Today is the season opening again of the gardens of trauttmansdorf castle.
i love this amazing garden and you can have a wonderful view of flowers and plants from all over the world...
now the spring is really officially arrived!
my last creation is a ring made of gold with a moonstone, one of my favourites stones...
in many cultures, it is regarded as a holy, magical gemstone.
moonstone has been used for centuries, including ancient civilizations. the roman admired moonstone, as they believed it was born from solidified rays of the moon. both the romans and greeks associated this amazing stone with their lunar gods and goddesses.
