So my anniversary approaches and my husband asked what I would like to receive as a gift from him. I mumbled something about jewelry made as reproductions of historically accurate pieces. He looked at me and said, "So, what, you like want me to buy you Joan of Arc's nipple ring? Cause you know that chick had one."

Lol

Somehow I've never imagined Joan of Arc as being one for piercings!! Maybe it was all the armour...

Your husband is a riot - nice one ...

You will keep us informed what the gift eventually turns out to be, won't you?

Little known fact of history: the real reason she was burned was because of a wardrobe malfunction.

Perhaps you should offer to get him a Prince Albert ring at the same time as you get yours done!

Ooo, Madeleine, saucy...lol!

I will let you know what the real gift is. He seems a little confused--poor guy.

Sorry, couldn't resist that one!

Well, it's not Joan's naughty tittie wear, but instead a 16th c English posey ring.

Simple, sweet, and, most importantly, historically accurate!

The ring, engraved with a interlacing pattern, is a copy of one in the British Museum. The inside reads Yovrs onli which is basically a Middle English Yours only. I love it!
