My Kirks Folly Ladybug Ring

Wearing my Kirks Folly Ladybug Ring

I love this ring!  And, really, who doesn't love ladybugs?  It was the first type of bug that landed on me when I was little that didn't make me cringe!  Of course, growing up in New York City, I had my run-ins with the dreaded "c"- word bug...Ugh...Gross!

But ladybugs are just so cute with their rounded little bodies and legs that tickle the back or your hand when they land on you.  I can remember just watching one slowly walk on my hand as I admired its lovely red color with small black spots.  Then, as soon as I was done admiring it, it would separate its back into wings and take off!  

     Kirks Folly is known for their whimsical, fantasy-inspired jewelry, and you can find all their creations on the QVC website!

Following is Kirks Folly's description of the ring:

Luck be the ladybug. This goldtone ring is decorated with an assortment of crystals and hand-enameled details. The ladybug's domed body is accented with faceted, round red crystals on the wings with scattered round aurora borealis crystals and red epoxy enamel. The ladybug's head is done in black epoxy enamel with round clear crystal eyes. Round aurora borealis crystals also decorate the separation of the wings and the sides of the shank. From Kirks Folly.

Letters, etc., From MaryJane #7

For the remainder of the month of November, my posts will be dedicated to the memory of my dear friend, MaryJane, who recently passed away.  I will be posting an assorted combination of excerpts of letters she wrote to me, anecdotes, and funny stories.

If you haven't already read..."Taking The Train To MaryJane", and "Visited With MaryJane Today", here are the links to do so:

Sitting on a park bench with MaryJane, one gorgeous summer day several years ago, I noticed and admired a lady-bug ring she was wearing.  I thought it was very cute and told her so!

Now, this wasn't any kind of precious metal, or expensive ring of any kind, just three little lady-bugs sitting on the ring.  A red one, a blue one, and a yellow one!

About one week later, there was a small plastic bag hanging on the doorknob of my apartment door.  There inside the bag was my very own lady-bug ring which MaryJane had ordered for me just because I liked hers so much!
