Her ring(s)

The odd thing is, is that when I bought my ring, I asked the lady in the shop on what hand I should wear it. It is most common to wear it on the left, unless you're a leftie:

Her ring sometimes does look green-ish instead of black, even though I'm fairly sure it's an onyx.

I wear mine on my left, even though I'm right-handed, just to mix things up (I wear my watch on my right wrist. I realise that this is technically "wrong," but for me it never made sense to wear a watch on the opposite hand. My right hand's right there when I'm writing. Why would I look elsewhere?) I'm pretty sure Joanna's stone is black, too. Onyx probably reflects colours and such.

Correction: you wear the ring on the opposite hand, I messed up my previous post. :lol:

I'm right-handed, so I wear mine on the left, and so does Joanna. I used to wear my watch on the left too, but since it doesn't really match my ring, I'll be following your example Timeless. :wink:

It's funny how many stones they can do though, but not all of them are pretty looking. Lapis Lazuli for instance is a beautiful stone, but it doesn't really work for a ring.

Well, I did it right by accident then, just by wearing it opposite my watch. There we go! :lol:

Some stones you just can't cut properly for certain settings. I'm not surprised some don't work for rings.

I think I've solved the mystery of Jo's ring. I don't think we were right about the Onyx, it's bloodstone - that's why it sometimes looks black, but it is in fact, very dark green. (with bits of red in it) Stones used to be a hobby of mine, and I still find myself trying to recognize as many as I can, haha. :lol:

You have to look at it really closely, but thanks to all the HQ picture we've got of Jo, that's not a problem. :whistle:

Here's a picture of what the stone (with loats of red) looks like.

Oh, you're right, it does have little specks of other stuff in it, doesn't it? Cool! Bloodstone! That's awesome. :grin:

Thanks, Maartje--never would have guessed that.

I recognised it, because I have one. :wink:

I told you I've collected stones for a while, didn't I? Well, I dug them up, and it's most definitely a bloodstone she's wearing. :lol:

It's pretty, I'd love to take a closer look at it. :hearteyes:

I can see how having one would help identify it. :lol:
