I am not in New York City and am quite a bit more southern than that. As for “best of the best” that depends on how well the question fits my particular expertise. My main knowledge is in jewelry work, whether making a piece from scratch or repairing great grandmother’s hand-me-down

14K Yellow Gold South Sea Cultured Pearl Earrings

I promised myself I would do two things this new year (in addition to those I posted about previously).  First, I would see projects from start to finish in a more timely fashion, no more piles of greenware pmc that need “something” sitting there for months.  Second, I want to try some more ambitious projects.  To satisfy both promises I am currently building a heart shaped box bead that will have a pearl in the center.  I have made the top and bottom plates, the top plate has a round hole in it with a piece decorating the hole, the bottom is solid with a peg on the non-textured side, which will be the inside of the box and the peg faces the round hole in the top plate.  This peg will have the pearl mounted to it upon completion.  I might have set this aside at this point because I am unsure how the box bead will connect to a chain in order to make it a necklace.  Instead, I have forged ahead and this morning I have made the sides which will separate the two plates.  Next, I intend to adjust them and affix them to the back plate.  If that goes well, the front plate can be attached.  At that point I have to decide if I want to drill holes in the sides to run the chain through or if I want to attach loops or a bail.  I am excited with this piece so far.  I love the look of the separate items.  Here’s hoping the sum will be even greater than the parts!

With all of the issues we live with in this world today, it can be hard to trust in what you are buying.  Unfortunately, if you buy something that is “cheap” or didn’t cost you your whole paycheck, your conscious prepares you that it is probably going to break in the near future. There is NO reason to have to “enjoy it while it lasts.”  If you spend your hard earned money on something, it should last until YOU decide you don’t want it anymore! That’s why we decided to launch the Domaine Ltd.

Ann Taylor is one of my favorite places to shop. I realize that this says a little bit about my personal style, but hey, when I need another great pair of black pants or the perfect charcoal gray pencil skirt, I know I’m in the right place! Since I usually stick to the basics there, I took a quick swing by the jewelry section, just to see what they were showing. Much to my surprise I was blinded by the bling! The “ New Ann Taylor” (as they are calling the chain these days) had a boatload of great accessories.

What Should I Get My Girlfriend, Mother, Sister, for Christmas?

The finest quality natural pearls, specified by Wikipedia have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries and accordingly, the word pearl has become a metaphor for something very rare, very fine and very worthy – an object of beauty and timeless elegance.  However, not all pearls are valuable.  From the likes of Mikimoto to department store pearls and everything in between, there is no denying pearls do exude the illusion of luxury.  But that luxury changes depending on who wears the pearls and how they are worn. A four strand pearl choker, once worn by Queen Alexandra has quite a different feeling than a jumble of ropes of pearls worn with total irreverence by say, Sarah Jessica Parker in a scene from Sex in the City.  How those beaded pearl designs are worn determines the tone of the outfit.  A single strand of pearls worn on a little black dress might suggest elegant simplicity, or how about over sized faux pearls enhancing the neckline of a well tailored suit, or multi rows of pearls worn with jeans and a t-shirt.  Each description depicts a different visual of those very same pearls. How is it that one creamy orb can effectively mask itself from refined to stylish to devil-may-care?  All in how it’s worn.
