A ring made in France between 1830-60, with the romantic hidden message 'je t'aime'.

About Me
- Lori
- By day (or, depending on the deadline, by night) I'm a Canadian collage illustrator. Since 2006, the automatism blog is where I share whatever I find inspiring, interesting, or simply beautiful in interiors, design, art, illustration and other creative fields.
The automatism atelier is a gallery for my limited edition fine art prints, one of a kind mixed media collage work and more.
My illustration website, with a portfolio of my published work.
The automatism vintage shop features books on art, design and other interesting things — and now vintage accessories, too.

Actually, it's linked to a game in France: to know if you love someone you take a daisy, tear the petals off, saying successively for each petal "I love you" "a little" "a lot" "I'm crazy for you" "I don't love you at all", until all the petals have been teared off. And the last thing you say is supposed to reveal how you feel about the person you're interested in.
That's what the ring is for: on the picture it's not written "I love you" but "I don't love you at all".
I guess you're supposed to start on a random flower and open all the little flowers to reveal how you feel.
