Hurray for gifts! XD Have you picked a room in the house for Nayru yet?? =X
WC: 412

It had taken a little longer than expected, but she was done. Bris had been absolutely set on finding just the right stones for this particular bracelet. Now that it was finished, its crimson gems and silver finish sparkling in the sunlight in the palm of her hand, the white woman spared herself a contented smile. She was fairly pleased with herself, and regarded the piece as one of her favorites out of all of the ones she'd crafted so far. Bris still didn't consider her skill to be as good as Kol's had been, but she was stubborn and dilligent and determined to get there.


Still smiling, the spaher reached across her bed for the stash of velvet pouches she'd managed to find at one of the old jewelry shops in town. It had taken some time to clean and stretch the stiffness out of them, but it was worth it. They were just the right size for most of her pieces, and the soft cloth helped to protect the precious metal and gemstones from the elements when they weren't being worn. The pouches ranged in color from black, to green, blue, red, and purple. Taking a moment to ponder, Bris decided on a simply black one for this particular bracelet, then dropped the piece inside and tied the pouch shut loosely.


Bris had been working for over a month collecting the parts for the bracelet she now carried down the stairs of the victorian house, but she'd finished it only just in time for its debut. Nayru had only had her first shift a few days ago, and Bris had hurried to set the final two small rubies into place on either side of the central stone: a gorgeously cut large garnet. In her regular outings for supplies for her growing hobby, Bris had come across an old human list of sorts. It had pictures of stones of varying colors and types, along with the word "birthstone" and corresponding months. It had taken a little bit of time to figure out the human calendar, but the white woman had eventually determined that Nayru's birthstone was the deep red garnet, a fitting stone for the young girl in Bris' humble opinion. Now, as she made her way through the hallway on the bottom floor, calling Nayru's name softly since she wasn't sure which room she would find her in, she could only hope that the young girl would like her present.
