Description


Many of you ladies might have received rings of various kinds and I bet they were presented in elegant gift boxes. Well..I received this gold ring yesterday (stones are semi precious only) from my hubby this way. Sounds fun…no? He said that he waned to give me a real surprise. He slipped this shell with the ring along with the others I was preparing for dinner. Imagine my surprise when I opened the shell to find this beauty… And I wasted no time grabbed the camera and you know….. Btw, the starburst you see on the left is all natural. No special effects on this image.
