I have been making customized greetings card for different shops around the metro. I usually get inspiration from simple things like the Logo Design of different companies and advertisements. I also make Business Card Design for a printing company. My most recent project is Packaging Design for a toy company. Sometimes I just go out, look at the surroundings and there, floods of design for my work will flow naturally.
My birth stone is opal and I find the gem nice looking and it’s iridescence fascinating. And since I learned it was my birth stone, it had become my favorite amorphous mineral color and accessory as well. I specifically favor the Koroit Opal, I have a genuine opal and CZ ring and a magical memories cluster opal ring which I used inter changeably on every occasion. My mother gave me an opal spray ring as a birthday present, she knows how I value the gem now. On our garden, I put a cozy solar opal lily stake, it has a bronze finish and a striking opalescent glass shade, and everytime I go to my room’s terrace,I could see the stake amidst our garden shining enchantingly.
They say a woman with a one or two diamond rings means that she is engaged and her boyfriend bought her that very expensive ring. But not all women with sparkling diamonds are engaged. True that most engagement rings are studded with diamonds but in my case, I bought a diamond ring as a gift for being a tough woman I have become. Therefore, I don’t need a boyfriend to buy me an expensive stone, I can afford it myself.
Having a teenage daughter might be quite tougher than I expected. With all the weekends sleep over, movies, cellphone accessories, micro mini skirts, hanging blouses, curfews, latest gadgets, extra allowance and a plea for a driver’s license, I sometimes find myself wondering how to get through with her. Though a compromise of keeping an excellent grades for all the benefits she’s enjoying, still I don’t feel at ease with the changes she has been going through. Last week I almost passed out when I saw a couple of diamond nose rings on her pretty nose. I let it go after she had presented her report card with no less than A+ on all her subjects. My husband said, he saw a lot of teenagers with pierces ears and noses and it’s just fine, she will outgrown the fad. My heart still aches. I was shocked one day when she came home with a cartilage earrings, she said she keeps the pearls and crystal earrings I gave her and she will use them when she will apply for a job.
Maybe I was an old fashion mom and I am caught in the maze of bringing up a child in a new generation. Good thing my husband understands beyond what I can comprehend and he often explains to me, we need to trust our daughter and sometimes give in, all the while she has been performing well in the university. I tried to keep that in mind when I saw the gold body jewelry she has when she left for school. No matter what she looks like, she will still be my baby.
When I was in high school, I used to collect accessories that were color green. My favorite was my sensational green earrings, I do also have different cheap crystal jewelry that were all in color green. Most of the time after school, I would go to different jewelry stores and look at the emerald jewelrys on display. Looking at them made me happy. Since our family are not well of during those times, I needed to be contented with green colored jewelry and just imagine they are emeralds. I did also collect clippings from an old fashion magazine, where the models are wearing emeralds. It has been my dream to have atleast one emerald ring or earrings.
When I was in college, I worked part time in a jewelry shop. And I enjoyed everyday I spent in the shop. I was a customer sales representative back then. So eventually, everyday I got to see a lot of emeralds. The most saleable were the emerald earrings like the emerald expressions earrings. Also one of the customer’s favorite was the chocolate diamonds mystery ring, it looked very elegant and enchanting.I feel happy for my customers every time I see the glow in their eyes when they fit a ring of a bracelet. I often wonder when will my eyes glow when I fit my own emerald ring.
Our lives have different twist of fate. You will never know what the future will hold. After graduating from college, the company got me permanently as a manager. I was able to afford to buy my very first emerald elegance jewelry on my first salary. Every year then, I make it a point to buy an emerald jewelry, it has been my goal. After almost five years, I have a collection of different emerald rings. On my seventh year in the company, the owner gave me a yuletide treasure emerald ensembles along with a higher position. Now my jewelry box is almost filled with green gems and all of them are genuine emerald. I still keep my cheap green crystals, because they remind me of a youthful dream that have become a reality.
