Next to my wedding band, this is antique ivory bracelet is my favorite piece of jewelry. The ivory jeweler assured me that it was at least 150 years old & said that the cracks helps reveal the age.
When I got it, I was really nervous about it, hoping my friends or others would not dog me out once they found out it was ivory. To this day, no one has dogged me out & in fact, I have had 2 offers to buy it & numerous complements.
The bracelet weighs a little more than ½ pound & the chain is made of brass & silver
For months Suite Suzy asked me how much I paid for it & for moths I could not give her a straight answer out of fear. Now 3 years later, I cannot remember how much I paid it. I guess since I forgot, it will be my secret forever.
Do you have to hide purchases from your boo? I know I cannot be the only one out there that does this!!!

That is indeed a lovely piece. I think I would give you grief for wearing ivory, but it being antique seems to make a difference. At least that’s what I tell myself about my almost-antique-but-can-not-be-blood diamond ring.
You’re always blogging about getting in trouble with SS for your purchases. 😉 I have the opposite problem – Breadfruit is fine with what I spend on myself, but he doesn’t like expensive stuff for himself. So, I must fib now and then. It’s possible that the shoes I bought him for his job interview because his were on sale for 70% off, right?

You are going to make SS hurt you yet!! LOL But yeah, I do it too. My husband would crucify me if he knew the price of the things I’ve bought! shhhhhhhhhhh!!

Ohhhhh, you can walk around with some ivory on your wrist, but you want to boycott “American Gangster”!!! LMAO I think this post makes your “AG” gripe null and void. Enjoy the film tonight! lol I’ll be expecting one of your reviews by Sunday. And, Erica C. is right, Suite Suzy is going to punish you before it’s all said and done. The bracelet is gorgeous though.

Mmmmhmmm, a nice extended review and lots of witty lines and such. LOL I pre-ordered my ticket with my single self for the 10:30pm show tonight. I gotta hit the gym after work, go home and get myself together and there wasn’t a way in hell I’d be able to make the 9pm.
