Wearing whatever you want from Chopard's vault is probably a perk that goes with the Co-President gig- although it probably is not as much a perk as a requirement. Would someone please make that a job requirement for me?

Thank You
To all service members, past and present, who have served to keep this nation free- thank you. And to those who are currently serving in harm's way, may God bless and keep you free from harm.
Summer Jewelry II
Turquoise is THE summer stone. Maybe because it matches the hottest summer sky blue, perhaps because it's not dressy but goes with everything, but turquoise comes into its own during the hottest months. How many of you have favorite summer turquoise pieces? I'm wearing my five strand turquoise bead bracelet right now.
P.S. We hung pictures in the first floor of the new house today! And saw a bald eagle off of the back porch as we ate dinner! Homecooked meals for two days now- joy!

Snake Jewelry Is Always in Style
The Victorians loved snakes in jewelry, starting with Prince Albert's giving Vicky a snake ring (those crazy, kinky kids)! Now they are ubiquitous, often looking like something on loan from Voldemort. But this contemporary, beaded necklace is gorgeous!
Metalic and 24 karat gold plate over glass beads. Is this subtle or freaky?

Summer Jewelry I
Summer is almost here! Some jewelry seems more summery than others...so the next few posts will focus on jewelry best suited to the lazy, warm days to come.
A lot of summer jewelry goes best with tanned skin. While pale is most healthful, most of us will get a little color so our legs are not day-glo white and our cheeks have a little life. During the summer, we'll wear our white jewelry because we are not the color of paper.

Recent Lust
Rose cut black diamond studs, bezel set...yummmmmmm...The rounded, faceted face provides the extra reflective surfaces needed for sparkle since the stones are opaque. Classic and unexpected, simple and special.

These are lovely, in stainless steel and gold. Ms. Pruhl's website shows how her aesthetic has changed over the years, www.dorothea-pruhl.com.
These would be nice and light for summer.
For those who are following our saga- Day One of the move went well. We're exausted and sore, and as soon as I gulp down my apple fritter, we're into Day Two. Avant!

| Raven- love how the necklace captures the chaos of a raven nest |
