Let me take you to a Gem and Jewelry Show. It is a beautifully colourful event. Such glories dug up from the depths of the earth. Here is a colourful Indian girl, I just had to take her photo, her costume was so lovely.
Cindy with all her loot. Ready to make more beautiful creations. We do have a lot of fun, looking, seeking and just sharing our creative thoughts.
The one place I should have taken a photo of I did not. Bora, a jewelry maker from Brooklyn, I think he was Israeli. He worked in silver and bronze with semi precious and precious stones. Both Cindy and I loved his style, we both bought pieces.
Cindy bought rose quartz earrings in silver and bronze and a pendant with a Brazilian emerald, silver and bronze. I bought a ring chalcedony, which is a pale green stone, worked in silver and bronze.
Cindy and I negotiated a deal on the three pieces we bought paying $20.00 less as we paid in cash.
When we got back to Cindy's, Cindy and Steve said we want to give you the ring as an anniversary present. That was such a lovely surprise.
While we were at his stand chatting he showed us a piece he had just sold to Anthropology, it was a pomegranate ring, I just loved it. When he said he didn't have a website we thought when his jewelry hits the winter catalog the prices will be much more.
So I thought about it and the next day Sunday I went back for it. I had an old gold bangle which was broken, so I took it to a gold buyer and got almost the entire amount in cash that I needed to buy the ring. It was all very fortuitous.
I will have to take photos of my rings. You will either love the pomegranate one or hate it I think. I call it my Biblical ring, pomegranates are very Biblical. The ring is three pomegranates set with little rubies and two emeralds on the side, with a branch coming up either side. All in silver and bronze.

How beautiful. I love all the colours and the Indian lady's dress. I have several of them (shalwar kameez) and I would wear them all the time if I didn't feel so self conscious as they are elegant, modest and comfortable. Look forward to seeing pics of the rings.
