New Things

I've done lots of planning and buying of gifts for my friends and family since I've been here. Now that I've turned in my last essay, I figured it's finally time to reward myself with some New Zealand treasures. I walked down to a shop called Koru, one I've been to quite a few times because I love to look at their nice jewelry. It was a bit hard to shop, though, because they have so many neat things that I didn't want to narrow it down.

I eventually picked out two things for myself, both made of Pounamu, or greenstone, or New Zealand jade. I chose a dainty ring, perfect for my small hands, and a nice greenstone necklace. I love the color of it, kind of unfinished looking. Good finds.
