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.
