My lucky ring

One of the first major purchases (over $100) I made when I graduated from x-ray school was an opal ring. I reminds me of independence and goal setting. So I wear it on any occasion that I would need good fortune, whenever I have a manicure or to just have a happy day. It always works :).

Oh, and yes: my hands do look like my mothers

Beautiful ring...did you know that the Opal is Australia's national gemstone?

An ex-boyfriend gave me an opal ring once.. I wonder if I still have it.

Pretty! I have a ring that was my first "big purchase"--bought it my Jr or Sr year of high school. Opals are Auntie Em's birthstone and her favorite gemstone.

Wow - the first thing I thought was how your hand looks like your Mom's and funny to read your comment. I do love opals - I have lots of them. I was born in Oct. Auntie Em

Who Knew? I have an Opal ring too. It was my grandmothers...

no ring for me either, though I do have an opal necklace all the way from Australia :)

It's funny that you post this... I was just realizing yesterday that my college ring is the only jewelry I wear that was not given to me by the husband. That made me slightly disappointed in myself! I should be able to have some independent jewelery ;) you go, girl

Love those hands. It is amazing what one mother can do. We should put all our hand together and see if they all look like my mothers. I had an opal ring but it got stolen. But - I love pearls. Mom
