...for being able to finish another collection. Thankful also to those physically and spiritually present at the launch. Of course, among many other things to feel so blessed about.

Inset has to be one of my favorite pieces in the Deux Yeux collection. Its a necklace of lemon topaz and honey quartz with an arabesque gold detail in pave of white sapphires strung on faceted spinel beads. The yellow of lemon topaz is actually a natural color. In fact, people back in the day almost automatically labeled any yellow stone as topaz much as they would any blue stone sapphires. The now popular blue color of topaz has only been a relatively recent development with the help of man; one has to first heat treat and then irradiate white topaz in order to obtain the signature hue. But its nice to see large, natural specimens once in a while.

Available in Firma Greenbelt 3.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!
