Birthday stone

I have never loved my birthday stone of sapphire for September as much as I do this year after Richard bought me the large navette sapphire ring on my middle finger. Add a couple of diamonds and these rings really pop.

large heart

I want this bracelet! Those who know me well know my fetish for large hearts. This is a bracelet. I think I will order it since it looks like I can fix it to fit my small wrist! Who can beat Jewelry from China on eBay?

shell

I love jeweled shells and have a collection of them. This one is a volute from China and would go perfectly with my necklace of jeweled shells shown below.

flowers

Isn't this a lovely collection of vintage flowers. I don't have room for any more vintage stuff, but I love this lot.
It's up for bid on eBay as we speak.

more charms

I've added some new charms since I last featured this bracelet  most notably the big dachshund which I got in Richmond VA and the black cat which I had lying around. I also got a gold little puppy and want to add more gold charms in the future.

heart ring

So I got this heart shaped ring in the mail today. It's from China and I think really cool. Let's just say it was less than five bucks including the shipping. There was a beautiful version of this "living heart" by Digby and Iona that I fell in love with but couldn't afford at the time. This is a nice substitute.

metal clad dogs


As a dog lover, I made this little charm bracelet with old gumball prizes from the '40's and '50's. They are actually metal clad plastic forms and are in lovely shape for being so old. I'll have to wear this only for special events.
