I wanna see those Talbots pieces for sure!<br />Belle: How I would love to see some examples. So are you wearing jackets, or are your brooches on sweaters, or?<br />Mardel: Kicking myself too, that I did not speak up when relatives offered some pieces. <br />mestscan: your question is so interesting I'm going to think, then post... so often you make nuanced observations, Thanks!<br />Frugal and sallymandy- I commented on someone's blog recently that BR jewelry is not worth buying. A careful troll of vintage stores (and you are both queens of that!) would yield much better made costume pieces.<br />Dana: We have twin boys in common. There are many options besides Yurman and do look in vintage or antique stores. True about earrings, but I still fall for them!Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-36536102051740471222009-08-27T17:24:52.949-04:002009-08-27T17:24:52.949-04:00And I still want a heavy silver chain necklace.

How many times has someone complimented your earrings, and you have to reach up to your lobes? <br /><br />Wear all of the above with this fall's dramatic draping, or the classic shawl, scarf, or ruana! <br /><br />And, try etsy for fun vintage jewelry. <br /><br />Or, as my twins (almost 3 year old boys) say, Neck-oh-lis. Brace-oh-let. Ear. Rings.

I like to wear very little jewelry ( I have renewed, traded nearly all my former jewelry ). The pieces I now have satisfy me completely, and I hope I can hold `my horses´, and from now on only admire jewelry without an urge to buy something. I have noticed that this need to renew myself is going on with clothes, shoes, furniture, everything. Have you Duchesse experienced it ever?

I love the bracelets.<br /><br />Deja, you might want to try real Indian bangle bracelets (usually 22 k gold) which tend to be quite a lot smaller than the regular Canadian gold ones. In India the girls help each other squeeze their hands so they got into them and then never take them off.diverchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07753507927794435960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-26925489003956342912009-08-27T12:02:57.628-04:002009-08-27T12:02:57.628-04:00Great choices!

I will probably never run to pricey jewelry but I am much more willing to wear bracelets and brooches than I used to be -- the LWL look, as you say, is having more appeal just for its indulgent whimsey. I have a starfish brooch, silver-coloured and covered tiny rhinestones that I love wearing in summer. A vintage cameo. An enamelled elephant whose ears move and who sports rhinestone eyes. But the LWL piece I'm going to get much enjoyment from, 'cause it also works into everyday very well, is Pater's anniversary gift, a Tiffany bracelet of sterling-silver balls -- next time I'm in To. I'll wear it for our drinks on the rooftop at,what was it, Drake's? You'll, of course, be sparkling in something fab!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-64557850838666064022009-08-27T11:03:39.554-04:002009-08-27T11:03:39.554-04:00Love your choices.

A couple of years ago I started really looking at LWL jewelry, and particularly noticing and admiring the jewelry worn by my now elderly aunt -- classic Southern LWL stuff, which I had previously disdained. Now I am surprised at how much I would love some pieces like hers.Mardelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850551308931710502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-72188721701890557182009-08-27T10:42:49.774-04:002009-08-27T10:42:49.774-04:00I love the Seaman Schlepps Fish Broach!!

I'm really liking that j.Crew bracelet, but wonder if it's adjustable as my wrists and hands are really small. Bangles and other bracelets tend to slide off which is why I generally stick with the stretchy kind.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.com
