Crazy About Jewelry

I have just finished reading "Crazy About Jewelry", The Expert Guide to Buying, Selling and Caring for Your Jewelry, the new book by Susan Eisen. Look for my review of this comprehensive jewelry guide on Fashion Jewelry and SPJ over this coming weekend.

Susan is an international jewelry expert, certified gemologist, fine jeweler, award-winning entrepreneur, and speaker based in El Paso, Texas where she owns two jewelry stores. With over 27 years experience as a fine jeweler, Susan's sage advice, tips and techniques for organizing, storing, and caring for your jewelry, and lively down to earth writing style makes "Crazy About Jewelry" an invaluable jewelry lover's companion.

New on SPJ

I have just added a Diamonds in the News RSS. Check it out from the sub-top menu for some interesting stories about diamonds. The site it links to has quite a learning centre as well.

Blogs

Seems like everyone has a blog these days and I will pass on any I find that features jewelry. Here's one to watch, http://www.funkyfinds.blogspot.com/

Etsy Finds

Hi Y'all!

Just poking around the wonderful Etsy and came across something I have never seen before, reverse carving on lucite. Check it these interesting pieces from G. Paul Studios http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8738260
