The Onyx Graveyard

Fragments :: Loftus // DC // No flashYou would THINK I’d learned to be careful after all these years of living with a ceramic tiled floor. After already smashing two black onyx rings. After spending months searching high and low for replacements, trawling online boutiques and making countless tearful phone calls (I exaggerate slightly). But no.

Yesterday I did it again. I just let that ring s l i p from my grasp and drop to the floor, and in those last milliseconds before it crash-landed and smashed into fragments, I felt that familiar resignation stealing over me.

Happily I opened a drawer in my jewellery box and pulled out a replacement, tenderly placing it with my other favourite rings on the stand. I put the fragments in its place with the others – a little pile of shards to make an onyx graveyard.

Now I’d better get back online to find a replacement for the replacement, because sure as check I’ll be needing it soon.
