You can also share it with your friends on facebook or any other way, it's up to you :)

já sabes que gosto muito do teu trabalho ;) especialmente as orelhas.
mas destes dois tenho de escolher a ruina porque me lembra um conto de fadas, dos que costumava ler e imaginar quando era pequena :)

Aurea,
you know I'm a fan of yours! I love both of them. In fact, my friend saw this and loved the ruins ring, but if I were to pick one, I would pick the cherry blossom ring. It's so feminine and fits my Asian identity very well. This ring will attract attention, and I can them them about you *wink* when they ask!!!

Incrível, já tinha cumprido todos os requisitos por iniciativa própria e não tinha reparado no giveaway! É bom sinal :)

Gosto muito do "ruins" - adoro aneis que se destaquem, agrada-me a textura e a originalidade da composição e enquanto arquitecta é um tema que me atrai muito.

Espero ter sorte :)

Good job. How to say .... Le chocolat au poivre et l'aliénation de coups puissants. Tir dans le nez et d'excitation. I like.

Hello, Aurea and first of all congratulations for everything you do! I know it comes from the heart. Now, about the rings, the "White Cherry Blossom" would be the one closer to my soul.

My what a contest! First of all: I LOVE giveaways - GREAT! So now... for my RUINS entry :)even though I don't classify to enter, joining in is fun:

This ring is a striking piece of jewelry. Beyond it's sheer class as an object and as a design idea, it hits me as more than a simple ring to decorate my fingers with.
The delicate but solid crafting instantly brings many pictures to my mind:
The small window in the middle looks like the last point of a long lost outlook, maybe standing for something we hold on to even after all the motivations around it have fallen to flat ruins and we should have long moved on to new things - either in our emotional life or in our relations to others.
On a lighter thought, it also reminds me of the keyhole of a treasure chest, something I connect to mediaval castles. It can open us up again to long lost and burried ideas or feelings we have and get us on a new spree to dig further into our wishes.

Whew, so much for that, hahaha.
