Many years ago I was visiting the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. In the geology exhibit, a special gem and jewellery exhibit was on display and it was there I was inspired to create one of my characters for my upcoming book Hearthstone. A crown (seen below) with a large tanzanite gemstone set in a white gold crown accented with small round diamonds and emeralds made to look like a snake wraps around the wearers head.
The shape and design of the crown evokes something mythical... even evil. In Hearthstone, this crown is more than just a crown... it posses the wearer giving them power.
I do wonder where the crown is now, would like to see it again in person once more.
