None of them are enough to design the kind of ring I want for her.” Xavier smirked. “I thought you’d say that.” He held out his tablet. “Take a look at this.” Curious, I took the device from him. The screen loaded slowly, then revealed an article—an online news piece with a headline that caught my eye immediately: “THE RED BERYL GEM: THE ONCE-EXTINCT STONE THAT RETURNED TO AMERICA.”

Master Nandang only glanced at it once before his expression changed instantly. It really was Pomelo jade! "Master Nandang, what's wrong?" Seeing the sudden change in Nandang's expression, Zein and the others immediately became nervous. Could that kid's guess really be correct? Could they really be that unlucky? Master Nandang remained silent. Instead, Riza and the others saw a glimmer of hope. He quickly said, "Professor Lubis, please examine the jade as well!" Lubis didn't respond. He still hadn't recovered from his shock. Although he was standing some distance away, based on his experience, it was indeed Western Nephrite Pomelo jade.

This one held a collection of sapphire and ruby pieces, their deep colors vibrant against the velvet. "If you're looking for something with more personality, I'd recommend our Colored Gemstone collection." She pointed to a necklace featuring a pear-shaped sapphire surrounded by delicate diamond leaves. "This piece is inspired by nature, the sapphire represents wisdom and loyalty, while the diamond leaves symbolize growth and renewal." I studied it. The sapphire was a deep, velvety blue, almost black in certain lights. The diamonds sparkled like morning dew. It was stunning, elegant, and entirely wrong.

"It's just some cheap glass cuts that look like they came from a beer bottle. I'll pay you 100 thousand at most." I ran my fingers along the bracelet, smiling at his ignorance. "This bracelet is a flawless, vivid green. It was crafted from top-grade emerald. Mr. Latham, you might want to check the price of emerald first. I can assure you that 100,000 probably wouldn't even buy you a single karat."

While the ancestors had been specialists, Leela was the embodiment of the whole. As she stilled her breathing in the master suite, the muddy green of the toxin didn't just fade—it was forced out by a rising tide of colors that Northcott’s "quieting" formula couldn't suppress. Within the stone, four distinct lights began to swirl, merging into the breathtaking galaxy that was her signature: Sapphire for the depth of the Water. Ruby for the living spark of Fire. Emerald for the grounded strength of Earth. Pearl for the infinite reach of the Wind.

Teardrop shaped emeralds adorned her earshells. "Do you like this necklace?" She hated those red rubies to the extent of glaring at Icarus to which he smiled and replied his voice getting huskier. "I have same thoughts as my queen and cannot seem to like it no matter how I look, I have brought something else for you." Rubies were replaced by sun gold sapphires that somewhat resembled the colour of Icarus's eyes making Lalya seemingly look at the male in hazed delusion. Was this his way of telling her that he shall from now he owned her?

It was so beautiful! If outsiders were there, they would know that the bangle was made of top quality jade; a glassy species called green jadeite. It was translucent and looked stunning. There was no doubt it was the best of the best. However, there was a name carved on the glassy jade bangle. Charlotte Larson.

The chain of the pendant was also made of rose gold. “Wow! This is so pretty” said Lily with her eyes wide open and then a sweet smile curved on her lips. “Not more than you, Love” replied Nick smiling while looking at her admirably. “This is the rare Pink Sapphire, right?” asked Lily in a muddled tone and Nick nodded and stroked her hair. “How did you get one?” asked Lily in a curious tone. “I have good connections” replied Nick with a wink. “I belong to Dark Sapphire pack not Pink Sapphire” said Lily with narrowed eyes.

"I want to get something special for my Luna. I don't want to get her a necklace because she already has one. I was thinking of a bracelet, but I know she doesn't want one that is too flashy. Can you help me choose something along those lines?" She smiled warmly. "I think I can help you with something." She then led me to a showcase that had numerous bracelets of all shapes and sizes and colors. She bent down and grabbed a small black box from under the showcase. She placed it in front of me but didn't open the box. "Now this is a very unique piece of jewelry, it was commissioned 20 years ago but the person that ordered it never came to get it." She then opened the box, and I was absolutely
