I've been looking at Wendy Brandes' Swear Rings for some time but never really managed to actually buy them. I figured they were too trendy, too young, and I was counting my pennies for some more serious jewelry.
But I am not really a serious jewelry person, or at least I am not really a person who wears jewelry seriously. Really, life is too short not to have some fun. So this week I finally broke down and ordered them.
When I picked up the mail yesterday I was excited to see the box from Wendy and I practically ripped it open as I walked to my car. I did wait until I got in the car to actually open it as there was enough slush and piles of snow and ice to negotiate without crawling around looking for lost jewelry, but as soon as the box was open, these rings were on my hand.
Sometimes I gal's just gotta make a statement. What surprised me is how happy the rings make me, just wearing them brings a bit of a smile to face.
Since you can't really see them well in the first photo, G managed to snap another picture as I was heading out the door to knitting. I think they go particularly well with pearls.
Great with the pearl! Enjoy wearing them. They do make a very fun statement.

Hooray! I'm with you on having some fun with the jewelry.

Your coat looks great on you and I believe that the rings arrived at the right time!

I love it all, your fur trimmed jacket, your hair, your glasses, your lipstick, your pearls, and yes, the swear rings!
Have fun :-)

Pearls and swear rings are the hot new combo!
Enjoy!

Perfect with pearls! I've never seen these before. I'm glad you got them, a smile or two is so worth it.

I am in agreement with your first sentence; have to be honest, I don't 'get' them.

Duchesse, I love the honesty of your comments and treasure them. I am not surprised in your reaction. And Im not sure that Ill still be wearing them years from now, but for now I still enjoy the mix of the fun and the serious.

Oh my, I missed this somehow - I just love those rings!

hanks Robin! They make me smile, and feel a little wicked too.
Posted by: Mardel | 02/10/2011 at 10:13 AM
You crack me up! I've been eyeing those swear rings for some time, and I'm glad that you ordered them. How delightfully incongruous!

I used to think of myself as continually distracted, but that is far from the truth. The truth is that I find the world to be filled with fascinating things that capture my attention. When I am doing something I love, be it reading a book, listening to music, sewing, knitting, learning something new, or just daydreaming, I am so totally focused that the intrusion of the world comes as something of a shock. There are so many things
