aquamarine

trust me, the colour scheme is mostly aquamarine.

this was gifted to me by one of my high school co-alumni when i last visited the old country. i wore it in one of the alumni gatherings i attended, if only to show the giver my appreciation. i normally don't wear big beads like this one. it looks good, just not on me.

today was a long day. too much work, and quite a few personal disappointments, and a couple of bad news. i think i deserve a big bowl of ice cream. and i can't believe i have no chocolate ice cream, what is the world coming to!!!!! well, pistachio isn't bad, is it? almost similar colour to the necklace but the necklace is in black and white so you wouldn't know it.

if i haven't made it to your albums that is because i am a lazy ass. and i will tell you my disappointments in the near future but the bad news i shall keep to myself, for now.

stay well and stay negative, kind folks.

You have a wonderful skill about photographing jewelry. I have often tried and it is not easy to show the detail but you seem to excel at it! This is a beautiful piece and I feel you would look very elegant in it!

Very pretty necklace!! Sorry about the bad news! Hope the ice cream helps.

So sorry you've had such a tough day. Ice cream may not erase disappointments and bad news, but it can't hurt. Really too bad you don't have chocolate. Nice photo of the gift from HS friend. I'm also one who can't wear big jewelry like earrings that look fabulous on another.

I also can’t wear big jewellery, this piece looks very interesting.

Excellent detail photo.
Just hang in: you can't see the stars if it isn't dark (they say)...

A treasured gift indeed, how wonderful to still have it. My advice to you: Be kind to yourself and go find some chocolate ice cream immediately.

I'm like you Vikki. I like the look of big jewellery, but it's not for me. Sorry hear about you tough day. Sending hugs your way xx

Sorry to hear things haven't been going well. As I good friend of mine reminds me The best is yet to come

Some folks can wear this oversized type of jewelry and look smashing. I always felt like it was too much on me, sort of like gold shoes.

I'm sorry for all the unfortunate news.

sounds like your day really sucks but you still managed to do the photography and write well. I like the way you composed the shot. If I have a bad day - I sometimes can not come near this project. I hope some of the things that have happened are recoverable. Wish I could send over a big dish of tripple chocolate ice cream. Take care.

Beautifully photographed!

The composition of this is really nice. Like the mystery of what is in the negative space.
