That back story made me swell in pride at the same time sink in sadness for the past riches my home land bathed in! Remember those stories and songs of Krishna devaraya's era where diamonds were sold in heaps by the street side vendors..
Too senti.. is it.. at least your story is giving me a closure in SKD that now that necklace is/ will be safe in my dear man's household! Thank you Inspired.
