Thread Name: BS: What made you happy today
Subject: RE: BS: What made you happy today
Back in the 60s I had a silver M-ring - a Magician's Ring - which I loved and wore all the time. As I got older (and presumably more sophisticated) I put it away until it resurfaced many years later. My son, an amateur magician, coveted it and so I gave it to him. True to form, he lost it.
So for about 20 years I have been haunting silver jewelry stalls at fairs and silver jewelry shops in various towns. I have contacted Magician suppliers and even tried to make one myself. I have shown the design to many silversmiths but no one had the time to make a single ring.
About a month ago I discovered a place that carried the ring - SOLD OUT! Every day I check their website and am disappointed. Still OUT OF STOCK.
Today, they had it and I ordered it - the last one! Now I can't wait until it is delivered. I am so happy. It is rare that I want jewelry. A painfully simple silver ring but I am very happy.
