The amethyst I brought to Karen Karch had been buried in a drawer. I'm a dedicated fan of KK and have loved her potent and beautiful work since the old days of PUSH... And suddenly I knew that if she and Deme had an idea of how to reconfigure this big but quiet stone, I would fall in ring-design-love with it -- and wear it on my hand every day. That's exactly what happened. I mean, for years I've been crazy about KK's magnificent earrings and necklaces. And with this dark silver and purple ring, I see her touch and hear my dad's voice. Not kidding. It's magical.
