My neighborhood is filled with historic homes from the whaling era of the 1840s. One day while out for a walk, I passed a blue and white pin-striped gothic house with heavy gingerbread trim.  In the front garden were bright purple violets popping out of whorls of dark green leaves above, a pale, spring green canopy of maples opened to the sky.

The stones in this collection are peridot and amethyst with pale green dyed freshwater pearls and olivine swarovski crystals.
