Jewelry by Shannon says:Ahhh, what a beauty! Happy Birthday Sarah!
That stone looked familiar to me, it may be one that I picked up for Arja in Florida so that stone has really made the rounds.
Enjoy … what a nice present from your man! SLS

MoonBell says:That’s great! If I had disposable income, I’d totally be buying Arja out of stock… so how did your Ronald know to get something of hers for you? Is he just that good, or did you drop hints?

FaeryGoth Chick says:Glad you all like it! I am very good at dropping hints MoonBell
Thankfully, he is clever enough to take the bait lol
