Well, it’s been a journey.
From being found in an old cardboard box, complete with desiccated bugs, at a deceased estate auction to disappearing for a while, presumed lost, to taking up residence, uncomfortably, in a preloved setting cos I’m a value add gal to a final tweak to make her look better.
With her weird shape obviously cut to maximise carat weight and a couple of nicks to her table (to this day I still shudder when I remember my enthusiasm shaking the rusted shut tin that held her, a sister, other relatives and many friends) she isn’t exactly a beauty queen but she has been a surprise, a shock, a sadness, a bit of a disappointment and finally a treasure of mine.
