Happy Friday!

Happy Friday to all! I feel like this week has flown by!

I got my first jewelry sale yesterday, which was pretty exciting. My stuff is on Etsy but I have been slacking recently and need to add more items.

So I'm wrapping up this week with some random jewelry news. Yesterday in China, a pearl necklace was sold for $8.7 million in a Sotheby's auction, a record price for imperial jewels. But this was no ordinary necklace. It was believed to have belonged to Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing dynasty. Behind the model is a portrait of the emperor wearing the necklace.

How's that for some pricey pearls? And that's all I've got for today! :)
