Each piece was a work of art. Every item, from earrings, to bangles, and necklaces, was inspired by
mythical creatures.
Maisie saw a single bracelet in one of the cabinets. The phoenix engraved onto it looked very lifelike.
She had been exposed to engraving, but it wasn’t possible to make something look so lifelike even for
her.
The man said, “This bracelet was my teacher’s creation. He has a lot of engraved pieces.”
He pointed toward a hanging ornament with gold trims. There were green, blue, and red gems on it, and
it looked beautiful under the light.
“Is this a ring?” Naomi looked at one of the rings on the display. That was the first
time she saw creativity like that.
The man smiled. “Yes, that’s a ring. It’s one of my teacher’s engraving pieces too.”
Naomi mumbled, “So, that’s what classical craftsmanship can produce.” The man slowly said, “He told
me that classical craftsmanship and antique jewelry pieces are very closely related. He has a strong
understanding of craftsmanship and has seen how beautiful they can be. That’s how he got his
inspiration.”
‘Antique pieces’ always existed and were one of the rare types of jewelry. Anything that was more than
100 years old would be classified as an antique piece.
The actual antique pieces were really expensive because, other than having a long history, people were
drawn to them, and that was something that was a luster that even time could not dim.
A lot of the valuable pieces had disappeared hundreds of years ago, so the current ‘antique pieces’ were
the ones that people showed to the world because of their love for them.
Maisie wanted to revisit the antique style in Luxella because of the same appreciation. She made antique
jewelry pieces sought after again.
The owner of Jewel Attic had passed down the ‘antique elements’ 70 years ago, which was why Maisie
wanted Naomi to visit this place.
Naomi bought that ring, and they left Jewel Attic. She looked at the box in her hand. ” Ms. Vanderbilt, I
think I know what my next design will be.” After seeing so many antique pieces, she finally understood
that she had limited her inspiration. The ‘Baroque style’ was part of the antique style, but it had more
history, a clash between modern and ancient elements.
Maisie patted her shoulder. “It’s great that you got your inspiration. I’m looking forward to your designs.”
Naomi smiled.
Maisie looked past her shoulder and noticed something, then frowned.
Naomi followed her line of sight but didn’t see anything. She found it odd, so she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s fine. My eyes are playing tricks.” Maisie looked back at her and smiled.”
Let’s go back.”
Naomi nodded.
Maisie brought Naomi to the garage. When Naomi got into the car, Maisie stood there for a few seconds
to confirm that no one was following them before finally getting in the car and driving off.
A man walked out from the shadows and made a call. “Ma’am, her companion noticed that I was
following her. I need to keep some distance.”
The woman on the other end slowly said,’ Find a chance and bring her to see me.” At the Goldman
mansion…
