                                          The Anxiety Ring

                                          The October Ring to the right.

While working in downtown Chicago, you meet a lot of interesting people.  About two summers ago, I met Katie Johansson, owner of Dollybird. She had the most wonderful jewelry.  I am a ring fanatic.  Her rings are definitely conversation pieces.  Every time I wear one of her rings, I get lots of compliments.  My favorites are the October ring that has all of the fall colors in it.  I am a fall baby and I was born in October.  So it was logical to purchase the one of a kind October ring.  The other ring is my anxiety ring.  The story behind this ring is this man I use to ride the train with was into natural stones that had healing properties.  He had two stones. I don't recall what the other stone was but I chose the amber looking colored stone.  I am into a lot of neutral colors.  He gave me the stone and told me that it heals anxiety.  Go figure, I suffer from anxiety from time to time.  He told me I should just carry the stone with me at all times. With that in mind, I decided to have it placed in a ring and Katie was the one I chose to do it. Like they say, the Creator works in mysterious ways.  Dollybird Jewelry can be purchased at http://www.etsy.com/shop/dollybirddesign.
