the 5K rings GIVEAWAY!

**UPDATE! we have a winner! details are in the post but I can tell you

it was a lucky girl! it was such a success!

thank you to everyone who participated!!**

it is such a pleasure to partner up with Nine from @goodafternine

whose whimsical, handmade rings are captivating and magical.

I really wanted to do something special to celebrate this particular milestone

since it feels like quite a feat having shared 5,000 rings over the past four years.

this is the result of a lot of passionate research, something I do every single day

and I enjoy every moment. of course this research goes beyond just looking for

beautiful rings - i learn about the artists, look closely at their work and also how

they evolve over the years. it's fascinating to see how some change, some develop

their own unique design characteristics (when you see a piece and immediately know who it's by)

and some are always searching to do something new, different, using all sorts of materials, colors,

techniques. this process is intriguing to me and I wish I could put my finger on what really sets

some of these artists aside - of course this is all done using my own taste and intuition, but

over time I have come to understand that while it's impossible to please everyone (i don't even try) I have been able to bring together what one can call a 'virtual gallery'and this is exactly

what i envisioned way back in 2020 when the page was launched. I hope you'll try your luck and participate in this special giveaway!! bonne chance :), bisous!
