    I was probably not alone in holding my breath as I ready your account of “should I/shouldn’t I” buy not one, but two emerald rings. “Yes” I exclaimed, when I got to the payoff: you go, girl, you so deserve to treat yourself! Can’t wait to see them! (And kudos to dear, patient Louis throughout that long day…….😘)

      Believe me, Penelope, it was a cliff-hanger for me, too, but I have never regretted for a moment that I bought both, thanks to smart/patient/long-suffering Louis.

      Did you recognize the plaid layer I was wearing? Great shopping trip that was.

    I love emeralds, and am wearing tiny hoops and a necklace right now with jeans. You can wear them everywhere. Get a handful for me? Merry Christmas!

    Go green! Can’t wait to see the souvenirs!

    For no particular reason, I got a wedding ring with a (very small, more like a chip) emerald. Have worn it happily for 35 years.
