There is a very convenient and easy way to mark a special collectible or favorite item when surfing around Ruby Lane… it is called the WISH LIST. The add to wish list function (with a heart next to it) is located on the upper right side of the page under the “Add To Cart” Button. Just click the button and the item goes to your wish list to view later…. How simple is that?

The Blog recently featured a fine article on the importance of originality in design, entitled A few Thoughts about Jewelry Design: Copying vs. Transforming, by Marcia Southwick of B Bold Jewelry for Boomer Girls on Ruby Lane. It brought up some points that are often debated by staff. As you are aware, with a few exceptions, reproduction items are not allowed on Ruby Lane.

I've noticed, lately, there seems to be a whole lot more complaints about the rising prices of everything. And I'm not immune. I catch myself making cry baby comments, too. Mine seem to be about things which I just can't comprehend.
