The Lady Hooligan’s Page

I now understand why my employers have blocked off all internet auction sites from the computers at work – auctions are addictive! And it’s now so much easier to buy things you do not need, with money you do not have, to impress people you don’t like.

In the past year I have bought many things online. And I didn’t need any of them! But it is really, really difficult not to succumb to the lure of the “click here” button…

A friend of mine who is a jeweller says that it is very easy to buy oneself a dud gemstone online, especially if one doesn’t know what one is buying. But he looked at my gemstone collection, and was very impressed with what I have. He said that as long as one buys from a reliable supplier, one can buy anywhere, not just in person.

My latest purchase is a Chrome Diopside gemstone. It’s mined in Russia and bright green. I want to have it set into a ring, flanked by 6 round little diamonds, 3 on each side. No, I can’t afford that right now, but it’s on my “To do before I die” list.

Who knows? Maybe I get to meet a man who doesn’t know what to do with all his money and he’ll be willing to sponsor my jewellery… In the unlikely event of that happening, maybe I should purchase some more pretty stones…

Just in case…
