I see you like big too! It is so funny as I once created a ring like this from parts (same ) from India. Do your clients like the things you wear? just curious because when I wear these things I usually only sell stuff like I wear instead of more usual size things. Including earrings too, always have done large ones and that is what i sell easily.
This looks effective to me, and quite appealing, with strong character!
This is what helped me get away with late night travel on the NY subways!
Yes I love big jewelry and I have alot of clients too that love it, I have a client she is a tiny small lady but she always buys the most biggest necklace and rings I have for sale....
Some people make comments like do I wear a boxing ring or so....
My favorite is when people say,,, does it open? do you keep anything inside??? yes poison better yes cocain. I wonder what their reactions would be if I said what they wanted to hear. Never said it but would be funny since if I had a dollar for everytime some one said that I would be a millionaire. People think big they think wizzard or palm reader...
No here they never ask me if it can open they just see it as a weapon, men always have to comment on it: I see you are ready to deffend yourself??
These are a pain when traveling through customs however, once they took away my ring and it took a great deal to get it back......
