A Great Day On Line!

Just a quick jewelry blog update:

Check out www.luckymag.com for a free chance to win tip-of-the-trend diamond jewelry by names you'll recognize, like Bittersweet, Diamonds In the Rough, and many, many others.  The total amount of diamond jewelry Lucky is giving away is over $125,000!  So enter- you may get Lucky!The drawing is at the end of February, so you have time...but there are so many opportunities you'll need to get started now.  Best of all, you can enter with email.  So many sites require Facebook or Twitter to enter these days so that those of us with privacy issues can't play.  It's my choice, but I AM grateful to Lucky Magazine for sticking with email entries.

ONE of the prizes is a $3,500 shopping spree at Greenwich Jewelers, and there are three of those! 

Www.Jewelsnob.com has an article about Plukka, a company that sells cutting edge jewelry for significantly less than it retails due to...well, check it out.  I'll be bookmarking Pluka's website (www.plukka.com) and hitting it frequently since it definitely fits my motto: "Never pay retail for jewelry."

Plukka's Coliseum ring, 18 kt white gold, .90 carats diamonds, "historically accurate" walls- event begins 15 Jan.

Charm and Chain's blog, at http://blog.charmandchain.com/, has the best guest blogger ever. Sari Tuschman blogged about jewelry and its relation to time and emotion, as well as told an inspirational story about a jewelry collection.  Plus, you can see a jawdroppingly beautiful engagement ring.  Congratulations Ali Galgano! 

Splendor is back!   Yay!!!!  http://carlotta-wwwsplendor.blogspot.com/

Astley Clarke has a 50% off sale with designer pieces like the Jules Verne Baby Jellyfish ring, by Stephen Webster, up for grabs for 50% off!  This meets the dictum, "Never pay retail for jewelry," so snap up pieces by Pippa Small, Alex Monroe, and many, many others.
