So I haven't participated in show and tell for a long time. I haven't felt like I've had much to share. Plus I keep forgetting it being on Wednesday. However this week I have something. Last year one of my show and tell posts was this pendant I had found and fell in love with. I wasn't sure how I was going to wear it as I don't usually wear necklaces but it was one of those had to have things. It's a ruby that's not all polished up and cut like you would usually see. I've tried it with cloth ribbon sort of things. Many said it would make a great choker but I can't do chokers. I hate having stuff like that around my neck. So when I was in Monterey this last weekend I saw a silver store and started looking for a chain to go with it. I found one I liked but it was like a hundred dollars on sale which was way more than I wanted to pay. Later I was walking on the pier and saw another silver shop and went in to see what they had. One of the first things I saw there was this:
This is a bracelet to go with my necklace. I think it's rubies also although they are a little lighter and I forgot to ask. They do however pretty much look the same. I did also get a chain for the pendant. It wasn't quite the one I wanted but it was much cheaper and I figure I can always get the more expensive one later if I still want it. The owner of the shop though gave me a fantastic deal on the bracelet and the necklace so I was so excited.

Beautiful!!! What a set! *reminder to self: get jewelry out and wear it more often!*
That is such a lovely set! I love that you hunted around for it ... I love rubies.
They really look perfect together!
very very pretty
That is pretty!
Very beautiful!
And around my neck.. only loose things. No chokers (jusy choking on the thought of that!) no polo necks, usually no scarves etc.
Very pretty! And I agree about the choker thing. I would rather not wear any jewelry than something close on my neck.
I'm with you, I don't like things around my neck. I love the bracelet and the pendant. They are both beautiful!
very nice!
oh what a beautiful set! I can't do chokers either. I love that bracelet
