Darling, yes, of course I admire the necklace, with a delicate ruby, that I gave you, because you too admire it, but my eyes drift to that tender hollow between throat and chest-bone, then to the color of your skin--and to lines suggested by your collar-bones. Then up my gaze goes to your face, a smiling face, which now becomes a slightly suspicious visage. There's everything to admire there.
And then of course your hair, which now I kiss and sniff--your suspicions verified: I've lust not jewelry on my mind.
It's not as if the necklace is irrelevant, oh no. It's just that it's the starting point on the treasure-map, the map and treasure both being you. The questions are many. The questions include what will you decide to say and do, how do you see me, and will you offer your consent to me, your admirer.
