I never knew a single object could mean so much to one person. Something so small and simple, such as a ring. I chose this subject because it was not like anyone else’s. This so called ring is one of the most important things I own. Not because it was expensive, beautiful or came from a store like Tiffany’s, but because it was given to me by the most important people in my life, my family.   It was my grandmothers and then my mothers and now it is mine.
