Four Rings

In my life I have always been somewhat of a materialistic girl. Shopping has always been an enjoyable experience as well as the shoppers high I get from purchasing things I desire. But even after I buy everything I could possibly want they never end up having the same meaning as my rings. I have four rings that I never take off with the exception of basketball games. these possessions may be small and insignificant in the scheme of things but they give me that feeling of identity. I have one ring that is silver with a gold cross, this ring is my extent of my religion. I have never been a religious person and never enjoyed wearing a cross around my neck,  but the ring is like a piece of art i get to wear and it symbolizes my faith. Another ring is one my brother gave to me for christmas a long time ago. It is my birthstone, aquamarine, surrounded by beautiful diamonds set in a white gold band. It is one of the most precious rings because my brother is one of the most important people in my life, and when I look down at it I think of him. The ring on my wedding ring finger is a very special ring I got in Hawaii. It has my name written in Hawaiian and on the inside its engraved with, "Maui 2008 love mom." This ring represents my love for travel as well as the experience I had in Hawaii with my mom. The last ring is an antique wedding band my mom was given by her mother, she gave it to me to wear years ago when I fell in love with it. These rings are not just possessions to me, they give me a sense of identity. Each one tells a story and holds a memory from life.
