The Starfish

I'm sure that I've mentioned, more than once, my fondness for sterling silver and cz jewelry. I love the "rich" vibrant look, that bears a remarkable resemblance to "the real thing." Although the picture doesn't really do it justice, I found this pendant at T.J. Maxx marked down to $15. The cz stones take on the appearance of flawless diamonds, topped with brilliant, real garnet stones.

As I rounded the jewelry counter, it was tucked among other necklaces, and immediately caught my eye. I'll wear it year 'round, especially on those cold, drab days of winter as a reminder of summer by the beach.
