Quicky DIY: Dalmation Jasper Sterling Silver Ring

I decided to do another ring "DIY" project this past weekend.

I bought these three items from Hobby Lobby in Millville, NJ on 04/18/12: Amazing E-6000 Clear Adhesive ($3.99) , Sterling Silver Adjustable Ring #227850 (was $11.99, on clearance for $7.19) and Traditions Gallery Dalmation Jasper Pendant ($3.99)

I glued the ring (it's Sterling.... it has the .925 stamped on the inside) to one side of the Dalmation Jasper pendant, just like what I did with the Unakite pendant. I let it cure overnight. Then, I cut off the bail (shown below).

Ta dah!!!!! All done. I made another sterling silver "statement ring" for a total of $15.17, and it's a one-of-a-kind. Saint Salvage strikes again!!!!

Playin' with Polish: Zoya Jem

I had the pleasure of doing a DIY manicure with a new color in my collection: "Jem" (ZP575) by Zoya. It's a dark berry with sparkle. Love it!!!! It's a great contrast to my super pale skin! It reminds of Chanel's "Vamp", but for a cost of $8, and is 3-free.

For more information about Zoya and this color, click below. It's rated 5 out of five by other customers. Zoya Jem Polish

Fun with nail polish: Zoya Jem

I tried a new polish today: Jem by Zoya. I love that dark purple, with a hint of sparkle. It looks really great on my pale, pudgy paws!

LOUIS VUITTON Poche Portfolio Document Case

I have a Louis Vuitton Monogrammed Portfolio (Document Case) that I purchased at the Rev. Eleanor V. Melton estate sale a couple of years ago. I get loads of compliments on it. As far as I know, it's authentic. I plan to look up the kind folks at The Purseblog Forum.

I am also interesting in adding my name to add to it. Anybody know how to do this?


It measures (LxHxD): 15.3" x 11" / 29cm x 28cm.
It has the Monogram canvas (one piece) that is upside down on one side, and right side up on the other. 

It has a loop handle, shiny golden brass pieces, and a zipper closure that runs along the top and one side.

It has a burgundy leather lining, with a pocket sewn on.

Quicky DIY: Converting Clip earrings to French Hook Earrings

Here's another "quicky" DIY that I did last weekend.

I bought opal clip on earrings from the Millville Goodwill store for $1.99. I bought a "Flower Ear Wire" French Hook ("The Jewelry Store; #124057L) at the Millville Hobby Lobby for .88 (Original price was $1.47)

Here they are, out of the package. The ear hooks came with those nice rubber stoppers.

I took the clips off with my pliers, and then opened the tiny jump ring, and attached the jump ring to the ear wires.

Ta dah!!!! The finished product! Saint Salvage strikes again for $2.87 (plus tax)!

DIY: Sterling Silver and Unakite Ring

I decided to do a couple of "DIY" projects this past weekend while recovering from an outpatient medical procedure.



I bought these three items from Hobby Lobby in Millville, NJ on 04/18/12: Amazing E-6000 Clear Adhesive ($3.99) , Sterling Silver Adjustable Ring #227850 (was $11.99, on clearance for $7.19) and Traditions Natural Gallery's Unakite Pendant ($3.99)

I glued the ring (see.... it's Sterling.... it has the .925 stamped on the inside) to one side of the Unakite pendant. I let it cure overnight. Then, I cut off the bail.

Ta dah!!!!! All done. I made a sterling silver "statement ring" for a total of $15.17, and it's a one-of-a-kind.
