Once in a Blue Moon ... is a common way of saying not very often, once in a long time and when we say that we usually refer to something nice, special and extraordinary.
Beautiful big dangling hoops in sterling silver and blue resin, feature two blue moons, the sterling silver has been hammered to make it of a shimmering effect and the moons are in blue translucent resin.

Silver Silver Silver....

Silver, having defied the low expectations of many investors, has now seen a monster rally of 392% from $8.88 in October 2008 to the recent market price of $43.67. The pace of the advance has gone almost vertical with silver gaining 60% from the lows of late January.

Some thoughts about LOST from EW.com

2010-05-27T21:21:00.000-07:00

Lost has been my favorite show for the last 6 years and it is really hard to say goodbye, after so long. Characters were part or my life, the story was amazing, the acting was superb. The all package was so incredible. I will miss this amazing show, I will re-watch it very often, but the idea that it ended makes me feel very sad.

From EW.com

And in the end, they all died and went to heaven. The series finale of Lost brought us both back to the beginning and to the threshold of eternity. In one world, Armageddon was averted. In another world, we got the Rapture. The closing moments aspired to a twist ending: Sidewaysabad, a flawed matrix of good-enough contentment, wasn't an alternate reality at all but a psycho-spiritual virtual reality, a vast active living intelligence system (to borrow a phrase from Philip K. Dick's VALIS) created by the collective yearning of the castaways, an ethereal transfer station located at an unspecified junction between life and afterlife. All along, the Sideways characters have been shells, waiting for someone to ignite their soul's pilot light. And on the Pentecost Sunday, it was total ''FLAME ON!'' I thought ''The End'' was a fantastic though not flawless fantasy that stirred more of my emotions than my mind, and I was satisfied with that. The Jin-Sun awakening. The Sawyer-Juliet reunion. The John Locke resurrection. The preservation of The Island and the promise that it lives in our imaginations under the stewardship of big-hearted Hurley and his humble Number 2, Benjamin Linus. Under their regime, a new era of the soul awaits mankind, which I think was one of the big points of it all: Let us rediscover and reinvent spirituality for a new generation that finds it's both too easy to fall for dubious ideas and too hard to believe in anything. I loved the opening montage, the crosscutting between the Island and Sideways characters as they awaited destiny. And I thought the final 10 minutes — which toggled between Island Jack's last moments of life with Sideways Jack's launch into the afterlife aboard The Ark of the Castaway Covenant — were pretty close to perfect. The final episode was a very personal work of its writers, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. I am grateful for the story they chose to give us.

Garnet for January!

2010-01-02T23:33:00.000-08:00

The garnet is a deep, rich red or purple-red stone, not only was the garnet regarded as the gem of faith, constancy, and truth, but it was believed also to possess many curative powers. The warm, bright garnet stands in contrast to this cold month and brings to those born in January (myself included) friendship, loyalty and sincerity, and the stone is said to have the power to ensure good health and protect its owner during travel.
For January, I have this beautiful and unique necklace, with garnet featuring a stunning mosaic pendant in the color of pearl white and dark red. Each glass piece measures approximately 2 mm.
The necklace is made of 3 strands of 14 kt gold fill chain, faceted garnet beads and 10 mm pearls, completed by a filigree clasp.

Total length is a little over 36 inches.
Pendant measures: H 1 3/4" W 1"

Rain in San Diego

2009-12-07T18:11:00.001-08:00

Finally it's raining here in San Diego, it has been a while! I love it, I would sit here for hours and just listen to the rain falling on the roof of my house and the wind blowing; it is so pleasantly noisy. Strange and almost unrealistic here, when it rains like that, pools of water accumulates on streets, and road flooded signs are posted right away in numerous areas. My plumeria was drowning today, I tried to drain some of the water accumulated in its pot, for sure it doesn't need that much.
I keep hearing Police sirens here and there, in fact when it rains here in Southern California, lots of car accidents happens. We are not used to drive with rain anymore or maybe our pavements are not good for this kind of weather since it never rains!
This is such an event though, I am enjoying it all because maybe the next storm might occur 6-7 months from now!

Lapis Lazuli Ring

Lapis Lazuli Ring

I just finished this beautiful ring for a friend of mine. The blue of the lapis lazuli is so intense, I just love it. I wanted to keep the earthy looking being the lapis lazuli, in this case, a raw stone.
In the end I really prefer this natural look than the polish and smooth one.

Beautiful Copper

2009-04-28T14:02:00.001-07:00

How beautiful copper is! Recently I started to work a little more with copper and I love it, especially when I add sterling silver to it. The contrast between the two metals is unique.

I started to make some more pieces of jewelry with this warm orangy-brown metal for a couple of reasons, beside the fact that I like it a lot. In a moment of downturn economy, it could be a great substitute; you could still have something really nice and spend quite less. It has the versatility to be shiny or oxidized. Copper, in fact, oxidizes fast but if you like it shiny, like I do, you can keep it that way with just the power of lemon juice, very natural and simple. When it's polished it's beautiful like rose gold: such a warm and lovely tone. Instead, oxidized together with sterling silver, it makes it so earthy, so natural, so organic.
In addition to its beauty , copper seems to have some great beneficial properties: Egyptian paintings, for instance, depict their citizens wearing copper bracelets in the upper arm and ankle too, more than one at the same time; maybe they used to wear them for medical purpose since Egyptian medical texts revealed that copper was useful in treating joints issues, inflammations of the joints and arthritis. Even now some people use it to target specific areas, for example, by wearing a bracelet to alleviate arthritis pain in the wrist and hand.
Copper is used for decorative purpose too and being such a beautiful metal deserves some fashion attention too purely for its beautiful characteristic.

Lipstick Jungle canceled!

2008-12-22T13:19:00.000-08:00

Aren't we all disappointed about what NBC is doing?If you are one of us numerous LJ fans you know what I am talking about and you sure are!
I am so hooked on this show, looking forward to it every week, never missed an episode, my DVR's always ready, just in case my very active 4 year old daughter is still up and running in the house.
What's going on, why did they cancel it? One of the few good shows on TV? Where do you find another one like this, that talks about women, strong, powerful and independent women, with great jobs and business, mothers and wives. Fashion is gorgeous here and a show that combines so many other great topics like friendship, parenting and love, such a fabulous show that makes you feel alive and gives you so much inspiration deserves to keep going and be promoted! We need it.
NBC Folks wake up! Lots of people are watching it and lot more would watch it if it aired at a better day and if it was promoted a little more. You are crazy for killing it!

Come and sign the petition let's try to save this amazing show...
