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.
