My husband said to me yesterday, “My God, you are so lazy!” (when I told him that I had been working from home until 2pm before going into the office). I was like, “Yeah, I know!” Like how great is that?
I thought about that conversation today when I tired on these Chrysoprase earrings for the first time. My ear piercings had been giving me trouble since I only rarely wear earrings, so I started wearing a tiny pair 24/7 to keep the holes open. I am too lazy to take them out to try on the Chrysoprase in the first hole, but look how pretty and bright green they are! I think Chrysoprase green is now my new favorite shade of green.

I never go into the office! Work smarter, not harder!

The green alhambras make me wish for more stone selections! I would love to see jade alhambras, I'm sure it would be a hit in Asian market.
 
I love the way you wear the Lotus ring with the petals on your index finger.
You must also be one of the lucky ones that can wear the same ring on different fingers.
The ring looks gorgeous on you!
Thanks, and yes you are absolutely right: I can wear this ring (size 53) closed on the middle fingers, or in the open position on index + middle fingers in both hands. It creates different vibes. I love this ring!

BEYOND stunning on you, gf! The green pops so much against your dark hair! :love:

Try the vintage market. VCA used to produce Alhambra in jade. However, every piece I've seen was a very light, celadon-like green. Nothing vivid like the chrysoprase.
 
@nicole0612 I was wondering how does the colour compare with your beautiful malachite pieces? I just can’t stop thinking about greens (or adding some colours) after I saw your chrysoprase. I am doubting if malachite comes close to it or maybe blue agate due to translucency, TIA :smile:
Hi, they look similar to malachite in photos in my dark jewelry case, but in reality it is a bit brighter and more intense green, especially in the light, due to the transparency. I snapped some quick photos as I was heading out the door to work, but the intensity of the stone really comes out in the sunlight. I also promised some photos with rock crystal to compare the translucent stones, so here’s a quick photo.

Finally visited the new SF boutique today, they were reasonably well stocked for the grand opening and I tried on this lapis BTF butterflies for fun, size 49.

Love the intense blue of lapis & the tiny gold flecks and shimmer in the stone , my photos don’t do it justice but I had so much fun admiring its details!
