Easter bonnets? or Opals and rubies?

Around this time of year, girl dolls start thinking about Easter bonnets, or just dressing up in general. How about a little doll treasure?  Opal Lapo and Ruby Ybur, who sit on the bedroom dresser both feel a bit more "decked out" than the rest of the dolls. They have their very own semi precious rings!  Here is a picture of the opal ring:

Ruby's ring is pretty much the same except she has a small ruby.  So where do you find such a tiny treasure?  Well, funny story - imagine an older-ish woman with a doll tucked under her arm walking thru the mall into a jewelry store.  But no, we need to go back further.  These two dolls are the New York Dolls from Gail Wilson's online class. The original doll that these dolls are a reproduction of has a real ring of her own, so of course my dolls made their desire known for each of them to have a ring.  After they were finished  - including clothing - (you can't take a naked doll in the mall, she'll get arrested for indecent exposure), off we went to the jewelry store to look for a ring.  And the nice gentleman behind the counter didn't even crack a smile when we told him of our  request.  We were able to find a 14K jump ring that fit perfectly (1/4 inch) and the little elves in the back room of the store were able to take a small stud earring, pop off the setting and affix it to the jump ring.  Voila,  doll rings!
