She was a precious jewel, his angel. But far more beautiful and strong than any gem.

Her eyes were brighter than the most perfect sapphire. Her hair was darker than jet. The beauty of her soul, her kindness, her love, was almost blinding, brighter than the flare of a diamond.

Steve looked down at the ring she wore on her finger. He had given it to her only a few hours ago, and, despite her joy, he could not help but still think the small gem was wholly inadequate for her.

His beautiful angel, far more precious than any jewel.

*****

He was a precious jewel. His hair, brighter than gold, his blue eyes, more lustrous than any gem.

He, of them all, was one who was not... afraid, intimated by her, to be her lover. A mortal man daring to love her, an Amazon Princess.

Diana looked down at the ring upon her finger. The gem was smaller than almost all her other jewels, gifted by her Mother and Sisters. But that just made it all the more perfect, a precious jewel indeed, though no match at all for her golden pilot.

AWWWWW! Beautifully written description. And I agree with the “more beautiful and strong than any gem” line.

You write these description so brilliantly!

Steve looked down at the ring she wore on her finger.

I love how they both were looking at the ring. And that Diana loved it.

Wonderful job Star! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing story. :)

What a beautiful fulfillment of my prompt, Star! *dances* :)

I love the descriptions of Steve and Diana as seen through each other's eyes. It's natural for Steve to feel that his diamond is a little inadequate considering Diana's beauty and Amazon jewels but of course Diana is impressed by his lack of intimidation and fear in loving her.

What a perfect ficlet! :)

I really liked exploring their thoughts on each other, how they have similar thoughts, but not quite the same.

Thank you for commenting, Brady, and for requesting this! :)

Awwww, I just love the detail that the gem is smaller than a lot she has from her Amazon sisters, but that it means so much to her... Perfect!

I really liked that detail myself! :)

Thank you for commenting, Jen, I'm so glad you liked this! :)
