Colours of Rome, Italy!
October 5, 2009 | Filed under: Uncategorized
Rome is a fashion hotbed! Men and Women are well dressed and have lots to choose from as boutiques abound. I did not see large, all inclusive department stores, but perhaps they are there.
Small shops with personal service, but touching is not encouraged. Show the salesperson what you would like to see in your size and out it will come. And the colours!!! Purple and Grey in every window! In many shades. At the end of our trip we had one more day in Rome and the windows were changing to fall colours–Dark Purple and Dark Grey!!.
Now the jewellery was eclectic except for the abundance of coral and turquoise as mentioned in my previous post. Long chains, short chains, in a variety of stones or just metal or silver or gold-many necklace styles.
Pearls in various sizes were definitely an “in” item.
For the BEYOND the VALLEY STUDIO TOUR on Oct. 17 and 18 (the week end after Thanksgiving), I will have baroque pearls in 14 mm. sizes on chains, bracelets and also earrings. There will also be flat and pear shaped baroque pearls. Some very interesting looks.
“What is new?”, you ask. Well lots of new stones such as striped onyx,
black rutilated quartz, moonstone in various shades, hypersthene, tri-colour agate (green,orangy brown, pale neutral) and also many new shapes in amethyst, chalcedony, lapis lazuli, black onyx, fluorite and blue iolite and the list could go on and on.
Our brochures have gone out and no doubt you have yours in hand by now. If you need any more, send an email to me and I will mail out some brochures or deliver if you are local.
And now back to work.
