The Emerald City

I originally was going to call this line "The Emerald Isle". Emeralds being the star of the show and March being home to St. Patrick's Day, but then things got a tad flashy. When I think of the Emerald Isle I think of bucolic rolling hills of green, pastoral settings and of course those saucy leprechauns! But this line apparently had no interest in being pastoral and wanted some serious sparkle to liven things up. Enter black spinel, black garnet and opals-oh my! They give the pieces a little more flash than a country setting might allow thus I followed the yellow brick road and landed in The Emerald City! Think of these pieces as having both the glint in a leprechaun's eye and the mystery of The Wizard. And hopefully, you'll find a piece that simply says, "There's no place like home!"
