Favorites from Prague, with Dolores

Yes, I had to buy a new camera on this trip, but I can assure you this is as beautiful as the original scene was. Prague is awesome! I had no idea it would be such a sophisticated well preserved city. After a day with our tour guide I learned Prague was one of the few major European cities not destroyed during WW2, therefore the buildings are very old. The architecture is some of the most ornate, detailed I've ever seen. Every building is covered with carvings! I won't bore you with the hundreds of pictures I've already taken of buildings. The St. Charles bridge, pictured here is one of the three oldest and best preserved in Europe. It's closed to motor traffic so it's great for a moonlight stroll. Did I say how romantic this city is?

So far, I haven't really found any great jewelry! I'm sorry to report, just tons of ugly garnet and amber pieces, I just can't get into. But, there are such fun things here, like the cute puppets pictured here. I was so tempted to buy one, the cleaning lady in the beads, (4th in on the left) was my favorite. I still may go back for her! The other great thing here is the music, there are concerts everywhere of all sorts. It seems there were some great composers here, and they love music!

Favorite buys this week!  Since I haven't found anything to buy in Prague yet, I thought I'd show you a few more of my favorites from Istanbul. This gold plated and oxidized silver pendant is unique in all the world, in fact it looks like an old world piece. Enhanced with faceted crystals, rubies & emeralds make this one-of-a-kind piece a real find.I just loved the design.. It's about 1 1/2 inches long and comes with a gold plated 18 inch chain. $95 (matching earrings are also available)

Have you ever known me not to find pearls where ever I go? I'm going to start a new line of jewelry called "Not your mother's pearls" and this piece will be included. It's a real show stopper, pearls, emeralds, and rubies set in 22k gold plating and of course we must have our silk tassels! (sorry I don't remember the price, call Sue at the shop she'll know)

I waited two weeks to buy these fun bracelets! Each one is unique but all are hand sewn on a silk or tapestry background. I bought 10 pieces so call if you want to see the selection. They are too much fun and a great price! $55

If you're interested in more information on any of the pieces shown, please call Sue at the shop and she'll give you a complete description. I hope you know we guarantee everything, therefore if you order something and it doesn't meet your expectation, we'll be happy to take it back for 30days after receipt! NO worries. No hassels.
