“When we went to visit Elon’s mother in Toronto during the Christmas break of 1994，Elon gave me both the small ‘love，love，love’ note and the necklace，” said Gwynne in RR’s statement. “His mom had a number of these necklaces in a case in her bedroom，and Elon told me they were from his father’s emerald mine in South Africa — he pulled one from the case. And because I had not gotten him anything as a Christmas gift (and I felt very guilty about that)，he said we would consider the necklace an early birthday present for me.”
Gwynne 在RR的
“I wore the necklace for a number of years on and off，but it’s mostly been in my jewelry box for the last ten years (always reminding me of Elon，of course).”
“我断断续续地戴着这条项链好几年了，但在过去的十年里，它大多都在我的首饰盒里（当然，它总是让我想起Elon）。”
The necklace also comes with two photos，one of Musk and Gwynne with Musk’s mother，the model Maye Musk，and one of Musk and Gwynne at an end-of-the-year formal in 1995.
和项链一起出现的还有两张照片，一张是Musk、Gwynne与Musk的母亲的合影，她是一位模特。另一张是Musk与Gwynne在1995年年终的正式合影。
