More to show!

I wanted to give a big thank you for those of you that came to my Baton Rouge show last week. It was my best show yet! The benefits of shows like that keep me going!

I sold lots of great things, but I have tons to showcase still! I'm getting better at keeping up a thriving inventory.

This is an antique gold filled knot that I just love. It looks so rich. I kept the pin on the back, but it can be easily removed if desired, though I find the luxury of having the pin and bale multi-functional, which is nice.  The bale is soldered on the back and sits on an 18 inch gold filled chain.

Fob bracelet

As promised, here is the first of (hopefully) a few pictures from Cherche. "Pictures from Cherche" happens when my husband has a little free time. I'm sure you've noticed that trend...

I love this piece. I've had the medals for a while and was waiting to put each of them on a sterling wire as four different necklaces. I then came across this heavy, good-looking, gold-filled link bracelet and thought it looked great this way. So here it is; ready to sell. As mentioned, the bracelet is gold-filled. The charms are sterling silver English medals from the early 1900s. One of them has the most beautiful initial engraving with the date 1914. The others have no engraving on the back.

I believe these were given as awards of some sort back in the day. A sterling keepsake certainly sounds better than a plastic four-foot trophy. Ahh, Americans...

Did I or didn't I?

I've had so many of you ask a very important question: did you get jewelry in France?

The answer is yes!

But it wasn't the abundance I was hoping for. I found everything to be expensive; too expensive. I had to have a level-headed perspective even though I was in France with "antiquites" luring me in.

I look forward to showcasing some jewelry before my upcoming show next week. Andrew said he could take pictures this weekend!
