  • Just beautiful!!

  • Very nice rings Howah, The attached ringlet on one of the rings; is it for a chain to fasten it to a bracelet or a thimble?

  • both are beautiful! I love the one with the star design especially! The hook on one of them makes it look like a pendant...

  • HI Johanne, I assume the ringlet is indeed meant for a chain to be attached to either a thimble, bracelet or even both. The star motive on the ring was actually almost a reason for me to not buy the ring. It reminded me of a star of David and for me that doesn't ring Kazakhstan, haha. But I'm happy that I've let the beauty of the design speak for itself finally.
