NATIVE AMERICAN CHARMS

cooking lady — Sat, 09 Aug 2014 19:42:49 GMT

I just ordered 2 Native American Charms from Amazon - they are Relios Charms that were offered awhile back - I originally own (like Kath) the one from Fritz Casuse - and these 2 are from Myron Panteah and I think Veronica Poblano - anyhow - they are the same ones being offered now on Q (in slightly different variations) for $49.99 plus S/H and Tax - these are only $39.99 plus a 10% discount,. Really nice little savings if you area charm lover!

Thank you, CL for the heads-up. I don't own any charms yet, but I was intriqued by the Myron Panteah piece and ordered that one. I like Fritz's very much, too but .... lol... have to stop.

Hi C lady!

The newest AW charms have a new round snap bail, I'm not certain what that's all about since QVC didn't fully describe the new style bail or show a decent image photo in the item description.

Kathy, I wish you'd take a photo of your charm bracelet(s) so some of us can see what we're missing. CL, I checked Amazon yesterday and they just had a couple of the old original charms listed. Maybe I didn't use the right search terms? Does anyone else wish Carolyn had done a catalog of all her jewelry offerings since Day One?

Actually Kachina, I rarely wear my CP charms on a bracelet since I discovered wearing them clipped over the spacer beads on the several varieties of native pearl necklaces CP has offered over the years. I never did purchase the necklace intended for the charms because of this.
It makes for an unusual statement necklace all my own that I can change out the charms at whim.

When searching Amazon, use relios as the first keyword followed by the item you're searching for.
Example: relios charm

Everything in CP's Amazon inventory pertaining to the second keyword used will pop up.

Thanks Kahy, I did get more using "Relios" than I did using "Carolyn Pollack", but there was nothing I needed.

If you've been reading these boards or Facebook - you would know how many times I have brought up the subject of a catalogue/Book (like Ripka did for her fans) showing all the Collections . etc - Don't know why she doesn't do it - considering how much money I have spent collecting her jewlery over 20 years - (and I am not alone in that) don't think it would be that hard to assign somebody in her Company to do it -- it is really frustrating when you don't know what piece goes with what half the time -- plus it would really be something for us to enjoy having and reading - it could feature all the symbols, etc., - they used to at least send out the Romance Cards depicting the stones, etc. now we just get a "generic" one - I really think if you are listening and I know Alex reads these boards - they should bring it up and address it at their meetings - Alex are you listening?????

if you want to access the charms I purchased on Amazon just put in Native American charms - I don't care if the new ones have a different bail or what - personally I love the snap on ones and since I have about 32 others with that same snap on - I am glad - plus I'm sure since they were older they are better made charms -- just saying!!!

Kath - I don't wear mine on bracelets either - just clipped on various necklaces - or my charm holder - never been a big fan of charm bracelets actually - but I do love the charms!They are the perfect little thing when you want just a little ""something"" - I stopped buying them awhile back because they started to get so expensive - you could almost get an enhancer for the same price!! I love the idea of some Native American ones though - so now I will have 3 - purchased at an affordable price IMHO!!

Have you ever checked the prices on Michael Valatutti's charms? They sometimes run well over $100. I have a few of his less expensive ones and they're exquisite but I'm maxed out on them now. I mix them with CP's charms and even have a couple of Ripka on that bracelet. CP's snap on charms seem very sturdy. I've been wearing the Canyon Road charm on my bangle bracelet for several months 24/7 and it's still going strong.

Kachina - I continue to be amazed at how alike we are in our jewelry tastes - yes I have some of MV's charms - when they first came out - and like you - I got tired of paying the high dollar amount - and though beautiful - didn't suit my lifestyle as well as CP's charms do - hers are so lmuch easier to just ""clip and go"" - no muss no fuss !! LOL

Did you all see the prices on the stuff Nancy is selling this afternoon? That SB is starting to rival diamonds in price. The SB story ought to be taught in college economics courses as an example of supply vs demand plus what a whole bunch publicity will do.

Thank you, CL…. I think! LOL. I'm eyeing the Casuse Hummingbird pendant. Too many other things I have to spend money on now, though. But…….
