Hoʻopili nā mea hoʻolālā ma ka laina lole lole

"Noho au ma ka sofa ʻulaʻula. A aia ʻo ia ma ka hema, ma ka noho ʻulaʻula, "hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Rutledge i nā kau hoʻolālā i alakaʻi i kahi laina lole lole hiki iā ia ke kapa wale "ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ke ola." "He aloha, wiwo ʻole. ʻAno i nehinei, i kēia lā a me ka lā ʻapōpō," wahi āna. ʻO ka mea kikoʻī, ua hōʻailona ʻo Rutledge i nā mea nani a Vreeland (kūʻai ʻia mai $100 a hiki i nā tausani) he hōʻiliʻili "alahaka", ʻo ia ka mea e hoʻopili ai i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka waiwai a me ka lole. Aia ka laina i nā pōhaku synthetic, nā momi faux, cubic zirconia a me ka vermeil (ke kala kala i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ke gula) a me nā pōhaku semiprecious, e like me amethyst, coral, topaz a me tourmaline.
