I wish I did but a good quality emerald is so expensive. Yes, there are "created" emeralds, but unlike diamonds which look great, the created emeralds do not.

To continue my story (this is 3/3), I was very envious when one of my best friends got faux emeralds for her birthday and wore them first. However, I was happy to wear mine anyway. My friends bulled me because I was a "copycat" even tho they all knew I had received mine first. #meangirls!
My parents got me faux emeralds as my first pair of pierced earings and I looked at them in the box until my mom could find the "self-piercing" rings that slowly worked into your ear over a couple of weeks. When I proudly wore my birthstone earings to school my best friends bullied.

No, I have no rubies, and I wept mock tears for my husband's benefit answering this.

I speak 9 languages, of which I use 6 pretty much daily. For me, language is a wonderful way to experience the world through the eyes of others. Each language is shaped by the culture and history of those who use it.
ReplyI am not fluent in any language other than English. But I know some French and a little Italian and ASL. I need to refresh myself.
ReplyI am using an app to learn Spanish, and am using songl lyrics to memorize ASL. I have rudimentary knowledge in both, tho I can fingerspell well. It's the grammar in both that will kill me. Since there is so of much French in English, I tried learning that, but it is too complicated for me.
