Jewelry Faire and why you should go

Jewelry Faire: It's not just for the ladies. Even among the gifts and freebies, guys are pretty well represented which is actually very cool.

And not just by the platinum and bling of the punk, gangster, pimp, and rapper wear, either. (not that there's anything wrong with that look... but come on, guys, push the envelope a little. ~grins~).

If you didn't know, Jewelry Faire is like most faires that showcase designers and has a charity aspect to it too.

This year's beneficiary is OxFam, with 50% of the purchase price of selected designs going to the charity. I'll get to my choice at the end of this (which I've hinted at in a prior post.)



But for now, know that the faire is spread over two sims, and each sim is broken into Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter.

I tell you this because the TP points are set to landing points, so you kind of need to know the general area to find what I'm going to show you -- then again, it's two sims, broken into seasonal themed hedges that guide the path.

It doesn't actually take a long time to explore the entire faire. (I suggest getting to the top of the hedges and walk along that. )

A good many designers were offering men's jewelry, but I'm only tackling those that had gifts out that worked for men. The list of urls follows, but again, that's more of a guide than an easy TP. Sorry.

And I'm sure there was stuff I missed. I went early but like most faires, the lag can get pretty bad once people start showing up in large numbers. So, in order of the pictures, left to right:

If I'm gonna spend money at Jewelry Faire (and I am) one of my choice is the Coexist set from Sable Rose. The set comes with the three pieces you see here, plus two plain wraps. There's a women's version as well. the Set is $400L -- with 50% of it going to Oxfam through the 27th, or roughly $80L per piece and while that's not free, that's not a bad deal.

Rosie Barthelmess is a friend, no denying, but for me this jewelry set (as most of the offerings for the faire do -- the designers put a lot of thought into what they put up for charity) does everything a good wear should: It looks good, it's a reasonable price, it benefits someone else, and it says something about who I am.
