GR translation: hands heavy with rings of all colors, opacities and uglinesses

[Bekah]

No,  I think in this case the rings are jewelry because the other things in that sentence lend themselves to that idea -  teeny plucked eyebrows,  streaked hair and Chanel suit,  flowers. etc. and lots of costume jewelry rings on her fingers.     Think Morticia Adams.

What Slothrop will be leaving Greta Erdmann to is not so clear. Along the Havel in Neubabelsberg she waits, less than the images of herself that survive in an indeterminate number of release prints here and there about the Zone, and even across the sea. . . . Every kind technician who ever threw a magenta gel across her key light for her has gone to war or death, and she is left nothing but God’s indifferent sunlight in all its bleaching and terror. . . . Eyebrows plucked to pen-strokes, long hair streaked with gray, hands heavy with rings of all colors, opacities and uglinesses, wearing her dark prewar Chanel suits, no hat, scarves, always a flower, she is haunted by Central European night-whispers that blow, like the skin curtains of Berlin, more ghostly around her fattening, wrecked beauty the closer she and Slothrop draw. . . .
