When I took off my wedding band, I wanted to buy a new ring symbolizing my commitment to myself.
Two days ago I found my new ring in Arroyo Seco, NM, a charming little mountain town (where Julia Roberts lives) outside Taos.
The artist, Claire Haye, named this ring "Strength."
P.S. Sooooo good to be home!
love it. it is beautiful. and what it symbolizes is deep and wide and true.

What a beautiful, beautiful ring. It's name is perfect for you.
You're my hero.
And you have lovely hands, just like I knew you would.
Love,
Scout

That's beautiful - both the ring itself and the meaning behind it.
