Well, I have to say, these jewelry Extravaganzas for Mama Tess’ expenses have been phenomenal!
So far, you guys have purchased over $4000 of my personal jewelry to help MT! Wow!
Therefore, I’m sure it will be a bit of a shock to know that I still have a ways to go with all of MT’s veterinary expenses – mostly because the Founder Warrior (she is wonderful but I do have to pay her…) and Team Maggot ($272 per battle) are still in full force as well as the ongoing meds and supplies.
So alas, I’m bringing out the big guns. These are the pieces that I actually wore regularly – or coveted the most…
Without Further Ado, HERE WE GO!

I bought this lovely piece in Malibu for lots of money. People stop me on the street to ask about it… The sun really makes it glint. Clearly and artist went blind wrapping and gluing to make this. ;) The cross is 2″ and the necklace is 16″

9) SEED PEARL, SILVER FLOWER, CRYSTAL ANTIQUE CHAIN 16″ NECKLACE: SOLD! THANK YOU, MELBA!

12) BRONZY CRYSTAL ANTIQUE CHAIN REPURPOSED CRYSTAL NECKLACE 18″ – CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE: $65
I remember distinctly that the salesperson had to convince me to purchase this because I don’t usually wear this color and it was expensive – and I’m glad she did. I love it! Great with just about anything. I always receive compliments when I wear it.

13) STERLING BALL AND LEATHER 42″ LEATHER LAYERING NECKLACE – SOLD! THANK YOU, GAIL!
I bought this in Solano Beach in Southern California for $175. I remember distinctly because I didn’t have the money and put it on a credit card (sin). I’ve worn this often and it layers or loops really wonderfully. You can even tie it in a knot. The photo doesn’t do it justice. 42″
42″ of leather and sterling! Great layering piece or stand alone.
14) FACETED CRYSTAL CIRCLES WITH HANDMADE ANTIQUE CHAIN 40″ – SOLD! THANK YOU, MELBA!

Sterling, peach pearl, white and peridot crystal, bronze bead – my fav. 2″
17) BEAUTIFUL STERLING AND SPIRAL GREEN/WHITE OPAL EARRINGS 1.5″ – SOLD! THANK YOU, ALVI!
These were so difficult to photograph… Trust me, if you like green and white opal, you will love these! They are way more green (not blue) than you can see here. Too bad. I put an arrow at the true color. Take a risk, they are fab – I will take them back if you don’t like them! (I paid $175)
The arrow shows the more green color – these were difficult to photograph. I will take them back if you don’t like them.
18) AYALA BAR FANCY FUN AND WILD Sterling EARRINGS!! CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE: $90

SYDNEY LYNCH EARRINGS, 18K, 24K, STERLING AND JADE. MAKE AN OFFER.
If you are interested in this, let’s chat (email me or comment). I paid over $900 for this crystal. It needs to be cleaned and I cannot lift it… but it is in excellent condition. If you would like it, and take it ‘as is’, I will sell it for $399 plus $75 special packing and shipping. If you live around me, I will drive it to you and use the $75 for gas and my time.
I will not deposit your money until it arrives to you safely.
* I have other, smaller but geologically compelling crystals, if anyone is interested. I was a rock hound in my youth… I still have just about every rock ever discovered. ;)
This is a large Arkansas crystal. 30″ long, 16″ across and 7″ high. It weighs about 50lbs. This is how it looked when I brought it here. It needs to be cleaned so I am selling it ‘as is’ for less than half of what I paid for it, plus shipping. It is awesome!
This is the far side of the crystal. I wanted you to see that it has this barren space.
Another view… but this is at eye level and it really looks more like photo #1. Here the points appear larger then they really are.
Again, this is at eye level. Although this is the same crystal, it looks more like image #1
Again, the crystal from the good side, the far side has the barren area. None of the points are higher than 7″. Most are an average of 2-3″
