What to do with the big ass wedding ring that a narcissist gave you that you also had to pay part of yourself….Hmmm…melt that sucker down into something meaningful for your new life. Just picked up the results today. Make no mistake about it, it will leave a tan line in the summer months. I will wear it with pride, it has meaning.
The meaning is as follows. The stone at the bottom is for 20 years of an unhealthy relationship (for which I take full responsibility for my involvement, trust me, I’ve done the homework now..) The gold hammered heart is self explanatory, the ruby was added for hope for an abundant future and the bird is that I am now just learning to fly after figuring it all out. The sapphire just above the ruby, hard to see, was the signature of the designer of the wedding ring. He always embedded a sapphire in each piece as his signature. He, by the way, is now divorced, leaving young twins because he preferred to mess around with one of his designers. On it goes. This is a much larger piece than I expected it to be but being almost 6ft tall I will adjust just fine. It is a BIG deal and perhaps the Universe decided it needed to be big. The other stones were in the ring as well. It beats throwing it in the safe never to be seen again or selling it for cash.
It becomes raw materials, like my life, ready to redesign, finally the way I choose, with no manipulation, bullying and verbal abuse. Pity the next narcissist that crosses my path. Eyes wide open and ready for flight, clear the runway.
You go, you strong, brave, indestructible Kung Fu Twisted Sister!!!!
Thanks TS, you’re just the best! xoxo
You go big, girl, go big! Job well done.
Thanks Gina!
I see a phoenix bird, reborn of the ashes…
There is that aspect as well as a double heart shape I was not aware of at the time I designed it. Thanks alessandro
Yahoo! Christina, I commend you. Homework completed, your graduation gift is a beauty! Wear it in great health, fulfillment and true happiness!
Thank you elena! I will take your good blessings to heart. xoxo
Fabulous necklace – really just gorgeous. You must be pleased with the result of your deconstruction, in more ways than one!
Thank you so much Terri! I am pleased to now have this symbol of my new life in jewelry form, very pleased.
I like it very much, art. I really do. I also admire your attitude too.
Very well done!

You are a beautiful artist and you know how to turn the things to the art… You did great. Go and fly with your golden wings… Thank you, Blessing and Happiness, dear Christina, love, nia
Thank you beautiful artist, you are so sweet! xoxo
That is a really cool piece and I like how you pulled the meaning out of the elements. Bravo!
Thank you! I am sure the guy who made the wedding ring would not be so appreciative. I should wear the necklace into his store.
You should – I don’t know what it looked like before – but it’s a work of art now.
Thank you. It was very unique as a ring, very pretty which was why I didn’t want to get rid of it.
Excellent idea & excellent work, Christina!
Thank you very much! So glad you appreciate it.
This is fantastic! All the best as you move forward in life, love and art x
Thank you very, very much! Love and art to you as well, what else is there?
Leave it to you to take lemons and make lemonade!….
