Today I wanted to clean my jewelry, so I asked Aunt Sylvia for some jewelry cleaner and then after I had cleaned my ring I told Aunt Sylvia that this was a special ring and the story behind it. I first got the ring from Cara a long time ago after we’d know each other a short time. It was one of the most special gifts I’d ever received. I went off to college and the ring got broken. Cara took it back and when she gave it to me again I found that she had altered it to include a beautiful opal and two little diamonds. Unfortunately after some time I knocked the opal against something and it cracked. Cara took it back again and this time it had an amethyst stone in it. As much as I love and appreciate my ring I love and appreciate the lady behind it far more. She’s my dear sister and friend.
