Best Purchase Of 2012

[princesss]

Hmmm. Probably my trips this summer (I was living in Europe so did weekends away about once a month).

Actually, my knee is probably my best purchase. I got an ACL replacement in October, and the putting myself on the path to a fully funtional joint is the best purchase I made this year.

I really wish it was something more fun.

Jewelry will always come up first for me as far as material possessions go, and I bought too much in 2012! I think my best bargains were two additional Beaudry settings from Pearlman's for RHR's if I can ever find center stones for them! The other amazing find was a South Sea pearl pendant with rose cut diamond that I bought for a fraction of the current $5800 price!

Non-jewelry would probably be my iPhone 5 and iPad, and Disney World trip with my sister and our teen girls.

HI:

Yes, your pearl pendant is a gem! Doesn't matter the age, when isn't Disney fun???

P.S. Look at the pearl thread, 4Ranch girl had tips about "restringing" pearls....

The O.G bag from Lo and Sons. I travel often and also have to carry a laptop and files to work everyday, and this bag fits the bill! It's light, sleek and helps keep my stuff organized.



I tend to prefer leather because it looks a little more professional but my shoulders and petite frame just can't handle another 4 pounds of extra weight if I went with a leather briefcase.

HI:

Smart bag; looks great too! Save that extra 4 pounds for carrying around new jewellery purchases!

cheers--Sharon

Sharon,

if I could afford and rock a 4 pound diamond (my gosh it must be a bazillion carats!) I would gladly do so, who cares about weight and poor posture!

My rolling mill. It is far from the best but it meets most of my needs. It has changed the way I work.

HI:

I want to say I know exactly what you mean, when I in fact I have no idea what a rolling mill is. Do I need one?

cheers--Sharon

Well, do you enjoy playing with metal? A rolling mill squishes metal between two rollers, so that it becomes thinner, either as sheet or square wire. It is a tremendously useful piece of equipment! Since I was too cheap to go electric, it also gives me a nice upper arm workout.

Mine is similar to this: http://www.cactusdobrasil.com.br/MaisProduto.asp?Produto=831 I would love a Durston but it was out of the budget.

HI:

So that is what they are called. I used this machine in my Dad's jewellery shop; when I worked for him, fixing jewellery. Never knew the name!
