Oh, what a sparkly post today, Aqua! I love how you have presented these beauties. Good job, sistah! I want them ALL.

I would so love to stay and play here but we are moving Jk's mom into her assisted living apartment today and, between Jk and myself and his brother, we have a full day of furniture moving and room decorating ahead of us.

Gotta run, but I wish you all a Fine day as you play among these gorgeous baubles.

The Spoonmaker's Diamond

 

The pride of the Topkapi Palace Museum and its most valuable single exhibit is the 86-carat pear-shaped Spoonmaker Diamond, also known as the Kasicki. Surrounded by a double-row of 49 round-cut diamonds and well spotlighted, it hangs in a glass case on the wall of one of the rooms of the Treasury.

Than you so much Mama Bear, this one was fun to do - and hard. Guess I'm out of practice, kept having to redo the descriptions below the pictures to get the font to show up.

Know you're going to be tired tonight after moving you mil, give yourself a break and don't do any cooking this weekend.
