………………………..We, my buyers and myself, felt the FALLING LEAVES NECKLACE & EARRING SET, J325475, was important enough to do in all of the metal colors….so SILVER was a definite. In the photos above you see the Silver necklace/s worn the same way as the Russian Gold, but this time in the photos to your right….I have the SILVER and GOLD worn together……..The old taboos of not being able to wear different color metals together is a thing of the past……It went the same way as “what will the skirt length be for the season?’ Remember that??…….Do your own thing…..wear YOUR things the way you want and what makes YOU happy!……………………………enjoy………………….much Love………………………….Louis
Reminds me of the Robert Lee Morris jewelry I wish I’d bought when silver was affordable.
I only have one (I think)statement necklaces. I’m petite and there’s not that much room for too much of a statement. But I’ve been collecting artisan crafted pieces all my life; I live in a college town and can walk down the street and buy pieces from all over the world.
Fashion jewelry used to be made in Rhode Island, where much fine jewelry was made. For years I went to a dentist at Tufts Dental School in Boston. Every Christmas, a secretary there would bring in both fashion and fine jewelry which she sold wholesale to staff. Her father owned a factory in Providence, R.I. I always scheduled a cleaning right before Christmas. Everybody, including the professors, bought their Christmas gifts. Until a new dean found out and stopped it.The previous dean had been one of her best customers! For a while we’d secretly meet her in the parking lot but she had to stop.
She only brought fine fashion jewelry. I have some nice pieces that are thirty years old.
The other reason I went at Christmas was because my dentist, a very Greek woman, brought in her home made baklava. To die for!
