Ring in the New Year With A Radiant Vintage Ring!

I know it's only the second day of Christmas, but really, is there anyone out there who wants to receive two turtle doves? I say cut to the chase and get to the real goodies- those five golden rings! Of course, when The Twelve Days of Christmas first appeared as a children's book back in the 1780s, the famous "five golden rings" are rumored to have had nothing to do with jewelry. (Some say they represented the gold rings on a pheasant's neck.) In any case, it didn't take long for men to figure out that women were way more interested in the 14-carat kind of gold wrapped in beautiful packages. In today's economic climate, however, five golden rings does seem a bit excessive, so I'll be happy to settle for just one of these fabulous finds.
