Rising Star ring, bague étoile en volume

I have soldered the star on a silver band. The band itself is patterned with 8 little stars. To do so I have created a stamp out of steel rod. Since living in Hong Kong, I am more aware of the symbolic meaning attributed to numbers. Eight means prosperity.

L’étoile est soudée sur un anneau décoré de 8 petites étoiles poinçonnées. Le poinçon est fait maison. Depuis que je vis à Hong Kong, je suis plus sensible à la signification magique des symboles et des chiffres. Le huit est symbole de prospérité.

  4. Yes, I can guess.
    I was born in Nice, France and the local language (Nissart - Occitan) is very similar.

  5. I did not know Occitan is still spoken in Nice. Is the same root. It makes me hope that I can understand in Catalan
