Part 19 of an occasional series about rings in my Etsy shop that remind me of things.
Ring:
Kupittaan Kulta trapped carnelian orb ring. For sale in my Etsy shop: click on photo for details. I also have a chrysoprase (green chalcedony) ring in this design.
Thing:
Clackers, a much-beloved then banned playground toy of the late 60s/early 70s. Photo by Santishek, Wikimedia Commons.
So far I have had rings that remind me of an Iron Age hillfort, an alien spaceship, a cream horn, a radio telescope, Noah’s Ark, an octopus tentacle, spider eyes, Pluto and its moon Charon, the rings of Saturn, The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, some lichen, the stepped Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara in Egypt, the Quality Street lady, a herb knife, a sea anemone, an Iron Age miniature votive shield, the Mayan Temple of Kukulkan at Chichén Itzá, Mexico, and a screw propeller from SS ‘Great Britain’.
