My art festival find.. Lil swiss blue topaz

[stryeyes102]

Our city is having its annual art and wine festival this weekend, so i went and browsed a bit. There were soooo many jewelry booths this year! Unfortunately, most were still really expensive. I did end up finding one little booth that fit me; gemstone rings of every color! (A little retired ''hobby'' type of shop)


So here is my little swiss blue topaz in a hand made sterling setting. *its a tinsy bit windowed* But as soon as i saw it, it spoke to me

. So in the end, I love it to pieces and that is all that matters!

I think it looks awesome! The blue is so vibrant that it almost looks photoshopped. Very cool!

Very nice find! Very pretty!

I know, I always go to the art festivals and the jewelry stands are so expensive!

Love the second hand shot!

Oh so pretty! I love browsing art festival jewelry but you''re right, their prices get out of hand right away. Looks like you found a little beauty though!

So true. Some of my favorite pieces are moonstones set in silver. I love wearing them, looking at them (I think my mutt moonstones are much more interesting then the more expensive ones) , and best of all, if they chip, I''m not out much $$$.

So buy it, wear it, and enjoy it!!!

Thank you again!

I have to whole heartily agree with you!As many of you known i have never met a gem or metal I dont like... but there has always been something about my old silver jewelry that I makes me feel good when I wear it...I love finding an old broken in and previously enjoyed silver piece at junk shops,antiqiue stores or rummage sale that are not alot of money....I enjoy wearing my gold and diamond jewelry,but i can wear my old silver without worrying about scuffs or scratches because most of my pieces already had them when i found them....I recently rescued a great 2 inch wide old Hopi sterling cuff bracelet circa 1972 for an unbelievable $21.00.at a pawn shop(the piece appraised out at $400.00!)and have really enjoyed wearing it!

Hey, if you love it, that is all that matters. However, I think the color of your topaz is very nice!
