“Oh, this old thing? It’s just a regular necklace. It wasn’t expensive at all,” she said in a casual tone. “It’s a design by X called Azure.”

She instinctively began to stroke the pendant hanging from the delicate chain. “This is a pretty rare blue diamond, too. I’ve always loved her work. You know what a big fan of hers I am.”

However, Azure wasn’t a recent design. In fact, it was quite an old design⁠—a classic from X’s earlier years.
