Mrs. OMC, you are so very kind to indulge us with your beautiful presence and "presents"!  You rock too!     and      thank you!        (if I had to pick...I would say that my favorite are the orange floral earrings...but that's because I am addicted to beautiful flowers...btw, they look lovely on you!)

You can consider them cyber-licked - but I'm not sure that will act as a deterrent (speaking as an owner of 2 large dogs and knowing what we end up wearing if not eating...)

I'd like to cyber-lick a few other pieces in the collection, actually.  It's such a gross and horrible concept, especially when applied to delicate micropave. Sorry about that!

Brava, Mrs. C!   

Thank you for modelling your new jewels for our delectation.  You give our dreams the feel of reality with your generosity.   

WOW!  Your collection gets more and more stunning...

I have to ask OMC, how do you keep all these jewels stored/displayed when they aren't being worn? (My apologies if this was addressed in another thread and I missed it).

If it were me, I would give them a room solely dedicated to displaying each piece under glass with pin lights...kinda like the crown jewels.  After all, these are museum quality pieces.
Hey, now that I think about it...I bet you could even charge admission. Although...it would have to be like a petting zoo....especially with the DBL folk....HA! They'd be first in line, no doubt...

Okay me too..but that's besides the point.   But since it as my idea...I want head of the line privileges.  Deal?

I'd love to pet the diamonds and other jewels!  Can I get an admissions ticket through DBL or will I have to go through stub-hub?   

Quite a while ago, DD was convinced that they were "sevendwarves", plural of "sevendwarf"... And I can assure you that while I may bear a passing resemblance to Doc, I am in no way similar to Prince Charming. 'Nuff said.

DW says thank you for the compliments.

DJM: they are normally kept in jeweller trays in the safe. Not on display - Switzerland is a very safe country, but there are limits. We do take them out when there are people that like to play, but petting them is not something that I thought of. You have lifetime free entry and unlimited petting privileges (when not worn).

Does she go to the grocery store in her jewels?  I must know.  If I owned them I'd be wearing them for every occasion I could dream up.  Heading to the market, taking out trash, and so on and so forth.  Then again I used to dress up to go in character all the time, so this would just be the next logical evolution.  What can I say?  It made life interesting and I had good friends that indulged me!

Totally not fair to that lovely jewelry- Ms C outshines anything...


Great shots- amazing stuff OMC!!!

No flashy "celebu-tards" in Switzerland? Can we ship you some of ours?

There are a few very wealthy people in this town but you would never guess it by the way they look. As I get older I find that I appreciate more and more how one cannot judge by appearances. Just like Mama always told me!

We have a lot of people like that.  In general we find that the "old money" people locally aren't as flashy as those who have less and are of "new money".  Gosh that sounds bad, but the whole point is you can't judge here by the way people dress or even sometimes what they drive. Then again with one plant being in our state many buy one specific brand for that reason alone.  Anyway you would have zero clue who has a ton of money and who doesn't based on how people look when they pick up their kids from school.  In fact many of the more wealthy care less about showy brands than others.  They want to streatch that money which is how they became and stayed wealthy in the first place.

Obviously this isn't true of everywhere.  Many want to flaunt the money whether they have it or not.

Btw, I think Mrs OMC looks beautiful and she wears the jewelry well.
