The best part of the day was finding my platero's number, and I promptly text-messaged him. He arrived at 2:30 PM this afternoon. I'm having him repair a dragon necklace and an antique, sterling silver anklet that I bought in Singapore. I'm also having him fashion a small bow for my bowman statue.

Angelique was still at her university, and so I couldn't have her solid opal cabochon, which Teow Li purchased at Perth, set in gold.

I did order three pairs of stud earrings: diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. Those are what I'll wear for the rest of my life--and bequeath them to my granddaughters, of course.
