I know I've pointed out that I'm a sap and a sucker for love, but if you didn't believe me before, you will now. During my sophomore year I decided that I wanted to get a class ring because 1) I wanted something to represent my high school years and who I am/was &2)I just love rings. Deciding on what to put on this ring took me forever, I couldn't decide because once I did, that would finalize it and there would be no turning back, as if it's the end of the world. I'm over-dramatic like that. There has NEVER been a time where someone has asked to see my ring and NOT asked about it. I'm pretty sure I've explained it about 3 million times and each time I get embarrassed doing so.
The first side says Romeo with my graduation year, facing away/outwards.
The side that faces inward towards me says &Juliet with a palette.
&engraved inside is my name.
The story behind my ring goes like this:
Freshman year I fell in love with the play by William Shakespeare, Romeo &Juliet. The way it was written and the words spoken between the two lovers and their admiration for each other just took my heart. It is the root of most love stories today. That's one reason but the next reason is more of why I decided to go with Romeo &Juliet. This ring is worn by me at all hours of everyday. It's sort of always there to remind me that I deserve nothing less than a Romeo. Someone who has an intense passion and love for me as Romeo did for Juliet. It reminds me that true love is something so rare and special that its more than worth waiting for. There's no need to jump from guy to guy. This ring reminds me to be patient. Therefore the Romeo side faces outwards to represent that Romeo is out there in this world while Juliet faces me. I chose a ruby as the stone because: my birthstone is a diamond and diamonds are no fun, my favorite color it red, &lastly red symbolizes passion and love. Oh gosh, I'm getting embarrassed just typing this.
Anyone could have gotten their mascot and school name on the sides but I wanted my ring to mean something more to me.
Adieu,
Rosy
P.s. If you're wondering, the palette represents my passion for art. Whether it be visual, performance, you name it. My life is dedicated to art.
