My Precious

Well not that precious as most of this jewelry is a bad quality fake stuff that looses it colour or falls apart right away (I try to glue them together average three times before I give up). In between though are few quality items gifted and inherited from my dear family and friends who have much better and more expensive taste than me . The items that carry the adornments I have mostly found around Shanghai. The Rose like hanger (it´s meant to be a scarf hanger) comes from the cool Japanese interior shop Franc Franc. The flower decorated vase and metal box I found at the Shanghai antique market. The mini Chinese privacy screen is from the fake market (where else) and is perfect for storing necklaces and bracelets. The wine bottle is just one of the thousand ( I am afraid they are that many) I have managed to buttom up. The cake stand comes from Ikea, I planned to use it for home-baked cakes but realised I would get more use out of it like this.  The black wood thing with the watches I have no idea were I got from, must have stolen it from Mr P. The white shell is from some deserted  beach in Australia and the mini cocktail glass has followed me for a long time. 

There is one precious item missing from the collection, it´s the I-guess-we-can-call-it an engagement ring item. The reason is we had to take the rings for a repair because despite being purchased in a fancy shop for a quite a lot of money less than a year ago the rings quickly lost their promised finish and Mr P´s even lost it´s shape! (don't ask me what he was doing) This was one month ago and we still haven´t got them back. Yesterday I got this text from one of the sweet jewelry shop staff

    "Dear Vala hello! I am the Gold stone jewelry consultant Xiao Hui. Again very sorry you repair    the ring, it may be a little late in your fingers, because the factory is still give you a good time to repair, has not been settled, if jewelry repair well, we must first notify you! I am really sorry. We all staff sincerely hope to get your understanding and mr.!
Because my English is not good, so I can communicate with you in the form of sms! Once again, I wish you happy life! "

I have to say I am no closer to knowing when or if we ever get the rings back.
