Shopping for Leny: A quick guide

• Jewelry: It's a gift I can carry with me every day. I wear bracelets, necklaces, stud earrings (no dangle-y earrings), rings, and enamel pins. My ring sizes range from 7 to 14 (larger sizes from 10-14 are great), and I wear midi rings, size 5. I like pieces that incorporate wood, semi-precious stones (eg: turquoise), and other things found in nature (fossils, shells, etc). My favourite motifs are things like keys, geometric shapes, feathers, trees, mountains, antlers, insect wings, and other natural elements. (A nice place to buy necklaces or bracelets from is The Giving Keys)
