Chapter 80: Video Call
Once we made it back to the hotel, I quickly sent over the pictures of all of the newly acquired gems to Yulia. She replied immediately, full of excitement.
She also sent over the finished designs and mentioned that she had already begun crafting the main structure of the tiara and necklace.
[I’m working with the Sophia jewelry crafting team, and we are making very good progress. I estimate that by the time you’re back, we will be ready to work on cutting the gems and fitting them into the pieces.]
Her message left me speechless. Things seemed to be going much faster than I had anticipated.
"I can’t believe that they’ll be ready for the gems so quickly," I said, looking at Christian.
Don’t these things take months to craft?
Seeing my shocked expression, Christian chuckled. "Sweetheart, do you have any idea how many people work for Sophia? We are more than just a small local jeweler."
The thought never crossed my mind. I knew Sophia was an international brand, but the turnaround speed for something handcrafted was very impressive.
"But that’s great to hear. I was hoping to begin sending out invitations for the event soon, but it seems like things are ahead of schedule for once. You’re already doing a better job than those three clowns," said Christian.
"Speaking of, I still need to touch base with Blake to see why they’ve been so obsessed with that other designer...what was his name again?"
"Oh, Lorenzo. Yes, I’m curious why there was so much hype around him," I said.
