LUSTRE x MSYIN | MSYANG

........The first thing I saw as I was waiting for them, was an extra extra large Uber pull up. Then emerged seemingly 4 feet of legs clad in silver slippers ( Ms. Yin); then the very sexily fierce ensemble of Ms Yang in her (RWARRRR) leopard print pants.

OCTOBER - TWICE AS NICE

Through the ages referred to as, ‘The tears of Zeus”, and believed by the Bedouins to be filled with Lightning, the kaleidoscopic play of colour trapped within Opals has made them a source of fascination for centuries.

Most modern references suggest it is adapted from the Sanskrit word "Upala” which literally translates to the word “jewel”. The argument for the Sanskrit origin is strong. The term first appears in Roman references around 250 BC, at a time when the opal was valued above all other gems. The word itself has two meanings, one is related to "seeing" and forms the basis of the English words like "opaque"; the other is "other" as in "alias" and "alter". It is claimed that opalus combined these uses, meaning "to see a change in colour".

LABRADORITE - FROZEN FIRE!

It is referenced in legends by the Innuit tribe whose folklore claims that Labradorite fell from the frozen fire of the Aurora Borealis - now how can you not love a stone with magic like that? 
With  it's quiet beauty it's often easy to overlook labradorite especially when compared to the more obvious charms  of Opals or Amethysts but have another look at that piece of jewellery,  let it catch the light and watch the iridescence take your breath away.
