Paging all Carolyn Pollack and American West fans!

The plain silver filigre cross pendant enhancer is on sale on Carolyn's website. I have always admired it, however the steep price kept me away. If you own it, how do you like it? Thank you in advance for your response. Haca

Hi Haca - Funny - I was just going to put out a post on that cross - It is the Star of the Week - which for people who don't follow her website - is posted every Tues.nite or Wed. (depending on where you live) --there are 2 pieces out there right now which every collector should own - they are both spectacular - one is that Filagree cross - it is gorgeous and LARGE - thatuis a terrific price --the other is the Evening Star Chrysoprase Enhancer for $84.99 - first of all Chrysoprase is expensive and hard to come by - especially that piece - I chased it for a long time before finally buying it on Ebay - and only because the person selling it didn't know what it was!! It's gorgeous - you don't see it even on her website very often -- anyhow - as a long time collector of her jewelry I highly recommend both those pieces!!

Thank you, CL. Knew I could count on you. Yes, I LOVE the chrysoprase as well - it's such a gorgeous green. Jay King had some for sale yesterday, I heard. I wasn't able to watch the entire show. While I like his gems, his designs are only so-so most of the time - not like CP. You can count on hers being exceptional. If it is an older piece, then the silver is probably heavy as well.

I have a few hours to think about this - lol.

Correction - The Chrysoprase piece is not an enhancer - doesn't matter to me but know it does to some people

Hi C Lady!

I missed out last year on the Chrysoprase pendant when it was less then $40 during those flower sales, remember when everything was selling out in minutes! I own the ring that matches the pendant, someday I'll snag the pendant too, but not a week after an AWJ show! lol

Hi ladies! Haca -- I also have that huge cross, and it is beautiful! Very heavy with silver - I think it's around 50 grams, but it sits nicely on beads and looks fabulous with native pearls . . pretty much anything lol. I was lucky to get it for a ridiculous price a while back, but the price it is now is excellent . . let us know what you decide!

Hi Sistas! I had a long conversation with myself during the last couple of hours. It was a debate between Spanish filigree or MOP AW cross. Both of them have been on my list for some time. Well the filigree won. I hope it won't be too big. Even though the discount code did not apply - a few cents away from the $100 mark - it is still a great price. Thank you enablers. I won't be home on Carolyn's next visit, so that is how I justify this expense.

It was a great day for gardening! Hugs to all!
