Carousel Stander Vignette

She added a newly purchased sapphire into the heaven of her hair, which glittered like the night sky with other sapphires, emeralds, and pearls.  The sapphire had once been in a pavé bracelet, since dismantled -- its jewels reworked into other pieces scattered across the globe.  

In a past life, she'd been bejeweled.  The passage of time, lives and a monumental quest had reunited her with past treasure.

Now she was ready.  Now the real quest could begin.  She'd find her lost love.
