Jewellery making is my family business
I am supposed to know it all about Gold and Diamonds.
Recently was helping a friend pick up a diamond ring and was totally flabbergasted by the range of types, qualities and prices.
They say if I was given a gem I would not know what to do with it.
But then I sure am learning how to identify one...

FRANGIPANI
Have a really lousy beginning to the day. Feels nice to reach office and
find flowers on your desk

This rich, heady, exotic oil has a deep expansive quality which

soul's infinite journey.

flower of Lord Krishna.
