I always, always, ALWAYS break haematite rings.

One of my rings that I always wear is the wedding band that I bought for a certain ex of mine. I figured that since I spent so much money on the damn thing, it was going to be mine forever and screw him.

One of my butterfly rings Mae gave me.

One of my butterfly rings Peter gave me.

My claddagh ring is from my parents. It was a replacement for a claddagh ring that I used to wear all the time until my father broke it while he was...uh..."disciplining" me.

My Mogen David necklace is from my friend Carol. She got it in Israel for me.

I'm a big fan of jewellery myself, but I'm like you - these things always strike me as things that should be gifts and not something you buy for yourself.

The trick is in letting people know that you would like to get gifts of jewellery without saying "BUY FOR ME!"

I bought my own "something blue" since I wanted something I could use again and a nice little sapphire ring struck me as the perfect thing. Seriously, it is so worth it to see the look on jeweller's faces when you say you are shopping for yourself! (Also, rings sold as birthstone rings are much cheaper than the normal selection!)

Bas-relief ftw! And yay for art history class...

I like to wear necklaces that signify something in particular to me, but I can never keep them long-term. I always always ALWAYS lose them. The most secure clasp will break, etc. I know why, but it makes me sound like a crazy person to say it.

Heh ... Art History is definitely one of the classes that I'm glad to have taken in and of itself, rather then as a way to add to my artistic skills.

*grin* I wonder what would happen if we got you a necklace that flat out couldn't be removed ... irresistible force/immovable object type things, I imagine :)

Probably preternatural corrosion of the materials involved. Might take a little while, but I'm sure something would happen. Is why L's Eternity collar is on my wrist, among other reasons.

I have this image of you stepping outside into a rain shower whereupon the theoretical necklace just melts like sugar.

And now I kinda want to design said theoretical necklace...
