They came.
He pushed them,
And they flew.

Ooooh Yeaahhh
07/29/09You know that song from the Micheal J. Fox movie, "The Secret of My Success?"
It's by a Swiss electronica band called Yello -- it's very synthesized and different and this deep voice keeps repeating poignantly . . . . . "Oooooh Yeaahh . . ."
Baby, when I see this necklace, I hear that song.
Oooooh Yeaaahhh!

From Across the Room
07/24/09Have you seen her? So fine and pretty
Fooled me with her style and ease
And I feel her from across the room
Yes, it's love in the third degree
Ooh, baby baby, Won't-cha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby baby, Ah come on! Take a chance
You're old enough to dance the night away . . .

Buckle Up!
07/23/09Buckle Up --- It's the Law.
And for good reason -- because it would be criminal to overlook these retro buckle beauties.
An oval and pearl one, two "D" shaped ones, one dark bluish stones, one clear, an abalone rectangle, one old celluloid and rhinestone, a distressed square, and a bombshell (former) circle pin in the middle.
Eclectic and mesmerizing together.
Of course each comes off to be enjoyed in it's singular beauty if that's the desire.
Either way -- Buckle UP!!!

Watch. Watch. Watch. Rolex.
07/22/09Of course it's not a genuine, Rolex. . . I hope, or it's gonna feel weird when I hear it was resold for megabucks.
It is fun -- four clunky chunky watches come together to make a bracelet that makes you look twice -- or perhaps even four times.

Denise Richards in Anthill?
07/18/09Ok -- Marjorie is gonna kill me for that title, but I SWEAR she looks like Denise Richards.
If she wanted a second career, she could go to Hollywood and be her stand-in.
But she doesn't need to do that -- she's got too good a gig here.
She's the brains and webmaster behind the highly regarded website that lists historic properties (translation -- often mansions) for sale from all over the world.
Her site's testimonial page is staggering. Old home buffs don't know where they'd be without her.
And did I happen to mention she's got AMAZING taste in necklaces?
Here's a FANTASTIC all sterling number she got some time ago.
It's a signed Armani base with some of the most fabulous 1960's signed former earrings I've ever collected -- mostly Eames era, vintage Taxco, even Spratling style pieces.
Oh yes -- Marjorie knows the good stuff!!
In both homes and in jewelry!!

Where For Art Thou, Juliet?
07/15/09I mean, Where For Art Thou, Little Donna?
It's been like -- a whole WEEK since you've been in!
;)
You look MAAAHHHVELOUS DAHLING!
Btw, Donna got this necklace for a very special birthday -- that begins with an F and ends with an 0, if you catch my drift --
Can you believe that?
Her husband called me up while Donna was in Anthill and said, "here's my card number -- tell my wife to get whatever she wants."
With husbands like that, who needs sugar daddies??
Love ya Little Donna -- thanks for being such an amazing model for my jewelry and for spreading the word --
YOU ROCK FIVE-O LIKE NO ONE ELSE BABY!!

Marie Antoinette's Peacock
07/12/09Gorgeous models. Runway shows.
Always a winner.
Another Grace Duval fantasy creation. A take on stylized and geniusly designed Maria Antoinette couture.
Complete with a levered tailfeather system, such that the fan feathers can be raised high above the head, or billow to the ground, at will.
And meet the incomparable Grace herself, shown here with her best friend and beautiful model, Melanie Hearn.
The other lovely model is Ava Barr.
Grace has me make necklaces when this piece is on show, and a new morph is always exciting!
Here are three we've used in the past. I wonder if we're gonna deplete the world of breathtaking old blue brooches??
No matter, at least we're filling it back up with breathtaking blue collage necklaces!!
Juice Collection pieces:
A1315, A1003, A0111

Got Chocolate? Really, do You?
07/09/09Because I need some.
I am craving chocolate. So I needed to placate myself by choosing a necklace to blog on that reminded me as much of Hershey's Special Dark with Almonds as possible.
This necklace is the winner.
Now, if I could only eat it. (I don't have any chocolate in the house, and I don't feel like going out).
Silly blog.
Pretty necklace.
Made from rich variegated dark chunks of polished tiger's eye which drip with wanton delight from faceted topaz crystals.
Later -- I'm going to the store . . .

Earth Angels
07/02/09
This is my girl Kim Schmidt.
In fact she's the city's girl. EVERYBODY adores Kim.
She has one of the kindest souls and spirits I have ever, EVER encountered.
I've been known to call her "DB" -- short for day-brightener, earth angel, Mother Teresa's daughter -- you get the picture.
Well, Kim's good friend Lisa has been going through breast cancer, and it's been a rough haul. And Kim has been there for her every step of the way.
Among so many other things, Kim is a excellent photographer and she's been doing many tribute and awareness photos on flickr in honor of Lisa.
Well, to thank her, Lisa knew Kim liked this necklace and called me unbeknownst to Kim and had me present it to her with a heartwarming thank you note.
Kim was clearly, clearly moved.
Kim and Lisa -- you are amazing peeps.
The world needs more like you.
Love you both.
