先日、自宅に届いたフェスタリアのオリジナルプレミアムカット"Wish upon a star"のダイヤモンド✨
何度か店舗で見せて貰い、欲しかったのですが、セールで半額、そしてタイムバーゲンでさらに10%オフというのもあって、思い切って購入しました。
ネックレスに付いてきたスコープで毎晩星を眺めています🌟👀
*一番下の写真は公式サイトより抜粋した画像です。
✂️✂️✂️
父方の祖父母たちの墓参り、約１年ぶりに訪問しました。
以前も記載しましたが、お墓があるのは2年前にダブルハラスメントで退職した職場がある町にあります。
家族も親戚も事情を知っているので
「無理してこの町に来なくて良いよ」
と言ってくれるので、近付かないようにしていました。
私以外の家族は毎年、お盆・正月には必ず墓参りに行きますが、私だけは絶対に行きません。
ただ、今度の職場は他県ということで、次に墓参りに行くのは何年後になるのか分からない状態。意を決してお忍びで墓参りに行くことにしました🚶🏻♀️
帰りにその役場で在職中にお世話になった人の元へこっそりご挨拶。
久しく会っていなかったこともありますが、性格がすっかり変わっていました。
今の職場の人員不足の愚痴から始まり、ママ友の職場の時給と待遇が良いのを引き合いに、私たちよりのあの職場が良さそうとか。隣の芝生は青く見えるんでしょうけれど、以前だったら「大変ですね」って共感する言葉を言っているところですが、表向きはそう言っているのに、心の中では凄くモヤモヤ。
そんなに不満なら辞めればいいのに…。
というのが私の本音。なので心の中ではまたモヤモヤ😥
役場ということで、福利厚生もちゃんとしているし、近隣市町村の中では給料の待遇は良い方です。彼女の不満の対価として給料に反映されているはずなんですが、そういう良い所には目を向けず、彼女の心は満たされない様子👹
私が問題のこの役場を辞めるときは、不安もあり、くじけていました。
退職したからこそ、新しいご縁をたくさん紡ぐことが出来たと思っているので、今は退職して良かった💗って思っています。
私の場合、ハラスメント被害による退職だったので、理解してくれる方もたくさんいますし。
退職後に新しく出会った人たちが活き活きしている姿を普段から見ているだけに、
「解決しないから愚痴、だからと言って上司には相談しない」
みたいなのを聞かされると正直疲れました。
（相手が変わったというより、私が変わったのが正解なのかもしれません💦）
でも在職中の大変な時期を助けてくれたのも事実。感謝を持ちつつも、もう会うことはないだろうと、徳丸屋さんで買った差し入れのお菓子を置いてその場を離れました。
来週はいよいよ新しい職場での仕事📚
社労士事務所の仕事を辞めてから法律もかなり変わったので、急いで本を買って読んでいます👀
去年の暮れは神社に恐ろしい勢いでの断捨離がマイブーム。
現在も減量が順調に進んでいるせいか、リングにドはまり、最近はネックレスにも手を出す私。
私の行きつく先はどこへやら…です汗
※因みにネックレスは悪目立ちしないので職場につけて行きます。

Emerald Spectacles from India, c. 1620-1660 CE: the lenses of these spectacles were cut from a single 300-carat emerald, and it was believed that they possessed mystical properties
These eyeglasses are also known by the name "Astaneh-e ferdaws," meaning "Gate of Paradise," based on the symbolic associations between the color green and the concept of spiritual salvation/Paradise. That symbolism (which is rooted in Islamic tradition) was especially popular in Mughal-era India, where the spectacles were made.
The lenses were crafted from two thin slices of the same emerald. Together, the lenses have a combined weight of about 27 carats, but given the precision, size, and shape of each lens, experts believe that the original emerald likely weighed in excess of 300 carats (more than sixty grams) before it was cleaved down in order to produce the lenses. The emerald was sourced from a mine in Muzo, Colombia, and it was then transported across the Atlantic by Spanish or Portuguese merchants.
Each lens is encircled by a series of rose-cut diamonds, which run along an ornate frame made of gold and silver. The diamond-studded frame was added in the 1890s, when the original prince-nez design was fitted with more modern frames.
The emerald eyeglasses have long been paired with a second set of spectacles, and they were almost certainly commissioned by the same patron. This second pair is known as "Halqeh-e nur," or the "Halo of Light."
The Halo of Light features lenses that were made from slices of diamond. The diamond lenses were cleaved from a single stone, just like the emerald lenses, with the diamond itself being sourced from a mine in Southern India. It's estimated that the original, uncut diamond would have weighed about 200-300 carats, which would make it one of the largest uncut diamonds ever found.
The lenses are so clear and so smoothly cut that it sometimes looks like they're not even there.
Both sets of spectacles date back to the mid-1600s, and it's generally believed that they were commissioned by a Mughal emperor or prince. The identity of that person is still a bit of a mystery, but it has been widely speculated that the patron was Shah Jahan -- the Mughal ruler who famously commissioned the Taj Mahal after the death of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Shah Jahan did rule as the Mughal emperor from about 1628 to 1658.
The emerald and diamond lenses may have been chosen for symbolic, sentimental, and/or cultural reasons, or they may have been chosen simply because they're pretty and extravagant; the original meaning and purpose behind the design is still unclear. Experts do believe that the eyeglasses were designed to be worn by someone, though.
At times, it was believed that the spectacles had spiritual properties, like the ability to promote healing, to ward off evil, to impart wisdom, and to bring the wearer closer to enlightenment. Those beliefs are largely based on the spiritual significance that emeralds and diamonds can have within certain Indic and Islamic traditions -- emeralds may be viewed as an emblem of Paradise, salvation, healing, cleansing, and eternal life, while diamonds are similarly associated with enlightenment, wisdom, celestial light, and mysticism.
The Gate of Paradise and the Halo of Light were both kept in the collections of a wealthy Indian family until 1980, when they were sold to private collectors, and they were then put up for auction once again in 2021. They were most recently valued at about $2 million to $3.4 million per pair.
