These are the four pieces that I wear daily.
1] About 4 years ago I bought this lovely ring in Mazatlan Mexico from this merchant woman her husband and her 3 small children on a small Island off the coast called Isla de Venados [Deer Island]. She made a living by selling her hand made silver jewelry. I had never seen anything like it. There are three rings bound together at the base with a pin and when you separate the two hands there’s a heart inside. Kinda wish that someone would have gave it to me as a little token of romance but I couldn’t be picky with method of obtaining such a treasure. I have lost and re-found this baby along with #4 about 8 or 9 times and for as long as 5 months. [Either taken hostage at my boyfriend’s house or in the pocket of one of my jeans I rarely wear.]
2]My class ring. Vintage style, amethyst, signature in the inside the band with my graduation year on the outside; it was the most classic and discrete of the options. Have had this one for over a year now. I’m generally not a ~fan~ of high school nostalgia paraphernalia. I didn’t purchase a senior portrait or all that cap and gown package nonsense; however, I did get the ring because it marked the biggest transition point of my life thus far as cheesy as it sounds.
3]Raw turquoise and silver, from my Auntie, spoiling me with treasures from her last visit to Iran for my Birthday last year. Cool things about it?:
Turquoise is ~in~.
Apparently it has healing powers [cool, I mean shit, I’ll give it a chance].
Fun fact: the most valuable turquoise comes from Iran. $cha chang changg$$
Native Americans believed it promoted mental and spiritual clarity and expansion and also enhanced wisdom, trust , kindness and understanding [~awesome beans~].
4]Bouquet of roses. I purchased this ring at the same time I purchased #1. I would only would lose these rings together, never have I lost one and have had the other. There are 5 roses in the center of the bouquet, the woman told me in speedy native spanish that this ring had to be her favorite and most personal creation. From what I could translate the flowers represented her, her husband and her three children. All of whom where standing right before me. The band consists of alternating design of dainty little cut out hearts and flowers [5 hearts, 5 flowers] and 2 hearts joined at the center to represent the union that created these “flowers” the bouquet- their family. I told her that I almost felt cruel for purchasing it but she insisted that I buy it in order to encourage the same bond in my life.
#’s 3 &4: I tend to switch these out depending on what I receive or find though out my life. They represent me now. If I lose one it’s with the acceptance that I have passed that point in my life where that ring doesn’t apply to me anymore and that I have naturally outgrown them.
#1 & 4: I got these rings at the cost of little to nothing, considering the price of silver in the global market. They were created and inspired by love and represent the value of family and life. They may not be perfect and they were not extremely expensive but there’s nothing like them in the world. To me, they are timeless.
