So, thank you. I'm just now catching up on all the blogs that I follow. <br />Jewelry for most people has meaning, and the idea of wearing an amulet, trandscends the intrinsic value of the any piece. I absolutely adore the idea of a piece given in love and worn with appreciation like your Je t'aime bracelet.Belle de Villehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045827018848979761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-78456833304210072732010-06-06T22:45:27.361-04:002010-06-06T22:45:27.361-04:00My amulet is the most cherished posession of my la...My amulet is the most cherished posession of my late Aunt - an Early Victorian Men's Tie NEcklace of Silver, Gold , Onyx and Opal. Hard to describe - an ornate medaillon slider on a heavy silver chain, like a bolo tie perhaps. She loved it so much - and wearing it I feel intesely connected to her through time and space.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-3051388620610735002010-06-04T22:35:43.074-04:002010-06-04T22:35:43.074-04:00It's funny, but for some reason I don't we...It's funny, but for some reason I don't wear pendants, it just doesn't occur to me.<br /><br />I do wear bracelets and especially like a lot of different earrings. <br /><br />Your pendants look gorgeous.Glennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681336164718681936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-64468236357778045882010-06-03T08:08:35.104-04:002010-06-03T08:08:35.104-04:00Duchesse, I'll send you some pix when I get ba...Duchesse, I'll send you some pix when I get back from Madrid.

Would love to see; I enjoy the jingles, you do too, while other women don't wear them for that reason.<br /><br />metscan: What a lovely gesture of gratitude. He is a very shy, elderly cat.<br /><br />Tessa: A tender memory, and wearing it for thirty years, the bracelet becomes part of you. (And a testimony to how well made it was.) <br /><br />lagatta: I remember when Renzo went missing and his remarkable return! Your fetish may not be suitable for mounting- like you, I don't like to alter them. Some people carry them in their pockets but I like fetishes displayed on a small stand or bookshelf.<br /><br />Our cat is a big boy, very lynx like.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-56628375421427292232010-06-02T13:24:11.688-04:002010-06-02T13:24:11.688-04:00Very, very touching.

I don't know how to mount it on a necklace - I don't want to have a hole drilled into it. <br /><br />In response to this posting, I've just opened up the little authentification card accompanying the fetish, with the artist's name, and several of Renzo's long white whiskers fell out. (Renzo is almost all black, so the whiskers are striking). I must have inserted them in the card when Renzo went missing the autumn before last, so I guess all of us have our superstitions. He did return, after 5 weeks away. The fetish lives in the drawer of my office desk.<br /><br />I hadn't noticed your cat - I couldn't see that pic very well but clicked on it to enlarge it. He is a beautiful cat, but looks as big as a lynx, knowing that you are 5'10"! He's twice Renzo's size.lagatta à montréalhttp://www.lemab.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-75481047654564526082010-06-02T09:38:38.219-04:002010-06-02T09:38:38.219-04:00I wear a silver Monet bangle that was a birthday g...I wear a silver Monet bangle that was a birthday gift from a favorite aunt 30 years ago.

I had a golden one earlier, but I gave it as a gift to a now young woman, who had taken care of our horse, Golden, for a year, before we could take her home, as we were rebuilding our stable. I thought she deserved it. I guess I´d always choose an equestrian amulet, as horses have been a part of our family for so long. I do like the gold bracelet you are wearing. It is well in proportion with you, as you are tall. And I like your cat, so big! This is the first time i got to see her/him.mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-31943006243692782622010-06-02T09:05:13.406-04:002010-06-02T09:05:13.406-04:00I've got a Mexican "orthoceras" (or ...I've got a Mexican "orthoceras" (or "cucaracha de mar") pendant that always makes me feel special. It's a talisman for sure.
