Recently, my dad gave me a bag containing some items that my grandmother had specifically requested he give to me after she passed away. The story that he was told, and subsequently told me, was that some of the items belonged to my grandma, but most of them had belonged to her cleaning lady. Apparently, the cleaning lady wanted my grandma to have these things rather than her own family who were, according to her "not very good people." Now which items belonged to who I am not sure, but there are several pieces that are both unique and fun--this being one of them. I'm almost positive this ring is not real and is instead costume jewelry, yet I love it all the same. Amazingly enough it fits on the ring finger of my right hand, left whenever my hands are swollen, which is rare given I have teeny fingers.
