Ghosting Jewelry in New York January 7th, 2010
Last year, we came to New York for New Years, plus I wanted to see the ‘Ghost Busters’ fire station. By the time I found it, it was dark so none of my photos turned out well. So, the next morning, bright and early, I headed up Moore Street in order to get a nice daylight photo. It was perfect!
I next headed down to Wall Street, just so I could say I was there. I got out of the train stop and witnessed one of the most beautiful buildings of my life; Tiffany’s. I’ve been in the Tiffany’s in Palm Springs and bought a ring, but now I had the opportunity to buy a matching bracelet. I knew I needed to watch what I spent, but I dragged myself inside anyway. I was greeted by a beautiful sales woman and she was very personable and made me feel very welcomed. As I talked to her for a bit, she told me some great stories of all the places she’s lived, including Florida, which was the next stop on my trip! So, we had a lot to talk about, almost too much, really, but I found the bracelet that matched my ring; the style is known as the ‘love knot’ because it resembles a knot in the shape of a heart. She showed me 3 or 4 bracelets, each one with the ‘love knot’, but the width on them varied. I picked the bracelet that was the prettiest, but it didn’t quite match my ring.
But, my story of finding a ‘love-knot’ bracelet has a tragic ending. I lost them the next day. After I checked out of one of the better New York Casino hotels, I headed into Manhattan. I do remember having the ring and bracelet on the train, because the gal sitting next to me commented about how pretty they were, but when I got back to my hotel very late in the evening, I was no longer wearing them. That whole night was kind of a blur, due to clubbing it at as many clubs as I could afford. They must have slipped off while I was dancing the whole night away and I didn’t notice.
What a shame, really. I finally had exquisite jewelry, from Tiffany’s and only got to enjoy them for a brief moment. I can’t help but sing ‘Moon River’ in head and sigh.
