Vicki Beth Lynn has an eye for jewelry. She’s bought and sold lots of it over the years, especially the work of interesting designers from past and present. She knows dealers and jewelry-makers in Paris and London, and sells regularly to television shows and movies. (She also runs a multi-media production company but that is another story…)
Vicki and I were walking around Manhattan the other day when she stopped and pointed to a huge brass chain lying on the street, securing a bike to a post. “Look, Sal.” she said,”Wouldn’t that make a great necklace?”
And I looked and saw something I’d never have noticed before (but do now, thanks to Vicki): possibilities for jewelry in all sorts of everyday things, even in the street. Translate the look of that bike chain to a wearable version (real bike chains are HEAVY), and you’d have a dramatic and startling necklace…
…there are teachers all around us, sharing what they know…

Wow… I find it interesting that the person who locked up their bike spent the time, energy and money for a really strong lock… then they looped it through one single spoke on the wheel??? Any would-be thief could simply break that one single spoke and walk away with the bike. Yikes.
And I agree with you… I love my bike chain jewelry. I just converted my mountain bike to a single speed and the extra section of the brand new replacement chain makes a perfect bracelet.
Peace,
Tim
Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the easiest
thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries
that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit
the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without
having side-effects , people can take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
Why try to infiltrate this blog with your nonsensical words (inviting me to delete you as Spam) when you are selling something that segues well with the post?
