Hallelujah! Bring on the daffodils!
09 March, 2013
Spring
The first daffodils of the season arrived today...just a few of them, but today's warm sun coaxed them open in a protected micro climate down the street. Suddenly, there is hope!
This daffodil ring is more than a symbol of the hope for spring; in May 2012, this ring was auctioned for £50,000 to benefit Marie Curie Cancer Care (originally founded with money from an auctioned diamond engagement ring). The Daffodil Ring was handcrafted by Stratford -upon-Avon based family jewellers George Pragnell, and designed by the founder's grandson Charlie Pragnell. The ring is crafted in 18 karat yellow and white gold; the center piece is a rare oval Fancy Vivid Orange Yellow diamond weighing 0.82 carats and its petals are pave-set with near-colourless diamonds with subtle green peridots to the stem and leaf.
Hallelujah! Bring on the daffodils!

I love this piece! Mona
Just got my toenails painted daffodil yellow to celebrate spring. When it was 35 degrees this morning, I was thrilled to see sunshine on my feet.
