New ring for Alice

At the garage sale, I bought this ring from Aastha I can’t stop wearing. Every time I wear it, I feel like it is an artist’s work that can be interpreted in so many ways. The heart is so obviously Alice and that is perhaps why I’m drawn to it. But I also think

my heart was pierced

my heart is on the line

you cross the line at my heart

when it comes to love, I don’t know where to draw the line

I draw the line at love

I have been feeling very emotional lately and the ring just fits in. It also grabs everyone’s attention. My friend said it was very striking and he couldn’t help notice it. Others wonder what it’s like to wear a ring on two fingers. And one lady enquired if the diamonds were real.

Sometimes when you buy a piece of jewellery, you just have to go with your heart, I guess Do you interpret your pieces of jewellery?
