<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On this snowy first Sunday of Advent, I\u2019d like to share a wonderful story about love and jewelry. This past spring, one evening, I received a message from a friend traveling in Colombia, along with a photo of two green stones. It turned out that they had stumbled upon a \u201cparadise of emeralds\u201d \u2014 a gemstone shop \u2014 and had already chosen a pair of beautiful green emeralds to make earrings for their dearest someone far away in Estonia. There\u2019s something truly beautiful about the longing that arises while traveling, thinking of a loved one from afar.<\/p>\n
At one point, those stunning green emeralds from Colombia arrived on my table, and the earring design process began. For some reason, the **foxtail oats** growing in my flower box caught my eye \u2014 alone, they seemed so delicate and beautiful\u2026 like the longing for a loved one when far away. I had the idea to capture that beautiful, tender feeling in the jewelry.\n\nThe foxtail oats concept also resonated with the client. I designed the ears combining **Eesti foxtail oat grains in yellow 750 gold** with the Colombian emeralds and tiny black diamonds. And thus, the beautiful emerald earrings were completed.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, it was my first time setting emeralds, and knowing how delicate they can be (hardness 7.5\u20138), I was genuinely nervous about the possibility of them breaking while securing them in the metal.<\/p>\n
When I handed over the foxtail oat earrings to the wearer, I was surprised to learn that she works in agriculture, and foxtail oats are actually a major headache that farmers struggle with. It\u2019s wonderful to discover these connections and see how coincidences align.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m incredibly happy to see that not all gentlemen in the world have disappeared \u2014 there are still those who love their ladies so romantically and wholeheartedly. Such a beautiful, romantic story behind these earrings. Wishing you a peaceful Advent season, and always love with all your heart! \u00a0 <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
