The Mackay Emerald Necklace. This incredible Art Deco piece was designed by Cartier and presented to Clarence H. Mackay in 1931. He gave it to his wife as a wedding gift.

“The stunning Mackay Emerald was mined in Muzo, Colombia. The finest emeralds are found in the region around Muzo and Chivor, Colombia. These green gems were used by indigenous peoples for at least 1,000 years before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadores in the 16th century. Although spurred primarily by their passion for gold and silver, the Spanish quickly recognized the potential of the exquisite green crystals and took control of the mines.

Emeralds became popular among European royalty and were shipped from the New World by the boatload. The great richness of the Colombian mines led to a glut of emeralds in Europe, triggering a brisk trade of the gemstones to the Middle East and India. The Mogul rulers in India were especially fond of emeralds and encouraged a vast gem cutting and jewelry industry. Many finished pieces were traded back to Europe.

Meet the team

More of my favorites, but what if I modified their personalities in the Keitanchi AU?

Hoshikaze Kirara/ Isabel/ Crystal Starr: I was often thinking of her as some third protagonist that the rest of the characters don’t know about. She would help Keita and Kanchi on occasions, and have her beauty attract some yokai, especially some of the rarest ones. Some might even live in her house, but she wouldn’t notice. Also, it’s possible that she would have a few rivals who would be jealous of her beauty, most likely Fumi or Mai (Maya). ALSO also, she would pretty much parody the Ojou-sama (young lady) trait, saying her usual “ohoho’s” and ““ara ara’s”, but would also break down on the inside sometimes. She was technically one of my most favorite characters in the Yokai Watch franchise; I was falling for her when I got to know her and I think she and her friends deserved more.

Hazawa Junko/ Chloe: I thought of her as the dumb muscle of some sort (I was going for a similar dynamic to Keita, Kanchi, and Kuma’s relationship right there). She would be the more threatening one of the group, would be intimidating to others who wouldn’t agree to her, act dumb most of the time (like not getting even the simplest things sometimes), and since her favorite subject in school would be P.E., she would often dress in her gym uniform with a skirt hiding her shorts. While I’m still going for making her praise Kirara like in the original, I wanted to add onto her personality to make her stand out like her because seriously? You guys are just going to make two characters that have the exact same simple tactics?
