On the opposite end of the …
It genuinely seems unfair that someone actually owns this gorgeous art deco sapphire ring. Too magnificent for ownership! It should be on display somewhere so we can all ooh and ahh and talk about its beauty and try it on and then maybe run away with it while the display person isn’t looking…. Alright, so …
