Ring a Ring o' Roses

My ring collection has become a bit of an obsession. The newest addition is the silver square ring to the right in the photo below, bought while visiting the Camberwell Market yesterday.

The lady selling it (not to mention a bunch of other amazing rings - it was a good thing I only had a small amount of cash on me because I could easily have walked away with six or seven) told me they'd been sourced from a small town in Morocco. She also said they had spiritual qualities and though I like to take anything like that with a healthy amount of cynicism, it's a nice story. She told me one lady had purchased several rings from her and returned to the market not long after to report the rings had helped her find a boyfriend. Interesting theory!

One of my other favourites is the wolf ring I got from the Melbourne Design Market a few months ago.




















Excuse the make-up in this shot - it's Monday and I was bored.
