Like so many other people, I wandered aimlessly through the Christmas Market waiting to see what would catch my eye. And there is was! It was a most delightful hand-crafted display. And on it was jewelry… shiny hand-crafted jewelry! Of course I stopped just to browse; I was after all here to shop for others and was intent on not buying anything for me. But then I spotted it… The Ring! A beautiful band of hammered silver, fitted with two small gold bands on either side of a filigreed band of rounded silver, the three smaller bands turning on the larger one. Never ever in my life had I seen something like this! It was a meditation ring, and it took my breath away.
Despite my resolve to not buy something for myself, I asked to have a closer look. I twirled the bands… light reflecting, feeling their rhythm, hearing the gentle tingling as they spun… calming. Resolve weakening, I tried it on. Designed for my finger… a gift meant for me!
When Paula described her labour of love to me and I knew that my ring was created by a true Artisan who translated her vision and soul into her work.
Paula, I love my ring and wear it daily. Your gift of creativity has been shared, and I’m sure will be for many others. Thank you.
