Creede Rocks the Bracelets!

It's Creede Silver Strike Day on the Q!!! I love jewelry and I love silver, so I certainly have no problem with an entire day dedicated to silver jewelry!

After looking through all the Creede pieces, I was most struck with the bracelets (and I'm not just talking about the TSV either). Normally I'm much more of a ring and earring kind of a girl, but the bracelets were clearly the stars of the day.

The TSV is an Arte d'Argento Sterling Multi-gemstone Charm Bracelet. I love just about anything Arte d'Argento, but I'm sure we'll soon be hearing stories of beads falling off the bracelet (or arriving already broken). I always worry when a manufacturer has to make enough of something for it to be a TSV. If you have to make 10-20,000 bracelets (I have no idea how many they have), I'm guessing that the quality is naturally going to slip a little. Although I have to admit, it does look like it would be fun to wear and jingle.

There's also some great Artisan Crafted items, like this Sterling & Brass Bead Scroll Design Cuff:

And this Artisan Crafted Sterling Bold Woven Bracelet:

There's even some designer jewelry like this RLM Studio Sterling "Molten Wrist" Couture Cuff (be still my beating heart ...)

And some designer knock-off stuff like this Sterling Twisted Cuff Bracelet w/Decorative End Caps:

JTV Clearance on Wonder Woman Cuff!

Wide Textured Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet
(Item: MCH057B)

This cuff is a rockin' deal, chickadees. If you like big, chunky silver items, you have got to take a look at this. It's 49.4 grams of silver for only $55.99 ... that's a little over a dollar a gram ... that's practically free! OMG, I'm morphing into Lisa R. as I type.

Anyway, I love big, bold cuffs--mainly because I like to think that I'm Wonder Woman. If I only had the Lasso of Truth ... *sigh*

Not only is a really good deal in and of itself, but there are also all sorts of 10% off, 20% off, and free shipping coupon codes that you could use with this.

I think I'm feeling faint.

Just click the Coupon link on the right side of the blog and scroll to the end of the comments for the latest JTV coupon codes. (Thank you MK!!!)

Today's Blue Plate Specials ... Diamonds and Rubies and Emeralds, Oh My!

It's Gem Day at the Q! You know, if they combined Gem Day with EZ Pay Day, there would be some sort of home shopping cosmic implosion. Anyway, the TSV is a big honkin' Sterling 23.00 ct tw Multi-gemstone Hinged Cuff.

And you know what? It's not half bad ... not Queen Bea's style (I'm not one for the multi-gem rainbow look), but it looks like it's well-made and the stones seem to be decent quality. I'm sooooooo glad that they didn't try to put "diamond accents" in the silver bead work because that would have really cheapened the whole thing.

It's going quick though--the small is already on wait list. Lisa "Madison Avenue" Robinson kicked it off last night and just blew it out of the water (Didn't she look devine in that blue dress? She just doesn't need to lose any more weight ... no sprinkles for Lisa!)

HSN has some Debbie Meyer GreenBoxes as their TS. I need something like this to keep my salad from rotting in one day (especially considering how much those little bags of pre-washed salad costs!), but it's not Lock & Lock! Queen Bea *hearts* Lock & Lock. If GreenBoxes and Lock & Lock had a baby, I'd be all over that.




ShopNBC has another ceramic watch as their OTV. They just did one not long ago--I wrote about it here. I guess the difference if that this one is Invicta and the last one was Croton? I don't know, seems a tad redundant to me.



And don't forget to pick up a pair of these totally awesome Invicta flip flops! WTH???
