I Was Naughty Yesterday and Bought Something Nice

[crafftygrrl]

I was at the Elizabeth Locke trunk show at Neiman Marcus and could not resist this toggle bracelet with semi-precious stones. I am addicted to her jewelry because it is so wearable everyday. It has 2 cabochon moonstones, 1 citrine, 1 pink tourmaline, 1 peridot and 1 blue tourmaline. I love it. The color of her 19K gold goes really well with my skin tone.

OMG!!

I love her work. I have been lusting after her YG link bracelet at Neimans for quite some time. It is around $6500.00 I think, but I will get it, after I get some more sparklies.

Beautiful piece.

Ann,

I don''t know if I am being a bad influence, but...

There''s a nice Locke bracelet on eBay. That''s how I purchased my first piece of Locke jewelry. I tried it on at Neiman''s (to be sure I liked the style, fit, etc.) Then I bid on the it and won.

Here''s the link.

It has not met the reserve yet. Her work is nice because of the finish too. As you wear her jewelry, the natural patina of use enhances the finish.

One last thing.
If any of you PSers happen to be in the N. Virginia Hunt Country, Elizabeth Locke has a shop called The Other Elizabeth in Boyce, VA (near Middleburg and Winchester). The shop is decorated as an Italian pallazzo. It''s both a hoot and gorgeous. She also devotes a section of her shop to the "Contessa''s Collection." This holds older pieces that have been marked down 1/2 off. I have purchased some rings and a necklace this way.

That is a truly incredible piece! I absolutely love it! The gold is the rich, mellow hue that I, personally, have come to prize above anything else! (The stones and the design aren''t too shabby, either!)

A big thumbs up!!!
