The
jeweler allows me to wear the sapphire blue lake on my finger, the emerald
green leaves around my neck, and take the citrine sunset with me wherever
I go. Jewelry has become my daytime link to nature in an office
with no windows. And if I have to work late, there's nothing like
diamond stars and a pearl full moon against an onyx night sky. ~Astrid
Alauda, "Office With No Windows"
