Carol Brodie rocks my socks off!

I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.

For some reason those emails which inform one of comments to blog posts has ceased to work for me. It's very annoying. Having nothing much to do today I was perusing my blog posts to see if I had missed any comments. A few were found including this absolute gem from Carol Brodie herself,

My Dear Countess ChiChi,You were always my BFF... I am so glad that you love Rarities... at the end of the day, I created this collection for women who love jewelry. I try and have gorgeous pieces in all styles and price ranges... I want every woman who covets a Rarity to be able to own one... or two, or three, or ten or twenty. The September collection is DIVINE! I am so excited to share it with everyone. Thank you for tuning in, sharing your enthusiasm (most of the time) and for taking such a great interest in Rarities Fine Jewelry and me. With warm regards,Carol Brodie

Oh my I am having an attack of the vapours and feel very faint. I just found out that my younger sister has had a photo of herself published in OK magazine with Tom Cruise and Katy Holmes, big whoop, I am very much more fortunate to have received some attention from the lovely Ms Brodie. What a happy camper I am.

I cannot express enough how gorgeous and desireable her collection is. It looks luscious on TV and in pictures, but to see it at home, the pieces are truly out of this world. In fact, I have become a Rarities internet stalker, checking the Hsn.com page everyday looking for a new addition. To wait for the September show is excruciating. I did find this lovely ring added new to the site and I want it, now! Talk about HOT.

Blue chalcedony, what a lovely colour, what a darling ring. If that is an appetiser, imagine what the main course will be when the collection airs in September? That ring would look best on my finger, perhaps one on each hand. :)

My Carol Brodie wish list

Sadly, the turquiose Sun Goddess earrings are long gone and there is no picture, I missed out on those beauties and sincerely regret it.

And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore."
