We're good at this, aren't we










The 3rd one is quite hard to spot.

So nobody's playing find the ring with me anymore?
And it was soo much funnn!

I'll play that game with you darling! I'm gonna do some more Purdey ring spotting tonight, pomise!

Fabulous

It's a great excuse to get my Joanna DVDs out by the way.

Spotted (in Timeless' Photobucket account )

I thought that one had it! (Bonus points for Gareth's ring as well).

I've noticed her pinky ring before now was well - her husband has one too, maybe a pressie? You can just see it in this photo:

That's interesting - never spotted that before! I'm not sure if they're exactly the same, but the definitely look like each other. It's odd though, she's had hers for so long...

Nicely spotted!
And what a sweet picture

My powers of observation *are* amazing - I should be a spy, haha!

Good to know I am not the only who has wondered about the significance of the ring! Interesting that she wears 2 together. Also, some fab photos in this topic, thanks guys!

From Hostage:





I did notice today that my teacher (who happens to be British too) wears a ring on her little finger as well. (ah, the things one notices when you're bored in class!) Now, is it something British, or something very Joanna-ish?

It seems to be British. Every other British guy I see on TV has one, including the BBC newsmen! They all wear lots of rings, but they particularly favour pinky rings. I like them a lot. I've thought they were very sleek and lovely looking ever since I saw Gareth and Joanna with their's. Guess which finger my class ring fits on?

I've never really thought of it as being a british thing but now you mention it i suppose it is

Awesome nation (but then I'm half-British so I guess I'm biased. ).

I agree. Weird, but good fun. (And I'm a Dutchie, so I'm not prejudiced)

More ringspotting

Oh, good ones!

Don't you just love her huge smile?

It looks like a signet ring. I believe traditionally people are given them as milestone birthday presents - 18th, 21st etc - & they have their initials engraved on them. The custom is probably dying out now, but certainly a whole generation seems to wear them !

Great spotting everyone :)

Hm, I like that idea of traditional jewellery: it really would be a lovely present for my own ''milestone birthday'' this year... Thanks for the info!

I've got a "milestone birthday" this year as well! Perhaps we should both get one

Gareth wore one, too, so it seems like it was really popular--perhaps he got his for a milestone birthday as well? Thanks for the info on that.

I already have mine--not for a birthday, but another milestone entirely: grad. And no, of course I didn't want one because of Purdey and Gambit.

Of course not

But seriously, I'd love one!

They're awesome on so many levels. I love mine. Make sure you get the right size, though--they can be tough to fit.
