hello all, how are you?  i've been recently thinking of opening another shop over at Big cartel and so.... I've finally got myself to open one and I'm having a 10% opening sale over there. Do take a look if you have any rings that you're interested in :-) just click on the link below!

the golden rock..

Citrine stones are believed to be a cheerful stone and bring luck to the wearer. It is also known as the "success stone" or "merchant stone" which promote and manifest success and abundance in all areas. Citrine can bring happiness to the person who carries or wears it. It can remove negative energy and bring positivity, so it's a good stone for reliving depression, self-doubt, anger, and irrational mood swings. I found two citrine rings that are made in the early 90's and they are perfect for any occasion. It looks good with jeans and a simple tee or even with an evening dress. what can be any better than a beautiful golden yellow rock on your fingers?

both can be found in the shop now :)
