Pier 2011

I can imagine ...
ships being tossed around by the ocean as canons go off while battling each other over stolen treasures.

I can hope ...
to find something valuable gently guided by foaming waves onto the shore before my feet just because I'm lucky.

I can picture ...
long curly haired mermaids splashing and playing alongside fat gray manatees.

I can envision ...
a couple falling in love on this pier as they open up their hearts to one another. The jade waters their only witness.


The world is a beautiful place when you stop to look around.


What does Jade make you think of?

“It reminds me of a piece of jade. The emerald light coming from within is refracted and dispersed according to the consistency of the impurities that gave it its quality.” Thomas D'Evelyn

"The jeweler allows me to wear the sapphire blue lake on my finger, the emerald green leaves around my neck, and take the citrine sunset with me wherever I go. Jewelry has become my daytime link to nature in an office with no windows. And if I have to work late, there's nothing like diamond stars and a pearl full moon against an onyx night sky." Astrid Alauda
