  • Dear Betty; I just love this ring! So well worn - I am sure it has a silky touch! With kind regards. Peter
  • Excellent, Betty. Have you any idea of the significance of the tower or is it simply a decoration?

  • Thank you Thelma, Peter and Chantal.

    I am afraid I do not know much about the symbolism of these rings, but will keep researching...reminds me somehow of the spiky Rashaida bracelets some of which also come which large granules.

    It's great to touch and it has a small stone or metal piece trapped inside that mades it rattle when you move a lot.
