onyx

My parents bought me this necklace in 2008, in Rome, while we were on a family trip in Italy. I remember making such a fuss and demanding that they not buy me anything because I was convinced I wouldn't ever wear it. And it's true, the little boutique did have a lot of big, long, bulky jewellery that just didn't fit. Then I found this - a relatively short chain made of white gold heart-shaped links, studded with black onyx pendants. It was so unlike anything else in the place. Dad said, "We're buying it for you and I don't care how much it costs. I want you to have something to remember this trip by and to remember us by."

I wear it almost every day. :)




P.S. This was shot with my 55-250mm lens. I don't possess a macro lens (*yet* :D) so I just used the telephoto lens, fully zoomed in, and stood a few metres away. xD

P.P.S. This is the 4th day in a row I've shot something within the bounds of my room. I promise some outside shots come the weekend!

P.P.P.S. I've finally progressed from 1% to 2%! Yay!
That's a gorgeous necklace. I love onyx also, very jealous :)

Also jealous of the fact that everyone has amazing cameras... and I just have a silly old Nikon coolpix.

It's gorgeous.

Meesa, do not feel bad, for all I use is a silly point and shoot, too. Sony CyberShot.

Beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous piece of jewellery!
Am having the same issue with the lack of macro lens! But hey, we're able to work around it, squee! I actually picked up some 'close up/macro' filters on ebay that have done the trick for the time being!
