Vintage Costume Jewelry の小説・ストーリー

"Alexander, you didn't need to—" "Please," I interrupted gently. "Open it." She lifted the lid carefully. Inside, nestled on midnight-blue velvet, lay an exquisite set of matching jewelry—a necklace, earrings, and bracelet crafted from the rarest moonstones I'd been able to acquire. The stones seemed to capture the light and transform it, creating an ethereal glow that rippled across their surfaces like water.

As I made my way upstairs, my brother David was waiting in my room. He leaned casually against the window, a velvet box in his hand. “Happy birthday, little sister,” he said, his smile warm but teasing as always. He handed me the box and watched as I opened it. Inside, nestled in black velvet, was the most beautiful jewelry I had ever seen. Necklace and earrings of pale sapphires surrounded by tiny diamonds, delicate but striking. “It’s vintage,” David said. “Late Victorian. I saw it and thought of you.” I hugged him tightly, a rush of affection filling my chest. “Thank you, David. It’s perfect.” He gave me a soft smile and left.

She cannot yet let go her attention from a highly valuable Chantilly lace because it was rare to find a hand-made lace with flower designs fit for her vintage-inspired costumes as commissioned by a producer for the upcoming Asian drama. “Wow, you finished the first set,” Victor commented as he saw the vintage suit even paired with a pocket watch and leather boots. “You like it?” she asked while putting the scissor down. The delight of her smile was more meaningful than just knowing that he liked the first set. She’s happy because their friendship is maintained despite the issue between the Mercators and the Doltos. Even if she would insist that she is outside the Dolto family, she bears the

Jada said, “This necklace is the Heart of the Ocean. It was released many years ago, and there’s only one of its kind in the whole world. These earrings are a limited edition that went in season seven or eight years ago, and they’re not cheap. The price when they were released was probably over eight million dollars… And this bracelet, it’s an antique from ancient Cairnstan, and it’s worth more than twenty million…” Ruth was utterly flabbergasted. The Willis family may be rich, but the most expensive jewelry she owned did not even cost one million.

he said then added, “These are for you to wear while you are here, but I’ll need to place them back into the vault tonight. They are very old.” “How old?” I said, almost afraid to ask. “Let it suffice to say that they belonged to a queen that lived long ago.” He opened the box and a lovely diamond pendant encased in gold hung from a gold necklace, along with matching earrings—diamonds suspended from delicate gold chains. The necklace was comprised of tiny circular images linked together and a pendent hung in the center. “They’re exquisite,” I said, enamored by the sparkle of the precious gems and polished gold. The set was, indeed, very old.

* But she hadn't stepped foot in this room since the day she walked out of the police station. I turned from the closet, its serene order a mockery, and yanked open the top drawer of her vanity. Jewelry boxes. Dozens of them. I opened a few. A sapphire necklace. Diamond earrings. A vintage Cartier bracelet. Gifts from earlier years. I stared, a cold realization dawning. They were all from three, four years ago at the latest. Beautiful, expensive… and utterly outdated.

- "Good evening, everyone. Thank you for coming all the way to Everster, this beautiful coastal town, to this sublime hall where land and sea intertwine. I have gathered here to celebrate my coming of age. I am now a grown woman and I will honor the image of the Kestle family until my death, making it shine throughout the world, that is a promise. Now, have fun and enjoy the evening!" Under the applause of the crowd, I stepped down from the balcony to meet my entourage. My family and friends came to give me a big hug and their wishes and blessings. The atmosphere was sweet, everyone was smiling and seemed happy, I was on cloud nine. I wish this scene could go on forever, without any negativi

Tyr asked. “More than a million. It’s freaking cheap! I also bought a gold bracelet for Connie, which was said to be worn by a princess during the Victorian era,” Dickson replied, taking out the bracelet and showing it off. “Look at it, Brother Tyr! Isn’t it glittering?” Tyr was speechless for a moment.

Standing in front of the display window, Catelyn admired the hand-made pieces on the stand. There were beams of light on top of every cell, and each piece appeared extremely sophisticated under the light. At the very center of the display window was a perfect white wedding gown. With a scoop-neck neckline that hugged the chest, the dress extended all the way down to the ground. Inspired by the Victorian era, small pieces of diamonds were scattered all over the hem of the dress, giving it an elegant and fairy-like appearance.

Delicate, beaded evening gowns sparkled like the night sky, while sleek, high-collared coats, much too expensive for my taste, shimmered in the low lighting. Shelves and drawers were filled with an assortment of accessories. Silver-buckled belts, black feathers, and gemstone-encrusted brooches that seemed to be from all different eras. A selection of black and silver hats adorned the shelves, from fedoras to top hats. It looked as if he had a hat from every age, maybe even from every year. It seemed he liked to collect old relics like these. Nestled between two bookcases, sat a snug reading nook, surrounded by black and silver books that shone with an ethereal glow. The symbols on their spin
