Set in silver this will really shine
A few more facets and it will be mine
I am a jeweler and that is my sign
Now watch me display
My green tourmaline
*****
Watch the grinding wheel do its thing
Reflections of the light set in a ring
Working with verdite, it feels like spring
A crystalline buffet
My green tourmaline
*****
It's worth each dime, no one should walk away
For such exquisite work, you'd gladly pay
My awesome skills you would not demean
What else is in my tray?
My green tourmaline
*****
Wear it every day...

I love this! And yes, silver!! My birthstone is Peridot (Leo, gold, and all) but I look better in silver or white gold and so does the Peridot stone!!
Keep up that fantastic writing.
