Turkish delight

Well, I was on vacation in Istanbul not long ago, and turns out you can truly find treasures in the souks if you looked hard enough. I hope the amethyst crystals are real and not spray painted quartz (yes that has happened to me before in Tunisia, big fail.)  it wasn't a luxurious shop with A.C so I really do hope I haven't paid too much for its true value. But frankly, I don't really care seeing that I made the decision to buy it the moment I saw it, its gorgeous.

For the love of nostalgia. My friend Cathy used to make me rings like these (using metal wires) when we had nothing to do during our IB art classes. Sigh. I miss her big time.
