JCK Convention

Just returned from the JCK convention in Las Vegas and all I can say is WOW! Gorgeous jewelry designs everywhere along with the ability to meet the artists. Held a two million dollar emerald cut diamond ring with more emerald cut diamonds all the way around the band on my finger just to see what it looked and felt like. I enjoy more of earthy type jewelry, but it was smashing. One of the most remarkable was the Enchanting Red Egg hosted at GIA's booth. This music box features enamel, precious gems and metals. When the ruby on top is pressed, the egg reveals a carousel of exotic animals that revolve and move up and down to music, using mechanisms adopted from mid-19th century Swiss musical snuff boxes.

  2. I'm with you about preferring more boho/earthy type stuff but that egg is pretty! The color of the red is pretty amazing!
