#silver smithing

I don’t know when this thought struck me...but at some point in the recent past...not the immediate past (a day or two?) or the near past (assuming the near past is anywhere from a week to a year or two) I thought to myself ‘what sort of rings would Laura Glue and Edmund have for their wedding? My immediate thought concerning this idea was ‘oh! Oh! What if Edmund still having the skills of a Silversmith (which he does right? Or did he just pick up blacksmithing from Madoc?)...what if he made their rings? Because of course they’d be Silver right? Probably have some fancy runes of some sort of importance added in by...Poe or someone? Whether they have any actual function outside Aesthetics I’m not sure. They’d have significance surely...but I’m not sure if ....wait. I think I have it? I was wondering at some point what sort of jewels the rings would have...or if they’d just be simple bands with runes. But...the silver made my Edmund...so Laura Glue would have a hand in making them somehow? I debated on what sort of gems would work. Diamonds are boring...the inlay should hold some significance. Like how when you make a class ring you tend to choose your birth stone or some such. I admittedly don’t know what Edmund and Laura Glue’s birth stones are (come to think of it...what are their birthdays?)...so what stones are Important in the series. There’s ruby..like the Ruby Armor of Tai Shen... Perhaps some kind of Indigo Gemstone? But then two things just hit me at this moment. One of two things. Either an Inlay (Inlet?) of Cavorite...or...I don’t know...Pearls made of Pixie Dust? Could that be a thing that happens? Would it be possible? Would it result in flight?Or maybe Thimbles are involved? All I know is I’m pretty sure Edmund would make the rings...what part would be created by Laura Glue...I’m not sure. If anyone has any thoughts on the matter, please do share. Make of this what you will. Al, the Chronographing Cottager and Prince of Naming.

Till Death Do Us Part.

Stay tuned for more stuff! Waiting on some quartz crystal beads to work with alongside the glass!
