My pulse quickens as I wait for him to say more. "Bali was a good place for that," he continues. "Do you know the story about pearls?" I shake my head, clueless about what he meant. "Pearls form in deep water, preventing the mollusk from being hurt by a foreign object," he says. "Growing and protecting it, which creates pearl over time." I raise my brow, not expecting him to know about jewellery. But then, is there anything that this guy doesn't know about? "There's so much about purity and strength behind it." Prince wraps his arms around my waist from behind and kisses my cheek as we look into the mirror. "Just like you, Ches. So pure, so beautiful. And you gave me the strength I didn't kn

“We have a piece that just came in last night and has never been seen by anyone. I believe you would have heard of the midnight jade” I gasped because everyone knew what the midnight Jade was. It was a powerful piece that was crafted by Ellen Jade. It had a total of over 200 carats in precious stones with the main colorless diamond and jades taking up the main components of the necklace. It was one piece a lot of women would kill to have.

“…What is this for?” Jin released a laugh at her innocence. “That’s a pearl, silly. It’s a gift from the sea” “It’s a gift from the sea?” she queried quietly, still staring at the smooth, black pearl in her hand with a look of interest and a hint of awe. “Well kind of... but not really,” Jin chuckled as he too, stared at the pearl looking so dark against her porcelain-pale white hands, “My father got the pearl for my mother before I was even born… then she gave it to me before we come here. She had kept it for twelve years.”

It probably wouldn't have been ideal for anyone else, and hell, Nikki may hate me for not making more of a production out of it, but either way, I stuck my hand into my pocket. She focused on our son, yet I knew the moment she saw the diamond that glittered in the white-gold setting. I heard the gasp seconds before she moved her fingers to her mouth. When she pulled back enough for me to see her eyes, radiant blues and deep greys feathered from her pupils, and tears pooled, threatening to cascade down her cheeks. I hated to see her cry, but this was when she was the most beautiful...when she was vulnerable.

The maids draped her curls up with pearl pins. She barely recognized her reflection in the mirror. "This isn't what I'm used to," she said, brushing the pearls with her fingertips. "Pearls are prized in Ipsit," Olivia said. "These are part of the king's crown jewels." Violet's skin crawled at that news. She hated being so close to him. "I'm sure King Curzon has acquired many new treasures from the kingdoms he's decimated." Hestia shook her head, finishing hanging the other dresses. "No, pearls are sacred. The only gem born of a living creature's pain. Ipsit's royal family has collected them for generations."

He passed her the gift he brought. The second she opened the velvet box, Jane was blinded by the object inside. An Imperial Pearl that was as big as a pigeon egg sat inside the box. Being golden in color, it would undoubtedly have been a rare find in the market. Besides, it boasted a natural and clear glimmer. "This belongs to Amber Place," Jane said firmly, unable to look away.

Colton looked at the various jade ornaments in the display case and felt as if he was looking at a pile of rocks, which were all the same with no differences at all. There were only three types of customers in Jadice Haven; those who knew what they were looking for, those with money, and those who were both knowledgeable and wealthy. The saleswoman poured them tea considerately and then brought out items from the display case. “These are the peace amulets that just arrived this morning, and they are all mined from old jade mines. These peace amulets are used to ensure peace and security, and it’s extremely meaningful. It’s the perfect gift for your mother!”

It's tradition. It's an elaborate victorian crown with emeralds and crystals incrested all over. Across the front are green gems resembling ivy with a prominent giant pear-cut emerald in the middle. The points are all differently shaped emeralds with crystals. It's a beautiful, perfect blend of Silver Moon and me. Our colors combined. "I...I love it!" A single tear drops down my cheek before she comes rushing over, dabbing it off. "Don't cry, sweet girl. So happy you love it. Now let's put it on and show my son why it's such a good thing he came to his senses yesterday."

"The bracelet is strong, but it has limits. If you heal too much at once, it could shatter. If that happens, it could damage your veins and your magic permanently. You have to be careful." Bainer’s eyes filled with tears. She fell to her knees, bowing her head. "Thank you, Jade. I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you." Embarrassed, I quickly pulled her to her feet. "Don’t do that. Just . . . keep wearing long sleeves. No one can know we did this." She nodded earnestly. "I’ll take it to my grave." The bell for lunch rang, cutting through the moment. My stomach grumbled loudly, and I realized I’d missed breakfast.
