122 Ring

122 Ring
Object: Sterling Silver Ring

Acquired: Unknown

From: Grandma LoRaine/the family jewelry stash

Notes: This is the ring I picked out for myself from the stash of family jewels Mom had us pick stuff out from (as explained more in Object 120). It was almost black when I got it, but the beauty of sterling silver is that it shines up with use, and I wore it regularly for a few months before I stopped.

Mom and I also went on a small Quest to find out if the gems were actual diamonds--I didn't really expect them to be, but the unknowing was a torture. Eventually we found a place that used a clever little device which said no, they were not diamonds, although I can't recall what they might be instead (don't know if those people said, actually). Probably glass.

But I like it a lot, so I don't care what the gems are.  Really, it's better that they aren't diamonds because that way I can actually wear the ring.
