MAGNOLIA WOOD MARQUISE DIAMOND RING

It’s the time to look forward to every May, that one precious week when, after months of watching the buds slowly grow on the tips of the seemingly too-small twigs, the blossoms open. The petals rise up proudly from the branch in unison, growing and spreading but standing high, weighing down the tree with their weight. A sudden flash of pink in an otherwise endless sea of green, a brief time which feels stretched out to infinity. And then, when the time is over, a stiff breeze carrying the petals out, out, away in a great cloud to flutter across the neighborhood, blessing every surface they touch with that same pink beauty.
