Silpada Coin Bracelet

Prices ranged from around $20 for a pair of earrings to $269 for a multistrand coin bracelet. Nice as Silpada jewelry is, I really couldn't find anything on Sunday that I loved so much I had to have it. And I'm not buying jewelry these days as presents, having gone to that well too often. But on Sunday I accepted an invitation to go to a Silpada jewelry party. So, if worst came to worst, I thought, I could just eat and socialize with my in-laws and my son could hang out with his cousins. I had never heard of Silpada. I liked the high quality of the jewelry, which is all hefty sterling silver with real stones (plus some CZs). But as I told my sister-in-law: I always like to look. Some of the designs reminded me of Chico's jewelry -- "statement" pieces with a bohemian flavor. The jewelry must be fairly hot. In my opinion, socializing and shopping are two separate activities, each of which -- for me, anyway -- requires concentration.
