Oups! I did like Bron357... well, nearly

[Snow White]

Yesterday I resigned my job I really didn’t like.
It was such a relief that I thought to offer myself a diamond to celebrate this decision.

PS is not just an addiction, it’s a way of life!

Well, the diamonds I would love to wear are definitely not reasonable, so I gave up.

I was as looking at an auction and found this gorgeous CS bunch.
I bid very little money and won the auction!

This might be only glass or plastic but I Love the colors and especially the octagon cut blue stone...

I will take a few days before I can look at it in person , but I am as excited as a small child the day before Christmas.

I also love the auction title: colored stones to be determined


Here in Germany we are in total lockdown since mid-December so it might take a bit of time before I can show it to my jeweler.

Anyway, this is nice food for brain as I am homeschooling my 4 children between 5 and 12 yo, and getting slowly nuts....[/ATTACH]

Congrats on being able to walk away from a job you don't like and stay at home with your children while they are home! That is a luxury not afforded to many. I so want to do the same, but have certain financial goals that I want to hit before I do so. I sympathize with the homeschool struggle! My 3 youngest are still doing it and it stinks!

As for your stones, they are pretty! I suspect the dark blues to be synthetic, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing! It's fun to try to figure it out and can be a nice distraction for your Mommy brain.

Uhhhh, my sympathy for homeschooling - we had that during first lockdown and I’m rather happy schools are open now. And congratulations on walking away from your job. What was it? You deserve a treat!!

Congratulations - on all fronts! Can't wait to hear your impression of the stones when they arrive

What a fun and pretty purchase! Love the colors! And good luck with the kids. Thank goodness mine are adults!
