Colombian Scrapbook – Finished!

Filed under: Crafty — JeniQ @ 4:37 pm

I feel like Ele. It’s been just over 12 months and I finally finished my scrapbook from my trip to Colombia in February 2006.

It’s so strange. I can remember it like it was yesterday, but it also feels years away. It’s hard to believe it’s only been 12 months. I’m so sad I haven’t been able to see my friend Alba since then. I wish she could move to the states. We have such a good time together. I wish I could go back to Colombia and explore more of the country with her, and I wish I could take Dave and show him everything I saw while I was there. *Sigh*

At least I have these great pictures to look back on!

Romancing the Stone

Filed under: Alba,Gifties — JeniQ @ 12:09 pm
My good friend Alba got me an emerald. I am amazed that she did so – the cost, the time, the worry, the getting it to me, wow. I can’t thank her enough for her thoughtfulness and trouble. If it were cut glass, I couldn’t love it more.
Recently, I took my little treasure to Johnson’s Jeweler’s off of Edward’s Mill to have it set. Below are pictures of the setting I choose. I picked yellow gold because it seems truer for an emerald than white gold or platinum. I also liked the scroll detail on the sides – it seems reminiscent of Pre-Colombian art, fitting for my stone. Lastly, I like the partial bezel setting. It’s safer for both me and the emerald.
