Sunday's Sterling Silver - Both New and Vintage

To me, there is nothing like the earthiness and patina that sterling silver acquires as it ages and is exposed to the elements.

Some like their sterling silver like new with a great shine, but I love the aged look more.

My stores have a great selection of all types of sterling silver jewelry, so whichever you prefer, there will be something for every one.  Here is a look at some of lovelies.  For more information, just click on any of the pictures to go to the store.

New Line of Millefiori Sterling Silver Jewelry in my Stores

I am delighted to announce that I have added a new like of genuine Murano Millefiori glass and sterling silver to my Jewelry Lane store at Ruby Plaza and my Vintage Jewelry Lane website store.

The cabochons in the new line of jewelry are made from genuine Murano millefiori glass made in the island of Murano. The designer is Alan K and the designs are all hand made. Many of the finishes on the jewelry are also rhodium plated which gives the pieces a lustrous appearance.

Millefiori is a type of Murano glass that has been incorporated with various layers of colors to create beautiful flower-like patterns. The word literally means "a thousand flowers." Millefiori is the name of the cylindrical, long glass rods which contain a specific pattern along its entire length, so that when cut into slices from one end, the particular pattern will be revealed. This style of glass has been around since the Middle Ages and more recently, have been produced for fine jewelry items.

Prices range from $27 to $165. Here are some examples of the pieces.
