The Cat Collar: Improved

Filed in archive Necklaces on January 24, 2010

I love these charms. I know, I know, this is the second time in a month that I've blogged about charms, and I'm really not a charm person. But there's something about these… They're very tasteful, classic… A lot like my cat's collar tag, actually. But nicer.

They are, without a doubt, overpriced. It's the charm with the tiny gold heart that brings me back to the site again and again. It reminds me of the kind of thing we'd make in high school when we made jewelry in our shop class. If you missed out on this experience, you probably wonder why jewelry is so terrifically expensive. If, like me, you tried to recreate the neighbor's wedding ring, you would know how desperately hard it is to get metal to do what you want it to.

So kudos to Heather Moore for landing her collection at Neiman Marcus. And for patiently printing our names in courier font around a tiny gold heart. That sort of thing takes patience. The sort of patience that can only be bought for $700.
