Since before Harmon was born, I have been on a hunt for a piece of jewelry that I liked (and would wear) with his birth stone. November’s stone is a yellow topaz, which isn’t the prettiest of all the gems, so finding just the right thing has been hard. After Harmon turned one, I started thinking about it again and thought a pendant would be nice and, if I got something I liked, I could wear it everyday. So, I started surfing the net but I couldn’t find much and, at that point, I figured I would have to design something myself to REALLY like it. Being that one of the diamonds in Kevin’s wedding ring fell out AGAIN, we were due for a trip to our jeweler. While we waited for Kevin’s ring repair, I decided to design a pendant with one of the jewelers. She was very helpful and we came up with something fantastic. Very simple but JUST what I wanted. And, much to my surprise, they put it all together while we waited. I thought for sure I would have to come back in a few weeks but they did it all right there – I guess that’s one of the reasons we love going there.Anyway, it’s a round yellow topaz in a white gold bezel setting with a 17-inch white gold chain. I’ve had it on for two days now and don’t plan on taking it off anytime soon as it reminds me of my precious little Harmon. And, seeing as how we don’t have a money tree in the back yard, I made Kevin PROMISE that this would be my Mother’s Day gift, even if it did come four months early.
