Because I need more jewelry.....

Generally when I travel, I buy something non-touristy as a reminder of my trip. Art a lot of times. Sometimes a carpet. (Ahem.) Often times it's jewelry.

Today, two rings. I couldn't decide which one. I asked if she'd give a deal on both. (She would.) I asked if she took AMEX. (She did.)

They are designed by a jeweler in Melbourne. The large one is Pietersite (it shimmers like Tigers Eye) and the smaller is a gorgeous Blood Stone.
