Bow Peep ring $125 (sterling silver) by Charlotte Penman
I'm a typical Gemini when it comes to jewelry. On the one hand I love anything sparkly and will happily gaze at rings and necklaces and bangles for hours, but when it comes to actually buying something, I just won't. Why?
I'm a traditionalist and to me, jewelry is sentimental. When I wear it, I think of who gave it to me, where we were and when, and why. It doesn't have to be expensive, in fact some of my favourite items are costume jewelry I inherited when my Nanna died last year. I have one of her old RSA pins and wear it tucked inside my collar most days. No one else can even see it, but I like to know it's there.
At Tessuti recently I spied this sweet little ring by New Zealand jeweler Charlotte Penman. It is a complete about-face for me, because the last two items of jewelry I acquired were of the dark and moody kind (read: skull and bones obsession). I love the dangly little bead, and the fact that the bow sits flush with your finger. I'm secretly hoping that come January I will be looking at this ring, on my finger, thinking of my lovely husband and Christmas Day.
What have you put on your Christmas wishlist lovely readers?

That is so cute!! I wouldn't mind a thick stirling silver cuff, a friend of mine got a neat one from Fingers gallery (across from the Art Gallery) so i'm putting it out there a few months before chrissy :) My sweet nana who passed away three weeks ago left me with her rings, her wedding and eternity ring haven't left my hand since they were given to me the morning after she passed, so sad... I love that her and my granddads initials and date they married are engraved in the wedding ring, something I never knew until they left her hand recently, special! xx
(Jen) that was by the way
Now I know why I was asked if I had read any of my lovely wife's blogs lately....
