While in college, not that long ago, I needed a pick me up gift as it was the last semester and student teaching to boot. I was out buying Easter dresses (maybe??) and saw the perfect gift for me. I bought it and then had to buy a necklace to put this gorgeous cross on. I still wear that cross for special occasions, Easter, and when I need a pick me up. When I do wear it, friends always comment upon it and say how nice it looks. It is cross of either garnets or amethysts and very blingy!!
