It'd been months since Li had worn anything but working clothes, most of them very heavy, wind-resistant garments, all of them saturated with fine dust, all of them smelling slightly of dung fires and horse sweat. She didn't change before she left behind the people she'd come to love. Mongolians were simple, beautiful people who lived every day very close to the land, very close to their kinsmen, very close to the traditions of a thousand years. On the train back into China, Li pulled a pair of clean khaki trousers from a zippered storage bag, and she pulled them on with a fashionable but slightly wrinkled cotton blouse. Around her neck she strung this sterling silver necklace: circles, rings within rings, symbolizing the interconnectedness of life, she thought. When she arrived at the Chinese frontier, she saw another set of rings, multi-colored, symmetrical. She'd forgotten about the Olympics. When she reached Beijing, it couldn't have been more foreign. When she saw the stadium, she wished she was back on the steppe.
Like blowing bubbles in the park, wearing this spectacular sterling silver necklace is sure to make your day at least a little bit more fun. It features a cluster of circles – some smooth, some studded with diamond CZs – that bubble up toward your neck. But then there's a kick in the form of a princess cut CZ diamond, nestled inside the topmost circle just to keep you on your toes. The necklace is crafted of the finest .925 sterling silver and polished for a superior, long-lasting shine.
