Twelfth Night

( Bling-bling )

Breathless gave me some nice stuff for Christmas and Epiphany:

[From left to right in the photo above]

[1] a silver necklace with malachite and painted jasper, and matching malachite earrings. We go back a long way on malachite (the first piece of jewelry he gave me 25 or so years ago was a malachite and silver ring), but the painted jasper was new. It's called that because the striations can look like they are painted onto the stone.

[2] Another gift is a good example of that. [3] He also gave me a necklace of mother of pearl and tiger's eye.

Some of the links above take you to better photos of these pieces.  Mark took this one of me wearing his Christmas Eve gift (the malachite and painted jasper) along with my son Eric on January 2, 2007, just before I took Eric to the airport to fly back to Washington.

I also wore it when I (finally) got my driver's license updated to our address - so this was on my license until the 2018 renewal.
