Spirograph Necklace

Posted by Stacy in Fashion on February 22, 2009 at 9:00 pm


This only looks like it’s made out of those things we used to draw with the Spirograph toy as kids; it’s really just cotton and polyester. It comes in other colors too, but I like the multi-color the best. So much fun!

Cash4Gold: Is It For Real?

Posted by Queuebot in Crime & Law, Money & Finance on February 4, 2009 at 5:08 pm

Times are tough, and money is spread pretty thin, so you probably want to sell some of your stuff. If you decide to sell your gold jewelry to Cash4Gold, who has been running a lot of late-night TV and radio ads, read this article by Rob Cockerham of Cockeyed first:

Cash4Gold is nice enough to admit when they were trying to rip you off.

Since I saw the first commercial, I had a feeling that Cash4Gold might be a rip-off. They advertise during late-night cable television programming and on sports radio. This time slot is pretty crowded with what I call “red-flag” advertising. Another hint is that their DBA sounds more like a text message than an actual business name.
You are encouraged to send your “scrap” gold in a plastic bag, and to trust they will handle it securely and send a reasonable, near market-rate payment for the precious metal therein. They’ll take whatever gold items you have, so maybe it would be too complicated to offer actual prices posted on their website.

Growing Jewelry

Posted by Queuebot in Fashion on January 26, 2009 at 8:22 pm

Last I checked basic jewelry offers a vast multitude of stylish, and
some not-so-stylish, rings for consumers to choose from. We have
promise rings, mood rings, earrings, engagement rings, wedding rings,
class rings, Lord of the Rings (yes, Gollum’s “precious” is
available to purchase). But now, thanks to Icelandic designer Hafsteinn
Juliusson (try to say that five times fast), we now have … moss rings.

“Growing Jewelry is a redefinition of modern values. It is a clash of jewelry and gardening; couture and organism. The collection of this hand jewelry is designed for people in metropolitan cities and is an experiment in drawing nature toward man, as nature being the presupposition of life.”

Hand-Pierced Sterling Silver Necklaces

Posted by Stacy in Arts & Crafts on December 14, 2008 at 6:52 pm

I just discovered Anabella Designs on Etsy. Gorgeous stuff – this is a hand-pierced, sterling silver pendant. It’s even cut and filed by hand. I haven’t bought the sterling silver ones, but I did buy a couple of the enamel on copper pendants for Christmas gifts and am really excited to see them in person. I’m even more impressed because when I think about trying to do this on my own, I envision some major puncture wounds and a trip to the emergency room.
