Sterling Silver

Some of us wear simple pewter bracelets, others many gold hoops. Some of us wear the love of another in the form of a diamond wedding ring, shining in the happy light. Some have dragons coiled around strong fingers, next to the Irish Claddath, a billboard of our "Vacancy" or "No Vacancy". Some wear the rule of a kingdom snugly upon their neck, clutching it tight with wary fingers. Some wear the death of hundreds on their head, dark and disastrous. We as a people wear strange jewelry.
