What's Up With the Ring?

It's also not so unusual for an FSU woman to wear rings on every finger if she has enough rings and a jewelry fetish. Rasp, you seem to be a bit paranoid. With that said she appears to be a very interesting and attractive lady. Somebody should "bust'a move"

My thoughts are, when in Russia do as the Russians. We have talked about living there for six months each year and then back here the other half year. Maybe we'll switch hands on the plane each way? Kto znayet?

Happened to see the most recent profiles on Hearts Desire, and noticed that this lady is wearing a ring. And not just any ring, one with a stone.

Kind of prompts some questions.......are these pictures old? Is this a ring used to "ward off the wolves" in public? .....Bottom line is, why is a lady looking for a husband use a photo where she has a ring with a rock in it?

Sure, it might happen once in a while that a guy gives a girl a ring when proposing a marriage, but there is no tradition like in the US. Generally, if there is no wedding band, there is nothing that can tell you just by looking at a woman's hand if she is free or not.
Russian women like wearing rings. Those rings might even have rocks in them (real or not, nobody can tell just by looking at a picture). It does not mean that a woman is taken. It might just be a family heirloom that she is proudly wearing.
If you want to find out if a ring means something, compliment her on a ring, and ask if she got it herself or is it somebody's present. Most likely it has nothing to do with a boyfriend, although who knows.

Do you think writing more than one thru this small agency is playing with fire?
if I'm prying just let me know.
