Orphan

NOTE: Dear Sir ring will be revealed this evening!!!

Sorry for the delay, Dr. comes first ;)

Tomorrow at 2:00 Pm Pacific Time, I will be putting this gorgeous Queensland Agate orphan in the shop:

orphan rings can be made in whatever size you deem appropriate: what you see here is merely the top of the ring, shankless (there's a joke somewhere in that word..) with the stone gently set into the bezel.

This one is tropical, warm and features a fully engraved copper ginkgo leaf sitting asymmetrically on the side of this summery stone.

I figure we can all use a bit more summer, am I right?

(My mother (living in Minneapolis) is probably raising her eyebrow and thinking how I am not really having a winter, so who needs summer in San Jose!! I'd like to remind her that the earth moves here. Cold Weather for the WIN!)

I'd also like to apologize for the lag in convo response time: preparing for the show next Wednesday (we're talking 75% new material for a band separated by 500 miles) is a bit all-consuming.

I like practicing.

My neighbors must be grateful I am not a beginning violin student!

They get to hear Randy Travis cover songs

originals

and some Simon and Garfunkel

Tomorrow around 2 I will also be revealing a Dear Sir Opal ring in a larger size. This opal is EPIC.

E.PIC.

It's small, but oh heavens the fire. In any light: I would imagine it will catch aflame in the sun, so fiery it is in the shade... opals are good for the heart.

I am rambling. I wish you'd all come over and sit around my dining room table and play Chicken Foot with me.

I talk MAD SMACK, so be forewarned.

I sassed my husband's grandma a few weeks ago when we played together: to be fair, she pulled out a sass-action-lawsuit (copyright, y'all: this catchphrase started here!! ;) ) in my court of law, too.

I love her.

And you
