The most kickass necklaces I've seen in a while.

I finally discovered the magic that is Etsy Alchemy, the feature in which you dream up something your heart desires, you post it, and people bid to make it for you.  It sort of hearkens back to the old days of bespoke and custom couture (except--it's totally affordable).  I put out a request for someone to make the grape cluster necklace I missed in an eBay auction last week, and within a few hours I got like 9 bids for it.

One of the artists who offered to make me the necklace was Bejeweled Bespoke, and when I peeked at her shop I was blown away by some of these awesome, bold designs.  My two favorites were a) her feather chandelier necklace (feathers hanging from 12" chains!) and the b) necklace of a million falling leaves.  I also love her "piece de resistance" chandelier earrings, even though chandeliers are so 2004 and I don't have my ears pierced.  It's all so poetic, and so dramatic, I can hardly stand it!

Dilemmas: Too many items from sarah19r I want to bid on...

...I could never decide on just one!  I may very well clean out a third of her online store.

Shopping on eBay is not a very sexy thing to do -- it's tedious (you have to sift through a ton of junk, sort of the online equivalent of a rummage sale), it's stressful, and the UI is super frumpy.  

But every once in a while, you come across a seller that is pure gold and it sparks your interest all over again.  I was still searching for owl pendants when I came across sarah19r, vintage jewelry seller from the UK .  Who knows who Sarah is?  I just know I had to catch the drool from my mouth as I added about 20 precious trinkets to my Watch List.  In fact, you must realize how much I love you all because I'm sharing the link and opening myself up to potential bidding competition, HAH!

May the best individual win.
