Have you ever had the misfortune to loose a peice of jewellery?  I have!  I lost a 14K yellow gold ring and then discovered where it was. Down the drain pipe!! Trying explaining that one! 

It was a gift, the most beautiful marquise diamond ring. My husband gave it to me and now I had to explain where it was and how it got there.! “Well, He loves me so maybe he won’t be that mad, he’ll just get it out” I thought.

When he found out what had happened he just looked at me and proceeded to retrieve the ring. I guess that’s where he got the idea that jewelry boxes were both decorative and functional.

Rock Stars and Ball Players Jewelry

I hear the Beatles liked to wear 14K yellow gold rings. I guess it must have been in vogue then.  As the years have gone by it seems all the Rock Stars seem to wear gold rings. Is this class or are they setting a standard for all other Rock Stars!!!

 14K yellow gold necklaces and chains seem to be worn by all Basket Ball Stars and Baseball Players as a sign of wealth.  Is this a carry over from ancient days!!!
