Looked for a hugs emoji but there isn't one, so "sending" hugs your way.

Thank you, Holly! Yes, I think I need a “cuddle” right now

This ring.......

It has its own paparazzi of flash bulbs & it is stunning! I can't believe you are selling her!

I am sure somebody will snap her up & I hope she stays within the family here. Dust to you!

Ok, I’m laughing and crying at the same time reading your comment,
@Alex T I’m officially crazy!!

Is anyone else tearing apart their sofa cushions looking for $31k? Just me?
It is stunning! I wish I could buy it but we are building a new house.

Kristy!!! So good to *see* you again!! Thank you, thank you for the compliment! It means so much to me coming from you

Quite frankly, all the very kind and loving comments are making me so emotional. I’m crying as I’m typing this. I don’t even know why...

Awww, HUGS! This is a supportive community and our jewels are like extensions of us...I'm not surprised you're feeling the feelings!

You know we all wish the best for you and whatever will bring you happiness.

So here's a big virtual {{{hug}}} from me, too!

Just to refresh everyone’s memory, here she is...

WOW! Just WOW!!! Simply beautiful! So Classy.

Thank you, @KristyDarling I took sometime to reply in order to collect my thoughts before doing so.

You’re so right about our jewels being “extensions of ourselves.” I really never thought of it that way though. Mei has been part of that journey that I was very angry to have been forced upon to take. But she played an enormous part in bringing a smile to my face again. I think that explains the overwhelming sadness I’ve been feeling lately...it’s like leaving a piece of myself behind, a piece you know you have to let go.

But like all journeys, there has to be a destination, right? And I think I’ve reached the point I was meant to be in in this chapter of my life. Because how else can I explain my need to “shed” everything I have or own. Weird, I know...but every once in a while, I do go through this inexplicable purging stage.

Apologies for the emotional response, Kristy...it‘s funny that LT is down. It’s as if Mei doesn’t want me to create a listing, lol...yet.
But if anything, I’m more sure that I want her to go on her next journey with hopefully another PSer who’ll love and enjoy her. For now, I will gaze upon her and think about the many sparkly ways she made me smile.

Thank you so much for your support! I’ve always admired you and enjoyed your *company* here on PS, Kristy! And you as well, @diamondseeker2006, who urged me to do an SMTB post on Mei (I‘ve already reached out to Neil- I will go that route). That goes for you, too, all lovely ladies on PS! Thank you

Beautifully said, dear friend...tears in my eyes. I'm so glad Mei was there to pick you up during such a sorrowful time. She was the right piece at the right time, and how lucky we were that you were kind enough to share her with us. I remember the butterflies followed by my thrilled squeals when you first unveiled her! Totally iconic, unadulterated, sheer beauty. She lifted me up, too!

I'm glad you're listening to your heart and inner voice. It can be so liberating to simplify and to move on to the next chapter. I know it's not without sadness, because we do love our jewels and what they symbolize, but letting go = embracing hope and optimism for the future. There is so much beauty and love and life to be had! Whether that takes the form of another jewel or something else entirely remains to be seen, but that's part of the miracle of this thing called life. HUGS, sweet Maita!! (and I know Mei will go to a loving home and will make a lucky PSer very happy!)

Goodness me! Here I go again...being emotional and all. And it’s not because it’s that time of the month- I’m post menopausal!!

It’s because you totally get me, Kristy!! And your sweet words of kindness and encouragement make me feel so hopeful for what lies ahead, even if it’s full of uncertainty. For so long I’ve felt so lost and without purpose. I still do...but when I think of the future now, I feel equal parts dread, excitement and curiosity. At least, that’s how I feel at this moment. But as you’ve succinctly and beautifully put it, it’s part of the miracle called life.

Thanks again for appreciating Mei, Kristy...and your kindness. I appreciate it more than you know. Profoundly. Truly.
