Diamond or paste?

Rhinestones shine. They have glitter. I bought a very blue rhinestone bracelet from ebay. More folks have commented on it than any bracelet bought from a jewelry store. I think the bracelet cost me fifteen dollars. Do you like glitter and rhinestones or would you prefer a string of black pearls? The ground is mostly covered with dirty snow here. I do not have a mall to wander in. Its the time of year that I crave color and glitter and maybe rhinestones. Guess I could go wander in the ebay mall....

Oh I absolutely love the glitter and rhinestone 'fake' necklaces and bracelets - and I have MANY! Too many! I have no real valuable jewelrt except a silver charm bracelet which was a gift when I came of age many decades ago. I have glittery things that mix and match and something for every outfit and each Christmas for the last few years I have given a slightly more expensive one from me to me They certainy cheer me up too and I don't have to worry aboutlosing them either as they are so cheap.

@mysdianait I'm guessing that you also love crystal jewelry. Your collection must be gorgeous and glamorous.

@sallypup Yes I like crystal and wooden jewelry too. Acrually I am not sure what some of the pieces that i have are made of but some, like yours, catch the attention of people when I am out. I feel good wearing them and would not feel the same if they were gold or real pearls.

@sallypup It took 4 guys to get it in and now it's loaded so I don't think anyone is going to carry it off.

@abbygreenhill I've heard of folks who just haul the entire safe away.

It is nice to be able to cheer oneself with purchases of all things glittery. Sounds a lovely piece.

@sallypup Here in Switzerland we do not have thrifts and pawn shops, but we have shops who sell vintage and antique items.

@ladyduck Now I am curious. What are your thrift shops and pawn shops like in your country? When we visited Victoria, Canada, I found super nice second hand stores. Much nicer than the ones near me.

Nice find! I don't like a lot of bling personally, but a good amount is fine.

@andriaperry Your remark brings a pirate's chest to mind. Like in those old movies where the pirates run their fingers through gobs of pretty treasure.
