A habit of forgetting
I have an awful habit of forgetting my rings on washbasins. I get terribly annoyed when I do this and curse myself for not taking a picture of the ring at least.
The first ring I lost was one I got from my grandmother. It was a natural stone that she found by the lake where she lived (and where we used to go swimming together in the ice cold water). The colour of the stone was a dark plum and the shape of it was slightly irregular and it was quite large. She had it set in a wide silver band and attatched to a plain silver ring. Despite it’s coming up to ten years since I lost it (in Barcelona) I still love it and can picture it on my finger. It would look gorgeous with my new grey sweater…
So, the other week I got a tip (thank’s Joseph!) about Kirsten Muenster’s jewellery and it reminded me very much of this ring - the beauty of the stones colour and shape in combination with the silver setting. Just beautiful - enjoy! Oh, and what a wonderful Christmas present for someone special…

When I was 16 or 17, I left two of my mother’s rings on a washbasin. One of them was her exam piece from school (she is a silversmith). It happened at a theatre festival party at a hotel, lots of people around, and of course they were stolen immediately. It’s been more than ten years and I still feel so bad. Oh dear.

My grandmother told me to take my ring(s) between my lips while washing my hands, so not to forget them. It works ;o).Nice blog I like it a lot- thank you. Danièle
