Before the Shopee 12.12 Birthday Sale, I’d already made a few purchases but since Shopee offered RM0 free shipping vouchers on 12.12, I bought more items. Most of the things I bought are below RM15 but not this beautiful green aventurine brooch from a seller based in Kemaman, Terengganu, SariSense Parfums.

I contacted the seller regarding the brooch and was informed that the green stone was green aventurine, a brooch that has benefits to one’s well-being. It’s also known as the “Stone of Opportunity” as it is considered the luckiest of crystals, particularly in manifesting prosperity/wealth. It’s kept as a charm of good luck.

Actually I don’t know much about crystals and their benefits. This brooch which also doubles as a pendant, caught my eye because it is so colourful and pretty. It reminded me of a Nyonya style brooch. It’s quite different and unique from the mass produced brooches which I saw online.

I placed the order on 12.12, the seller shipped the parcel on 13.12 and I received it on 14.12, yesterday. Very efficient seller who is extremely professional as she responded to my initial enquiries even way past midnight. At the price of RM30, I think it’s really worth it as this is the only one (green aventurine) sold by the seller although she had a turquoise variant and still has a rose quartz one left. It was very nice of the seller to include some free gifts.
