It was a weekend afternoon when the ladies decided to meet for some lunch. The driver was early so I figured a short stroll in the mall wouldn't hurt anyone...
A hour later, I found myself in an old dusty shop with a tiny old Indian lady selling some hand made quilts and cushions. It started with a diamond ring that I was wearing... after comparing rings and exchanging tips on cleaning jewelry, she took out a stash of rings and bracelets from a tiny drawer in her shop.
When I saw it, I felt like I was in love. Tiny though it may be, this is a kashmir cabochon sapphire set with diamonds, said to from the Victorian age. I couldn't bear leaving that poor thing in the shop and now, I am happy to say that it has found a new home amidst my other babies.
