Even when I was young I had ugly hands-big knuckles and weak nails. Big carat rocks look tiny on my size 8 fingers. Plagued with fat earlobes too- so even 1 carat each studs are dwarfed by Dumbo ears. As I get older and my fingers become more arthritic, I am now focusing on pendants (alas the sun has as wreaked havoc on my chest and 'low hanging fruit' make me want to cover up) and bracelets. But the love of jewelry endures and I admire those pics with beautiful hands, nails and bling. Keep the photos coming as I so enjoy the pics.!
