The necklace with the rings honors the bond without holding you back from dating.

I pointed its wedding band out once, putting its admirer and me in an awkward position explaining something I didn't care to explain. So, it is an 'open secret', like you say, and I haven't blogged about it.<br /><br />Since I wanted to date again, after four years, I added my own GowitheFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842273685414939160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-75621116886976171802013-02-24T10:18:15.597-05:002013-02-24T10:18:15.597-05:00Thank you.

It's got a lot of crystal beads in it that don't show above and the combination goes well with the colors I like to wear the most.

I wonder what kind of reactions you'll get when you wear it.<br /><br />I asked a jeweler from a crafts fair to make a necklace that incorporated my late husband's wedding ring, too.
