I was asked to make a signet ring, for a man, with a stone in it. This is a star sapphire, bordered by white gold, set in a red gold signet ring.
When I was a freshman in high school, I started spending a lot of time at Ephraim's bookstore in downtown Worcester. That's where I discovered a rack of the Signet Classics, paperbacks with stylish bordered covers and just enough information on the back of the book to introduce the book. For the next few years, I bought one every time I was there, and I was usually well into the book by the time I got off the #30 bus to Columbus Park. My mother would often point out that we owned a perfectly good hardcover copy of "Great Expectations" or whatever, but I didn't care. Those hardcovers just didn't sell themselves to me the way the downtown Signet Classics did, and for so many books, the Signet Classics cover will always be the image in my mind when the title is mentioned.
