    Gr. Ingrid.

  • Beautiful rings Ingrid.They are very special indeed. With kind regards. Peter
  • Thank you Peter, They are fun especial when they were cleaned so much more fun they were rather messy and dull. Gr. Ingrid.

  • How gorgeous these are, Ingrid. So bright and silvery. And it even looks as if they have bells on them :)) Beautifully made.

  • very Special, beautiful, adorable!  Love them all! 

  • Thank you Eva and Thelma.  They not only look silvery they are good silver.  the bells are fun. a couple them missing but still enough to get the idea.. I think it does look attractive when worn together.  Like the children poem, rings on her fingers and bells on her tooth , she shall have music where ever she goes. (I think the Canterbury Lady).

  • I love this set, Ingrid! But you know that already.

  • Yes Preethi, I know you do like them very much. So much they are going to get a new home.
