I am usually good at reminding myself that things don't make you happy. I have been at my happiest when I was completely broke, unable to even scrounge up a few euros to buy an espresso in Spain when I was studying there. However, this ring is just so beautiful and perfect. Pearls in general are timeless and classic. I love the scene in Julie and Julia (the true story about a woman who cooks everyone of Julia Child's recipes in her French cookbook) where Julie's adorable husband gives her a string of pearls for her birthday because that was what Julia Child always wore. I have a long string of pearls that was my mom's that I love because each one is a different shape and shade of pink. A pearl on a ring seems so quintessentially elegant.
