Decorate Your Home With a Beautiful Swan Jewelry Box

The swan is an animal that signifies grace, elegance, and subtle dignity.  It coasts through the water with ease as its intricate shape and magnificent feathers provide an image of nature’s true beauty.  It is one of the most beautiful birds to ever grace the animal kingdom.

Combining the elegant swan with decadent gemstones makes for a fine piece of luxury decoration.  This sapphire and topaz are crafted onto the base frame of a swan sculpture, providing you with a beautiful sculpture that is sure to light up any room in your home.  The fact it doubles as a convenient jewelry box does nothing to detract from its artistic luster.

This jewelry box, along with a vast assortment of luxury jewelry, is only a mouse-click away from being yours.  Don’t hesitate to bid on this beautiful jewelry auction today.

Bidding Wars!

Bidding on products in our online jewelry auction is more fun than you might know! (Unless, of course, you’ve bid before—then I suppose you know the fun of it.) If you’d like to take a glimpse of just how exciting it might be, turn on your speakers and choose a product that has just a few minutes before the auction ends.

Each time someone bids on the product you’re looking at, you will hear a “ding.” Each ding raises the price of the auction $1. If someone bids on an auction during the last 10 seconds of the auction, the time jumps back up to 15 seconds. Technically this has the potential to carry on forever; it only ends when someone gives up or the auction surpasses the budget they had set for that piece. So be aware: you may find yourself caught up in a bid war!

Check our auctions daily and bid on pieces you love. Be ready to fight for your jewelry; let your hair down and have a blast!

History of Turquoise

When you hear the word “turquoise” most people first think of American Indians. At least most people in the United States. American Indians LOVE turquoise. They use it all their jewelry. I remember driving through Nevada with my family when I was about eight years old—we stopped by this little booth on the side of the road. These Indian women were selling jewelry they had made and my dad bought me a turquoise pendant necklace, which I still have today. So naturally I associate turquoise with American Indians.

Interestingly enough, the earliest known use of turquoise was in—drum roll—ancient Egypt. Not a big surprise there. Those Egyptians should have had a jewelry god! They never cease to amaze me with their jewelry abilities.

Turquoise then made its way around Europe before ever appearing in the Americas. Seeing as it has been such a large player in the jewelry market since 5500 B.C. you can know that it will continue to make a statement today and in the future. Check our online jewelry auction daily for gorgeous pieces.

Tennis Bracelets: A History

When I was a little girl I remember my mom asking for a tennis bracelet for Christmas. I was pretty confused by this, seeing as my mom never played tennis. And why would you need a special bracelet to play tennis anyway?

The tennis bracelet actually gained it’s namesake from an accident that occurred during the 1987 U.S. Open. Pro tennis champ Chris Evert was wearing a gorgeous diamond bracelet which accidentally broke during the game (imagine that). The match was interrupted to allow Evert to recover her tumbling diamonds. Thus it became known as the tennis bracelet!

Though it is still worn by tennis stars like Serena Williams during matches, the tennis bracelet is a favorite accessory by many a woman—athletic or otherwise. It’s simple enough to wear for almost any occasion with almost any outfit, but classy enough to solely accessorize a gown on the red carpet.

Check our online jewelry auction daily for great deals on top quality tennis bracelets. But do be careful if you wear them during athletic events!
