Small Treasures 1

I wish I had a Jag XK140 and a diamond the size of a lump of coal. Even if I owned such things I'd be like the long suffering women who appeared on Queen For A Day and won much needed washers and driers then had to sell them to pay the taxes on them. I couldn't afford insurance and upkeep on a Jag or a monster diamond. Fortunately I gain great pleasure from found objects and Extremely Cheap Things. The picture is of a ring I found in the Llanos River near Junction, Texas. I had stopped to let the dogs get a drink and I looked down at the water and saw what I thought was a pull tab half hidden in the mud. When I saw it was a ring I stuck it on my finger and forgot it. When I looked at it more carefully I realized it was a tiny diamond chip set in silver. I think it is a quinceanera ring, but it doesn't look like any I've ever seen. It is bevelled which someone said means that an extension was added each birthday as the girl grew. I don't know. All I know is I love it. I'm sure its silver, but it stays shiny and never tarnishes. Must be a miracle. I found the ring about ten years ago. Seeing it on my hand reassures me in some way.
