some of the season’s most com­pelling jew­els for sale will be in Boston next week at Skin­ner Inc. Sotheby’s and Christie’s New York will be host­ing their preview’s this com­ing Fri­day. There is noth­ing more fes­tively restora­tive than pour­ing over an auc­tion cat­a­log with a cup of some­thing warm and deli­cious. Star­bucks’ pep­per­mint hot choco­late is a deca­dent treat — when judi­ciously imbibed, it is an unde­ni­able high­light dur­ing the hol­i­day season.

A happy announce­ment: Please join me Thurs­day, Decem­ber 10^th at 7 am EST when I will be a guest on Martha Stew­art radio’s Morn­ing Liv­ing. I’ll have some great sto­ries about sen­ti­men­tal jew­elry and offer­ing tips for hol­i­day gift giving.

14K gold gem-set charm bracelet, 11 charms includ­ing one shaped like a bucket over­flow­ing with gems and engraved, “Last Year’s Jewels”
