Chapter 23: Shiny zircon lucan.[M]

The voice of the male and female emcees for the International Gem Festival called out to the honored guests inside the venue, asking them to turn their attention to the center stage. Because in a short while, the announcement of the valuable jewelry award winners and the top-ranked team would be made, receiving a cash prize of one million baht and a ticket to visit the diamond factory in London, England.
"Exciting!" Yota exclaimed as the three of them sat in anticipation in front of the stage, like the other thirty teams, waiting to hear the decision of the committee.
"If we win, it will be the prize of a lifetime, but if we don't, we shouldn't be disappointed. Let's consider it an experience. At least we've done our best." Pimnaphas encouraged her two tall friends.
"Everyone, the decision of the committee is in my hands now." The elegant woman dressed in a black embroidered dress with a beautiful necklace adorning her neck, sweetly exclaimed with a smiling face.
Suddenly, the lights in the hall gradually dimmed, leaving only the bright light from the giant LED screen in the center of the stage. And in this exciting moment, each team held hands, their hands damp with sweat, hoping that their team would win the competition.
As the sound of the intense music played, Yota squeezed the hands of his two dear friends tightly, his legs trembling uncontrollably, and then the image of the third-place winning jewelry appeared on the screen.
"It's not ours." Pimnaphas said sadly. The beautiful eyes looked at the image of a necklace designed like a peacock's tail, connected together in a circle, adorned with pearls, sapphires, and rubies.

The team that received the award applauded joyfully before walking up to receive the award on stage, and spoke about the creative inspiration behind this piece of work.
"I want to talk about inspiration." Pimnaphas murmured, holding hands tightly with his close friends.
And then the announcement of the second place winner was heard again, before the image of the awarded jewelry slowly appeared. It was certainly not the team's project from Sol Jewelry as before.
"It's not ours anymore." This time it was Salin who spoke, not hoping to win first place. Because every team that competed was professional, while they were just interns. Their experience was still limited. What could they compete with people who had been in the industry for ten years?
But that's not always the case....
Because the image that appeared on the giant screen right now was an image of a Naga necklace from the team of Sol Jewelry, and it was certainly the first place award of this international gem festival.
"We did it, guys." Pimnaphas shook her friend's hand, excitedly. Before the three of them hurriedly stood up, and thanked the honorable guests for coming to listen to the announcement.
Who would have believed that all three interns would have the opportunity to stand on such a prestigious stage and receive countless compliments from the committee?
"Where did the inspiration for this necklace come from?" The dashing male emcee asked with a soft voice. Because he wanted everyone in the hall to know the team's winning concept.
"Love." Salin received the microphone from the team and answered the question, "Pure, honest, and steadfast love."
Hundreds of eyes turned to the image of the Naga necklace, as if being enchanted by the gaze of both of them, looking at each other and

themselves with love, just like the pure, honest, and steadfast love of Sirareen-Devi who looked at the man she loved.
"The gem that our team has chosen to use is a pure sapphire that weighs thirty-six carats. The necklaces of both designs are adorned with diamonds, while the temples and eyes are also embellished with diamonds. As for the heart-shaped box, we have used topaz and Siam sapphire. The body of the Naga is decorated with emerald, pearl, and sapphire. The scales and sharp thorns on the back are adorned with topaz, pearls, and rubies. The gemstones we chose are known by the names of the original nine gems, initiated, prosperous, and beautiful." Mr. Yota spoke to emphasize with his dear friends.
The strong and brave diamond glistens with beautiful sapphire.
The genuine dazzling emerald shines brilliantly with outstanding diamonds.
The radiant white pearl shines like exquisite pearl necklaces.
The pink color, reflecting and auspicious, captures the attention with charm.
The bright yellow topaz reveals its powerful charm to those who are close.
There is not a beautiful gem that rivals the preciousruby and has a mysterious depth, like a cat's eyes.
And lastly, the elegant opal watches over with special magic like no other.
These are the original nine precious gems that represent the beginning of prosperity.
With a gentle and melodic poetic verse, it creates an impressive impact on those attending the event. Before the applause resounds, the hall echoes with sincere praise for the team from Sol Jewelry.
And of course, sitting in the front row of the stage, Suriyen, the chairman of Sol Jewelry, joined the executive board of the global gem company in thunderous applause, accompanied by a smile of admiration for all three.
Finally, you have done it.
