However, my particular obsession has more to do with shoes than with jewels. I have a closet full, and my husband periodically says to me: "So tell me ... when & where do you expect you'll wear all these." :)<br /><br />You'd think I'd have a good answer by now. Ah well, obsessions never require such.<br /><br />Blessings, <br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-78684378942428525822011-11-11T22:28:34.731+00:002011-11-11T22:28:34.731+00:00Glad you enjoyed the brief self-indulgent excursio...Glad you enjoyed the brief self-indulgent excursion into my labyrinthian thought processes.<br />You're right of course, light is important to precious stones, whatever their size or colour.<br />I have a large collection of rings these days, but none of very great value and my hands are so ugly these days that I seldom wear any.<br />When I was younger and fatter my hands were rather nice, though I say it as shouldn't. These days they are bony, veiny and better hidden.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7948117492116997244.post-70868690982595854092011-11-11T18:00:06.241+00:002011-11-11T18:00:06.241+00:00I enjoyed this, Ray.

My engagement ring was bought secondhand to avoid purchase tax (we were skint too) and is a small, but rather nice, dark sapphire flanked by two of the smallest diamonds imaginable. But they still sparkle very prettily when the light is right.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.com
