I only really buy when reduced. Hopefully these should last me a good 5 years or so. If they don't, I'll send them back on fire.

Only 2/3 of it is holy
My mum gave me her Wedgewood ring that her dad gave her when she turned 18, so when I turned 18 I bought myself a necklace. I also wear a small medal with Mary on one side, and the Apparition of the Virgin to St. Bernadette, and a charm my favourite aunt gave me at first confession, of a dove in a wreath.

So if I get hit by a bus, God will forgive me :)

the other 1/3 is Classical :)
