It is indeed shocking to say the least. My convertible charm bracelet that I bought last fall priced at $5900 (which was the previous price and was currently $6900 online) is now $12,500. That day I also bought the extra large angel with the three bezel diamonds at $3500 and today it is $4800. I would not have considered buying either of those at today's price.
Gold has gone up, but not that much. Tariffs for Europe are not even settled yet. So I am really wondering how they are going to sell anything at these prices. I think it was a very risky move.
I was still hoping to add a few more pieces, certainly harder to justify doing so now.
, I thought I'd share something more uplifting. I think many of us here are animal lovers, and this book, which I'm currently reading, is so beautiful and interesting.

Here's the author's lovely post about her experience finding and raising a hare in the English countryside.
