Interesting points, CelticNoodle and Barleywine
Barleywine, it took me a minute to let it sink in, but I must admit I find it a pleasant change from the just, well, ring. I still see a ring, but it's not like an engagement ring or some other ring for a finger, which makes one think romance. Even though I could still see the Ring as a contract in business, the fact it looked like a ring for a finger limited it as far as an image, although not for my meanings. I do understand your point, but I have to say, the more I see it, the more I like it's unique.
CelticNoodle, I see we are thinking along the same lines. Nice to see a RING in a Lenormand that is still obviously a ring, but doesn't just allude to romance as far as an image.
