Bumping (My Heart)

Three seconds long...

 

#MacroMondays

#WearAndTear

 

The battered glass stone of a steel tension ring that originally belonged to my Mum magrit k.. At one point, it got a little too small for her, and since it's made of steel there's no such thing as widening it easily like a silver or gold ring, so she gave it to me :) My Mum must have bumped against something one or more times while wearing the ring which resulted in this cracked dent that, to my delight, almost looks like a 💗 when seen in close-up; there's also some wear and tear visible on the brushed steel.

 

And yes, this glass stone is "three seconds" in diameter. Due to the lack of a close-at-hand ruler (and a distinct laziness in fetching it from the desk), I used the seconds marks of my automatic Citizen watch to measure the stone's diameter. The three seconds translate into 4 mm/0.157 inches.

 

Technical info: single shot illuminated by two LED lamps (left and right) and my LED Lenser flashlight set on "Spot", handheld from above to highlight the heart-shaped "Wear and Tear".

 

HMM, Everyone! I'll catch up with you later!
