I was cleaning out the closet for a Purple Heart clothes donation and one of my favorite all-time Macchiarini rings slipped off my finger (I think, while doing this) and despite Herculean effort, I could not find the ring.

The shank of the ring was an original Macchiarini design that I liked, and I challenged Danny to create the World’s Smallest-Ever “Dot” motif for it. It was cool, and I miss it.

And so I needed (“needed”) to replace it. And if the old one ever appears… well, then, I will have two of them.
