gifts for artists

I personally love carnelian since I first saw it in the wall panels inside the Taj Mahal. It's such a beautiful but someone mysterious stone and I love the fact that it glows when light is shined through it. My teacher, Joan, is a very elegant lady with still black hair and one striking streak of white at the front. I knew these would look fabulous on her. AND THEY DO!

Another reviewer reported that the silver is not uniformly shiny. This is true. The top side of the flower petals has some darker color which, in my opinion, allows one to better see and appreciate the detail. The ring is very attractive and certainly looks much more expensive than it is. My wife has a big job interview on Monday, and she says she is looking forward to wearing this ring to that interview. She is very good at what she does, and I'm not saying this ring will affect the interviewers' perceptions but, if it makes her feel a bit more confident, it cannot hurt!

These were a gift for a young granddaughter and they were just right. The colors give her options and they look a bit elegant but not sophisticated.
