I didn’t get my act together to post about A.V. Max’s recent sample sale in advance — but here’s what I got!

Everything above was between $5-$15. Insane.

How have you been?

I keep this long necklace on my dresser, not because I wear it often, but because I love to look at it.

I busted it out last weekend to put a little pep in my step.

Yes, it is like walking into a nightclub. A very well-lit nightclub.

Yes, you will be the only person in there over the age of 25.

But who cares about that when you find an exact replica of this bracelet from your grandmother’s costume jewelry collection? The one she let you wear as a kid?

Suck it up, get on the escalator, and keep your eyes on the prize.

Recent Purchase: Harry Neufeld Bangle

Went back to Macy’s to find the name. (Saw it on my last trip.) Ended up taking it home.

Bright, chunky, plasticky, delicious. Looks like it was carved out of soap.

A.V. Max: What I Bought

I almost exclusively wear jewelry with gold settings. For that reason, I usually grab gold stuff at A.V. Max’s sample sales. This time I bought a couple pieces in silver.

I’m pretty anti-bracelet (for purely practical concerns, namely, how to type at the computer all day without going nutso due to clanging), but I like cuffs. They stick to ya.

I have a few other A.V. Max rings in this style I’ll show you sometime soon, too.
