Jody's Jewelry Revival

Two of the most important things you need to know, how to store and how to clean your jewelry. Storing your jewelry . Generally speaking, there are three environmental elements that are detrimental to jewelry, moisture, chemicals and sunlight making a jewelry box the best place to store your jewelry. You can purchase jewelry boxes lined with anti-tarnish material. You can also purchase anti-tarnish strips and silica gel packets to absorb moisture and humidity. Note. genuine pearls are not to be stored in plastic or cardboard . You can purchase a jewelry bag to store them in or place them in your jewelry box making sure that they are not touching any other jewelry. I Googled green or blue discolor on silver jewelry.

Another one of Mom's necklaces. The designer is Amy Kahn Russell. I Googled, Amy Kahn Russell lavender freshwater pearl necklace. Nothing like it. I found a few freshwater pearl necklaces designed by her that were similar selling from $198 to $280. I have a confession to make. I came across the necklace in a tote of Mom's jewelry that I was going to take apart. It's a little "over the top" for my taste (it's also a very heavy piece). I think the small pearls and the faceted stones (I think they are quartz) would make beautiful necklaces (individually). I don't know what to think of the "spikes". Here's what her website has to say about her: Incorporating natural minerals, pearls, and fossils with semi-precious stones, Amy's designs become wearable pieces of art. Amy Kahn Russell jewelry is internationally sold in museum shops, art galleries, prestigious boutiques, catalogs, and specialty stores. My Price $100. Update. Aug 8, 2023. I found...

Impressionist’s Flower Pin. 1992. $15.00. “Graceful vase of colorful flowers in epoxy enamel.”      I don’t remember what I was searching for but I came across this brooch on Etsy: “Yves Saint Laurent for Avon. Van Gogh style sunflowers, Impressionist’s Flower Pin, 1992. The owner claims it’s VERY RARE. $180.00.      Google. Yves Saint Laurent for Avon Van Gogh. There’s a full page of photos and various prices from 129.97 to 300.00. I found it more than 17 times so it’s not VERY RARE.     One thing to remember about AVON.
