I recently uncovered this ring in my collection of jewelry. I'm not much of a ring person, so this interesting piece was languishing in a drawer. I have no idea where I actually got it from or how long I've had it.
Being a romantic, I just knew that there had to be a story behind this ring. Of course, my notions were heavily fueled by just having recently seen the latest Indiana Jones movie.
Perhaps the ring was purchased in from a market stall outside the walls of Teotihuacan. Maybe the purchaser had just climbed the pyramid at Chichen Itza. Was the ring made by some Mexican peasant who spent his days making items for the tourist industry? Or was it made by a factory in Mexico City? The ring appears to be hand made, but who knows what it's true origin.
Was it purchased by the beautiful, young second wife of a middle age tourist on their honeymoon? Was it worn by a member of the French resistance in WWII? The ring appears old enough. Was it a gift to an archeology student who did one semester of excavation in Mexico? Or perhaps it was worn by an illegal immigrant who wore it to remind himself of home.
I know there's a story and a past behind this ring. I can see it when I pick it up. I can feel it when I hold the ring. I only wish this ring could talk and tell me the story of the person who wore it. I'm sure it's full of love and adventure.
