Joden Girl
Baubles, Bling, and A Collector’s Things
250 million roses will be sold this year for Valentine’s Day. For hundreds of years, flowers have symbolized love and romance. Sadly, those fragrant blossoms will begin to fade the moment they’re snipped… lasting about a week or less after you bring them home.
Perhaps I can entice you with an alternative from Joe’s Special Box. These stunning Art Nouveau earrings (handcrafted over 100 years ago), are in excellent condition with very little change since the day they were made. Each vine-like drop begins and ends with a fully enameled pink bud connected with a series of faint green leaves. The detail on every petal is incredible. These beauties are available for just $1650.
If you purchased just one dozen roses each year for your significant other, that would total something like $3,000… provided the loves lasts for half a century or more. That certainly makes these earrings seem like quite a bargain, especially for roses that are sure to last a lifetime.
