It's been a while ....
M set the topic this week, to show a piece of jewellry that has special significance for you.
Mine is a ring I got when my son was born. He was the first baby, and because he was a boy I thought I might like something with a blue stone in it.
However, when we got to the jewellers and I saw this particular ring, I fell in love with it instantly! The stone is called tanzanite and is the most unusual shade of purple; not pink/purple like an amethys
t would be, but a fabulous blue/violet purple - just the colour of my new baby's eyes.
A photograph of my ring does not do the stone justice, as you cannot see and fully appreciate the colour, so I have posted this picture of a tanzanite instead.

I haven't participated in Fun Monday for a long time either so thanks for the motivation.
Your ring is beautiful and holds such priceless memories - love Judyx
What a beautiful color, to match your Baby's eyes.

How close are you now to your 10000post? I think you need to give us a clue so that we know when to increase our input!!
I think I will remain anonymous in case you think I am trying to curry favour!!
Tanzanite is a beautiful stone and your son is also a beauty.
Ali...wow. That stone is absolutely gorgeous! And a lovely story to match :-) Thanks for playing this week!
interesting all i got when my baby was born was a csection scar--that i didnt want!
Ah, lil mouse, I got one of those too. Two actually.
Well, in all honesty ... three if you count the hysterectomy scar!
It's beautiful. That is one of my favorite stones.
Yes, you're right, shade of tanzanite is really amazing! And your baby's eyes has it?! Oh my...how beautiful...
Happy Fun Monday!
Ali, I love tanzanite. I just gave my tanzanite ring to one of my daughters for her 38th b'day, the other daughter got a ruby ring for her 40th b'day. I stopped wearing them, so some one else should be able to.
that is a beautiful stone! Now that I am done having kids I'd love to get a ring or necklace that had a stone for each child.
I have a pair of tanzanite earings that I hardly wear. Since you reminded me about tanzanite, I will be sure to dig them out! Very nice post.
That's a very beautiful stone - what a great colour. Thanks for sharing your Fun Monday with us :)
That is a gorgeous blue - the same color as MY baby's eyes too!
How nice to be able to wear this lovely stone every day and remember the happiness of your new baby. What memento do you have of your second child's birth?
That is a beautiful coloured stone.
