Bling

I have never been a big jewelry person though I do have a cork board of my newly acquired necklaces from my 30 by 30 list. My partner is even less of a jewelry person even though her aunt makes incredible fused glass necklaces. So, for us to venture up to the diamond district of NYC was truly extravagant!

We took a friday off and drove up to NJ and jumped on the train. We had a great quick lunch at a thai restaurant and then wondered 20ish blocks up to Times Square and the Diamond District.







We were overwhelmed by the sparkling rocks in all the windows and thus were grateful that our jeweler was on the 8th floor of an office building. After showing ID, observing a million security cameras, and two buzzer opperated doors we made it to Leigh Jay Nacht's studio (aka a studio apartment with three little desks and lots of jewelry parts everywhere!).

We pretty much knew what we were looking for because we had spent hours on his website but much to our suprise the more bling the more we liked it!




So here is our beauty. It is hard to see because jewelry is very difficult to capture but if you come visit after June 18th you can see it in person :)
