So yeah......

Every last un-bill allocated cent I have will now be going to debt. Both of my credit cards have hiked my rates (one DOUBLED!?!?!?!). They do not care that I have perfect payment history, nor my credit score is good enough to be financed on a home. It is due to "economic downturn, in the current economic climate". Yeah, smart move. Screw over the people that are already having trouble by upping their payments, and having less go to principal. Ugh.

So.....window shopping ONLY. Or trades, which is one of the things I feel very lucky I can do, having a trade skill and all.

Anyway, aside from me wanting to punch my 2 credit cards in the head, this blog is about jewels. I have become super obsessed with what I like to describe as estate jewelry. I mainly troll for this on e-bay. So here are some eye candy.









This last one is what is called a "trembler". Meaning not only does it look pretty but it actually moves, or trembles when you wear it. Years ago when I worked in an office downtown, I dropped off a flier to a jewelry store, and they happened to be cleaning one of these. The ladies that owned the store were fantastic and always liked to show my pretty things. It was much more massive, older, and valuable. It was the most beautiful peice of jewlery I have ever seen, and I doubt I will ever see again, since it was to be put back in the saftey deposit box where it lived.
