<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; OK, I admit it, I was surfing during a commercial, and I saw
this beautiful ring and earrings that stopped me in my tracks.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">I’m not much of a crystal person but these
were Art Deco and classy!</font></p><div align="justify">

</div><div align="justify">

</div><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Yes, it was <a href="http://jewelry.hsn.com/heidi-daus_c-j_a-664_xc.aspx?sz=11&amp;cm_re=LN*Brand*HeidiDaus&amp;prev=hp!sf&amp;lastbc=!664">HSN and Heidi Daus</a>.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">Went to the web site and looked at all the rest of her
jewelry.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">No, I didn’t like everything I
saw, but I loved a great deal of it!</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp;
</span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">Wished I could afford everything.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp;
</span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">There was even one ring that was definitely not my usual style but had
me salivating.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">Large amethyst crystal
enclosed around the outside of the stone with metal work &amp; crystal leaves
and flower shapes.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">Substantial yet
delicate – not gaudy.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">It just looked
perfect.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">I could see it on my
hand.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">I could almost feel it.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font></p><div align="justify">

</div><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font><!--[endif]--><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The fourth item that really caught my eye was a gorgeous
broach, again Art Deco, again amethyst crystals but also with a pearl.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">The broach would set off a classy dinner
suit. It would look good on a very chic silk blouse at the collar.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">Put it on a frillier dress or blouse on the
shoulder or at the collar. It would look spectacular a solid color silk scarf
draped around the neck and pinned off to the side.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">I might find a converter and wear it as a pendant depending on
the garment neckline style.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">It needs to
have the right setting to be shown off and would not look well on heavy
fabrics.</font></p><div align="justify">

</div><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"> </font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><o:p></o:p></font></p><div align="justify">

</div><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The products are plentiful and the designs range from
“Baroque Lavishness” to “Art Deco Chic”.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp;
</span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">That are the description on the HSN web site and I couldn’t think of
better ones.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">There were spectacular
necklaces and earrings but also the delicate and demur items as well.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">The offering included bracelets, watches,
and even hair clips. It is a splendid array of delightful and beautiful
items.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font></p><div align="justify">

</div><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"> </font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><o:p></o:p></font></p><div align="justify">

</div><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ms. Daus attention to detail is exceptional and goes so far
as to work the clasps into the designs.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp;
</span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">For example a necklace is as beautiful from the back as well as the
front.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">Her two decades of experience
has served her well and, in my opinion, puts her in a class by herself.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">The majority of her jewelry could be
mistaken for antique.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">In addition, her
designs will appeal to all ages and tastes.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp;
</span></font></p><div align="justify">

</div><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;</font><!--[endif]--><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Yes, I am gushing again, but for good reason.</o:p></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">However, let me warn you, these items don’t
come cheap. And they shouldn’t.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">But a
number of things were in the $50 to $75 price range.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">The more lavish and detailed items ranged in price from $200 and
up. I remember one necklace was $450.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">A
little hefty for me but it is gorgeous!</font></p><div align="justify">

</div><div align="justify">

</div><p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I was very pleasantly surprised.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4">Don’t just take my word for it, go see for yourself.</font><font color="#440bdf" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><span style="">&nbsp; </span></font></p><div align="justify">

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Surfing the Web this morning and came upon a site you should
visit for Celtic Jewelry - the New Moon Occult Shop.&nbsp; They are in the
UK and offer a wealth of things including some fine Celtic Jewelry.&nbsp;
Now personally, I am not a believer in the Occult.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&nbsp; do like
fairies&nbsp; and dragons and mystical&nbsp; things -&nbsp; the images and stories -&nbsp;
but&nbsp; go no further than that.</font></font><br></div><div align="justify"><font color="#ab12b6" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><font color="#891691" size="3">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This online shop deals mainly in sterling silver Celtic
jewelry - everything from&nbsp; rings, necklaces and&nbsp; earrings to anklets
and ear cuffs.&nbsp; A good variety. In a general area there is a beautiful
butterfly necklace that I want, but with the exchange rate as it is,
I'll have to wait a while!</font></font><br></div><div align="justify"><font color="#ab12b6" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><font color="#891691" size="3">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The exchange rate is the only thing that gives me a real
problem with considering this site (I just ignore the hard core Occult
stuff).&nbsp; Unfortunately, those of us in the US are at a disadvantage at
this time.&nbsp; However, I recommend visiting anyway and adding to your
wish list because you never know when things will change and the
exchange rates will do a 90 or 180 degree reverse.</font></font><br></div><font color="#ab12b6" face="Times New Roman" size="4"><font color="#891691" size="3"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;See my&nbsp; <b>Links</b> page to go straight to the New Moon Occult Shop.&nbsp; See you again soon, </font><b><font color="#891691" size="3">LynnZ</font></b></font>]]></content>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ever buy Costume Jewelry with a well known name only to have
it break within 2 months of reasonable wear?&nbsp; That's one of my pet
peeves.&nbsp; I purchased a watch and a necklace only to have the metal
crack and break.&nbsp; A necklace ....maybe, I can be hard on them.&nbsp; But a
watch?&nbsp; They should be made for rough wear whether they are made for
everyday wear or special occasions.&nbsp; </font><font color="#5425d5"><br></font><font color="#5425d5">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The one I bought, I wore once or twice a week and at the end
of two months the metal where the watch attached to the band sort of
peeled apart.&nbsp; It didn't seem very hard at all.&nbsp; Kind of like it was
mixed with plastic.&nbsp; Now, I spent about $75 on that watch on one of the
TV shopping channels. The necklace did just about the same thing -
broke where the pendent attached to the chain.&nbsp; Both impossible to
fix.&nbsp; Both out of the 30 day money back guarantee.&nbsp; Talked to both the
sales outlet and the brand customer service, to no avail (they only
guaranteed the "works", not the case.&nbsp; The only thing I could do was
throw them away and never buy that brand again.</font><font color="#5425d5"><br></font><font color="#5425d5">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since then, I have purchased additional jewelry from that
particular outlet.&nbsp; However, I make sure I wear it enough during the
guarantee period to determine the durability.&nbsp; So far, only one item
has not passed the test.&nbsp; In addition, I've decided that, to me, unless
it's sterling silver, not to spend $75 on a watch.&nbsp; I have no use for
gold or diamond watches.&nbsp; They just don't fit my lifestyle.</font></font></font></font></font>]]></content>
