Wordless Wednesday: The Crown's Jewels

This marvelous bit of costume jewelry belonged to my grandmother, who was my queen. She kept a cream perfume in the secret compartment of this ring that dazzled me in its over-sized glory.

    What a beautiful ring! Do you still stash cream perfumes or lotions in it?

  13. Hi! Wonderful crown jewel! This is better because I could look at it longer. This reminds me of a past trip to London. I had the chance to look at the real "Crown Jewel" but had to line up for more than an hour. With the long line, it was disappointing to get a look at the crown jewel for only a seconds. Thanks for sharing.

  18. Sandy,

    The picture of your crown jewel is just exquisite, and so is the memory of your grandmother. I have tears in my eyes remember my grandmother who is no longer with us.

    Have a blessed day! Tami
