This unique 13 1/2 inch necklace is called Beyonka's Fruit. Beyonka grew up on an apple orchard that her family had owned in Boston, Massachusetts since the independence from Great Britain and the site of the first battles of the Revolutionary War in 1775. Beyonka hated the smell of apples. She would often joke and say if she had been Eve, people would still live in the Garden of Gethsemane. She eventually moved to Italy as an exchange student in the culinary arts. She worked at an upscale restaurant as an intern chef. Near-by there was a vineyard and wine press. The restaurant she worked at would get their finest wine from there. There was an old woman whom ran the place. Her son would often come by to check on his stubborn mother, who had refused to retire into the life of luxury he would provide, for he was very rich. Beyonka was a bit on the thick side, but she never apologized for it. She was beautiful regardless and it showed. Everyone who met her loved her. She went to the wine press on a particularly raining, but sunny day. The old woman that ran the wine press didnt like anyone, it even seemed like she didnt like her own son. But she loved Beyonka. Beyonka was blunt as the old woman. But Beyonka was sweeter to swallow, because of her bright constant smile. She and the old woman understood each other. Beyonka arrives as the old womans son was begging her to go with him on a vacation. The old woman refused over and over. Beyonka watched for awhile and then interrupted saying, Hello you must be her son, I have heard so much about you. He responded with a laugh of embarrassment, I hope nothing to bad. Beyonka said, The worst of course. Thats how I know she loves you. The old woman grumbled under her breath. Beyonka continued, Come back tomorrow and if she says no, come back every day at noon thats when it gets busy. After about 4 days she will say yes. Shes just scared she will have a good time and have something good to say. (laughing). The old woman shook her head, bringing the wine to Beyonka, she said, Dont waist your time listening to that silly advise, she grew up in Boston, she knows nothing of Italians. Needless you say, 2 days later the old woman took that trip. And 3 weeks later the old womans son invited Beyonka to dinner on his yacht. They did not become lovers (not because that was not his plan), but Beyonka was too much for him and she knew it, so they became very good friends. Her fruit was sweeter than the apples she had smelled too much of, sweeter than the grapes that the wine she cooked with was made from. It was a special fruit grown in her heart and easy to swallow. Tasting her sweet fruit had nothing to do with sex, but more about the day to day experience of her. Sweet fruit makes those around it want more. This necklace is about the fruit of a woman, or better said the gift of a woman. When you wear this piece, remember your fruit can be sweet or bitter, but make it sweet. The blessing of this necklace is that the sweetness of your fruit opens doors of infinite possibilities.
