Status: offline 		Ring of my father. This is silver and gold ring with a blue sapphire set in a bowl shaped mount. The design is of the cup of life with a withering flower in its base. The withering flower represents the end of one generation and the blue sapphire the seeds of the next, bright, shiny and new.  The band is in three parts to represent the spiritual Trinity. The four petals in gold are the four seasons of a full life. Sapphires are assonated with the eye, wisdom and power of Heaven, represent hear the eternal soul.

Yeah, it's exactly like that. Only completely different.
I've enjoyed just about as much of this as I can stand.
