Because Style is Everything, Jewelry is More!


"Because style is Everything, Jewelry is More!"  ~ Will Gibbles

I am not sure who Will Gibbles is, but I sure do love his quote.  It reminded me of these "pirate" treasures that I found.  This is a red garnet vintage ring, sterling silver. And the other is a red glass bead from a truly exquisite vintage necklace.  Don't you just love this picture?

An Example of Faux Jewelry

Often I am asked, "How do you know it's real when you buy it?"  
What a LOADED question!  Do you have hours? 
Unfortunately, few do, so I often opt out of the conversation with "Well, sometimes you just know."
Too many variables and detailed explanations required.
But
SOMETIMES.
YOU.
JUST.
KNOW!
Like this one for example, it's beautiful! But the stone is obviously plastic to touch and it is glued onto the band.  Now, the band is more unique, most likely aluminium - that is why I bought it - but it has been stretched to fit the fake stone. Not too much value here, but I LOVE the fun fancy. 
 So, yes, I have it. 
And am selling it - eventually. 
It's hard to part with anything - even fake jewelry.

Feature: A Gold Watch that Brings Back Time


This Gold watch is an excellent gift, but for a very small arm.  The lady who wore it, was very tiny! 
Measurements available on request. 
It is battery operated and still works!
