You have such a nice collection. I lover these too.
It is funny what one keeps. I have sold so many rings over the years but I wear rings all the time that I have to really like it to have it. But I just found out that the wonderful Mongolian one with turquoise and coral in the center is missing and just spent the day looking around for it in my handbags and cloths etc. I am sure I wore it recently so it's either lost (slipped off finger maybe) or I took it off and can not find it. It really upsets me when I lose my own stuff since I had gotten this two years ago and it is the first ring I had gotten myself (to keep) in a long time.. hard to find original interesting rings now. Hard to find much of anything actually... PEOPLE things are getting scarce out there!!!!
Hope you will find the ring again! I think this happens to many of us. I sometimes forget were I stored items and get very angry at my self for being so stupid not to write down were I did put our stuff. One starts looking for many hours and does not find it. One day when you do not expect it: there are the items at a strange place.
In my case they are all kept in their groups in containers that I use and wear from. I only take them outside their area when I scan to list on this sight and had done that with the rings last year. I only remembered because I had not seen it in it's particular container when I was going through the rings to see what i had not scanned the other night. I remember wearing it recently, so in fact I am worried that it fell off my finger as it was a bit loose that day on me. It is terrible to think I could have done such a stupid thing.
I feel very sad for you, losing would be to bad!
It's a good group, even if a mixture, and some of them I really like very much. Always have a weak spot for saddle rings.
I thoroughly sympathise with anyone losing a piece of jewellery, or even a piece of a piece, so to speak. We once bought a good piece of sculpture, its only significant defect being that a part of a finger (most of the finger, in fact) had once broken off and been glued on by a previous owner. It came apart again as we moved it through the house, and I put the broken off bit in an envelope, which I recall safely putting away. This was more than ten years ago, I think, and I have still not found it back. I keep mourning for it and cursing myself. Truus is more resigned to such things than I am and keeps telling me to accept my mistake, but I just cannot stop blaming myself and really resenting the loss. There are some other instances like this as well, and I feel really bad about all of them ... It's terrible to lose a good thing!!! So I am keeping my fingers crossed for all who are in the same position, Linda e.a.!
Most of the ones I see in the market are not so old or new in fact. Something once so common is now also hard to find.
Quite so - these look like good old ones.
I have never purchased new ones for myself. yes these are all nice old ones The middle row has three Mongolian ones outer two and middle that is missing now. The other large one is Tibetan.
bottom row has Tibetan one the center one is Caucasian and the outer one is most likely a hair ring and is Tibetan. The top row has two Pakistani rings other wise Tibetan but the outer two to the right are hair rings.
