The seahorse pendant in sterling silver here, TP 2454 looks quite good. I like to look at seahorses with their tails curled. And this one looks life like with good details.

That's my preference but I'm really looking for a gift for Wanda.

Wanda's brother keeps a sea water aquarium with corals and colorful fishes. Although the aquarium is not hers, I think she is almost as fond of those sea creatures as her brother is.

When I pay her a visit, she will lead me to their aquarium and tell me accidents about the inhabitants. My impression is that her favourite is the seahorses.

She will point to me where they are hiding and hand feed them.

Wanda's birthday is coming up so I'm thinking of getting her some sort of seahorse jewelry, preferably a seahorse pendant in sterling silver.

Well, this is interesting.

I had received a squarish charm with a cherry lacquered on and it looks a little like this.

The one on this web page is a pendant, of course which is why I am making a post out of it.

It provides an option to form a set jewelry with my charm. I have to develop a deep enough liking for my charm first and it's too soon to for that yet.

There are two cherries in the pendant and two dices as well. Otherwise, they are quite a perfect match.

This post is about one that got away. A good gift that is. At least, from my point of view.

Kim came back from a trip to India not long ago and she marveled at the rich culture of the country.

Kim bought back souvenirs of many varieties but she said she missed out on jewelry.

She did come across many nice ones that she would have liked to buy but the tour guide adviced that the prices at those spots are high and he will be bringing the tour group to another shopping area with great prices.

Alas, they ran out of time and did not make it there so Kim ended up without opportunities to buy jewelry.

I felt sorry for her and thought of getting her some sort of Indian jewelry to alleviate her feeling of loss.

This is one that I would have loved to get for Kim but it was out of stock. I did manage to get a pendant from a shop that looks Indian like.

So I'm making a post of this. I may get this in the future for somebody who appreciates Indian jewelry.

What is a successful Christmas shopping season?

The way I look at it. I will only know after the big day.

I will look closely at the reactions of the recepients of the gifts and whether they put the gifts to use.

It's not easy, of course. Everybody receives so many gifts so all those gifts have to compete for attention.

So you can say there will be winners and losers.

I just hope that more of mine will be winners. I put so much effort looking for them.

I think these kid jewellery rings in rose pink will be ideal for my niece, Jesse.

She's ten this year and what an angel.

Getting rings for fingers of a ten year old girl is always going to be a challenge. These pink kid jewellery rings should do it as they are free size and made for kids in mind.

The designs are sweet and simple, just right for little girls.

I like the fact they are handmade so it makes for a personal gift for someone I adore very much.

Being in pink and it is quite a sweet pink makes this almost a sure winner.

Jesse loves pink so she will be delighted to find among her Christmas presents one of these rose pink kid jewellery rings.
