :D :D
I first saw this ring just over five years ago at a craft show I went to with Crishna. I loved it but couldn't afford it at the time, so I did not buy it but unusually for me did not totally forget about it over the years, and occasionally checked back to look at it and sigh wistfully. I honestly could not be more excited about finally owning this ring. I spent the years in between presuming that actually I was never going to be able to justify the cost to myself when there were so many more practical things I could spend that much money on. And then, when I'd sold my flat, my manager suggested I get myself something I wouldn't normally buy. Something like expensive jewellery (she'd only been my manager for about three months at this point but I am pretty easy to read). And suddenly I remembered That Ring. That Ring I Had Tried On Five Years Before.
The ring is made by Poppy Porter (www.poppyporter.co.uk). Like the other jewellery, this ring is made from anodised titanium and the decoration is some sort of photo inlay lacquered onto the titanium. I got it in purple with a satin finish, though depending on the light there are strong red and gold elements to the ring. It's comfortable to wear (have so far taken it to work twice) and gets in the way much less than you'd think. It is also, obviously, beautiful.
And now for the photos!
( lots of pics )
