The Necklaces and The Tassels #ETSY #SamEdelman

Posted on

I have been on the hunt, these last few months, for the perfect tassel necklace.  I had searched, and searched, till one day I decided to search www.etsy.com.  Estsy had many tassel necklaces.  My search had come to an end as soon as I saw the black and white pearl necklace dusted with Swarovski Crystal.  I found it!  Found my tassel necklace…10204_2Till! Till L&T sent me a $60 off any item coupon.

I couldn’t believe it!  $60  was a lot of money and L&T was giving it to me.  Had to go to L&T to see what I could get with this $60 coupon.  How awesome.

 I really had no intentions of buying another piece of costume jewelry, let alone another tassel necklace.

Till!  Till, I glanced over at the custome jewelry glass case and saw a tassel necklace that I  knew was the one for me.1

It was a Sam Edelman piece.

Not familiar with this designer  but I sure loved the design of his tassel necklace.

I also liked the price.   My $60 coupon was all I needed.  1025141134

Yup!   Walked out of L&T with a new tassel necklace and it didn’t cost me  a dime.  Now I have two tassel necklaces.  I don’t have a problem with that.  Now on to tassel earrings … 🙂
