Remember that episode of Sex and the City where Aiden proposed with a pear-shaped diamond and—gasp!—a yellow gold band? Carrie threw up and I totally understood where she was coming from.

Even if you’ve just started perusing this blog, you’ll know I’m over that. Ninety-five percent of my gems are gold tone, but the rest—the most precious pieces in my collection—are still silver and white gold.

And, much to my own surprise, I’ve been introducing silver into my everyday bauble lineup by way of this ah-mazing Cynthia Jones ring. (You’ll remember the New Mexico artisan from yesterday’s post.) It’s crafted from a ribbon of sterling, twirled around itself to form a ring and the quality is as impeccable as the design. 

Thank you so much for the ring, Cynthia!
