Amazing combination of materials! I definitely need to add it to my next order with Rizzoli for our new gallery. <br /><br />Thank you Diane for the most kind well wishes and the generous compliments! I am blushing!<br /><br />Adeeni Design Galerie is on 664 Post Street, 2 blocks from Union Square. We have a nice mix of European Modernist furniture, accessories, lighting and tabletop, contemporary local art and specialty lines like Augarten china and Lobmeyr crystal. Can&#39;t wait to welcome you for a cup of Viennese coffee! <br /><br />Some say Lower Nob Hill, some Union Square West, some Tenderloin. The Tenderloin most likely will win out. :) <br /><br />Wishing you an amazing 2017 as well.<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />ClauidaClaudia Juestelhttp://www.adeenidesigngroup.com[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-60668832076598026332017-01-01T13:42:09.423-08:002017-01-01T13:42:09.423-08:00CLAUDIA-<br /><br />YES...the winged brooch...truly one of a kind for a fortunate person...has been very much admired by everyone...<br /><br />i love also his elegant use of diamonds...and his artful use of colored stones...(few or no rubies it seems...) and stones with subtle colors...<br /><br /><br />So lovely to hear from you...and wishing you great good fortune with your fantastic new style/design/art/ decor gallery near Union Square in San Francisco. On Post Street...so perhaps it is really in the new and upcoming TENDERLOIN area...it is also in a very interesting and characterful building. <br />be sure to stay in touch with news... I have always admired your designs and approach--and especially have been impressed with the very warm relationships you maintain and foster with your clients and colleagues.<br /><br />wishing you everything exciting in the New Year--DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-91016613872846158712017-01-01T13:38:53.905-08:002017-01-01T13:38:53.905-08:00hello to the lovely SWAN...<br /><br /><br />how great...yes...we are five minutes...and perhaps even one minute...away from a miracle.<br /><br />I love it...thank you so much for this blessing.

Diablo...not too far from your gaze. Sadly, the mine is privately owned and closed now...but oh what a stone...in all its faceted natural majesty. I know the Benitoite well, for its brilliance when polished is beyond the fire of a diamond.The Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159724663060240920[email protected]
