Buzz-worthy bracelet

Posted on by

Buzz on over to Ann’s today for some charm shopping therapy!

 

Today our buzz-worthy jewelry is a rather spectacular bracelet made of jewels and sterling silver in charms that slide onto a triple strand of sterling silver.  (Did you see it featured in the Memorial section of today’s Houston Chronicle?)

Let’s take a closer look.

Slide charms have openings on the side where the triple strand sterling silver bracelet slips through.   The empty bracelet looks like this:

Triple strand, sterling silver bracelet, adjustable in size. Bracelet alone is $98.
Charms slide over the “bar” end of the bracelet in any order you wish.  Some of the charms from our bracelet today look like this:
 

Faceted Calypso quartz slide charm set in sterling silver, $88 Sparkly Blue Drusy quartz in sterling silver, $78 charm.

 
 

Blue Drusy quartz in sterling silver, $78 charm.

 
 
 

Blue howlite, blue sapphire drusy, blue spinel, and white quartz in sterling silver, $115

 
You’ll want a couple of sterling silver clips to keep your charms from slipping around your wrist when you wear the bracelet:
 
 

Sterling silver clips keep your charms from sliding. $68/pair

 
When you put all these together, you have a bracelet that dazzles! 
 
Choose your own charms or buy a bracelet like the one above, already created and ready to wear.

Try a new Trapp Candle

Posted on by

 

New Trapp flavor is White Lotus and Lychee. 7 oz candle is $24.95 at Ann's.

Trapp has a new fragrance:  White Lotus and Lychee.   It smells so good we thought you might want to know about the rather exotic elements in this fragrant candle.

Lychee is a fruit that grows in tropical or subtropical climes and is very, very fragrant, so that it’s usually eaten fresh, not canned.    It’s a type of berry:

Lychee fruit is indiginous to Southeast Asia.

 

Inside of the Lychee is white and very fragrant.

 White Lotus flower is especially fragrant.  The Ancient Egyptians extracted the fragrance to use in temple worship.    They cultivated it in ponds and marshes.
 

White Lotus Flower

 
Trapp brings the fragrance to American homes in candle form.  It’s No. 64.  All you have to do is light it to fill your home with these scents of the East.
