This is a ring that I got just last week at Vons. I really like multi-colored objects, especially clothes. This ring was perfect for what I wanted to get. I always sit next to someone in my Religious Studies class who has a sweet candy-looking, multi-colored "mint" ring, like one of the mints from weddings or Chick-Fil-A. So I went to Vons to check out their rings and prices. I got this gem a couple of days later.
This is definitely my favorite ring. Whenever I want I can jostle it and watch the light reflect off of all the pretty colors. There are twelve different "stones," but only six different colors. Revelation 21:19-20 explains that the foundation stones of the city walls are decorated with every kind of jewel, and then lists twelve precious stones (one for each of the Twelve Tribes). For the sake of displaying God's creativity, here are each of them (and linked is a picture):
Jasper, Sapphire, Chalcedony, Emerald, Onyx, Carnelian, Chrysolite, Beryl, Topaz, Chrysoprase, Jacinth, Amethyst
**Cautionary Note: some of these pictures were taken from "healing" and "superstitious" websites; they are idolatrous, and I do not support any of them in the least**
Some of these stones come in multiple colors, so I did not show them all to you. And depending on the translation, some stones are given different names (I used the New Century Version). But regardless, you see how diverse and spectacular is God's creation. What I think is really cool is that these stones are not what we would call "abundant," but God uses them to make the walls of the New Jerusalem! This ring reminds me that I am a citizen of Heaven.
In closing, here is the five-day Bijoux Week summary:
