I’m not usually into ‘awareness jewelry’ at all.  Like ribbons, and stuff, it just generally turns me off.  With rare exceptions.  But the green butterfly is a symbol for gastroparesis, for some reason (butterflies in stomach? green bile? that’s all I can think of) and I really liked this ring.  It feels fragile, like I’m not sure how long it will last, especially since it’s three-dimensional and I don’t always know where my hands go.  But as long as it lasts, I like it. Someday I would like to see if Anne or someone else I know who can do that sort of thing, could design and build me some piece of jewelry in the shape of a tiny metal feeding tube or something, but in the absence of that, this will have to do.
