yes, we certainly may. I'll hold to that thought. :)
Oh! *that jewelry* I am very fond of opals, and the two I was wearing I'd had from my aunty, who was A Writer. (and a lover of opals; we agreed that they must be portals into other worlds, with their changeable and changeling qualities). The other earring (marcasite) was also from her. In my left ear, I wear a silver hoop with a heart, which is from a set I bought when I found out I was pg with the first baby. My idea was that I'd learnt to truly love at last. (in some ways I must hold to that idea, since the children have taught me more of love than ever i knew before).
I have two rings, one of them a "poesy" ring (with writing on the outside) that says, in French, "you and no other". The other is a terribly overwrought cz in a vintage style.
For some Rings, there is *no* excuse. They simply *are*.
The only other piece of jewelry I wear (as if all that is NOT enough) is a necklace with a clear stone in the middle, which represented (to me) Arwen's gift to Frodo. Whereas I could never bring myself to wear a Ring-symbol due to the evil and torment it represents, the clear beauty and love evident in Arwen's gift is a comfort and a reminder that Hope truly does endure and is rewarded beyond the boundaries of what we can imagine.
In a world where goodness too frequently IS its own reward, that is a very good thing indeed.
