I, too, am not what's known as a big jewelry-wearer, but I do wear my aforementioned CP-gifted necklace every single day, along with an awesome amber ring I bought in honor of my great-grandmother.

I have a vague memory of a story of a userping king who put on the crown he'd stolen, and it became first red hot, and then white hot (and stuck to his head, so he couldn't tear it off) and either killed him horribly or turned him undead, or some such thing. And who in their right mind wants the job of king? I'd advise everyone to avoid crowns, even if you're not a userper.Hilari Bellhttp://hilaribell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456668544693248039.post-21632635620919688452013-01-21T18:44:43.193-05:002013-01-21T18:44:43.193-05:00Saw this on Ellen's FB feed and had to comment...Saw this on Ellen's FB feed and had to comment as I only yesterday met a jewelry designer, and boy do some of her pieces have STORIES to them. http://www.etsy.com/shop/addiewuensch I rarely remember to wear what little jewelry I have, so the synchronicity was too strong to ignore!

SMALL PERSONS WITH WINGS has a moonstone ring that destroys all illusions--a mixed blessing. Put that in the "handle with care" pile.<br /><br />It's based on a ring in Charlemagne fables--you put it in your mouth (ick) to see through enchantments. It came in handy when a bunch of knights had been turned into trees. <br /><br />Also, Laini Taylor's DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE has a wishbone charm that helps the heroine remember who she is, which turns out to be the most mixed of blessings.
