Jewelry Expo Preview
By Celebrity Trollop | September 15, 2007
You might’ve noticed the Jewelry Expo banner ad running on the Second Style websites for the last few weeks. Even if you haven’t, the expo officially kicks off tomorrow (September 15) and runs through the 22nd. The expo’s running on OnRez Orientation (128, 128).
There are over 90 vendors showing off their creations — and just like at Hair Fair, many vendors have set out some really great freebie items for you to pick up. In addition to grabbing some high quality freebies, you’ll want to play in the Expo treasure hunt, attend several designer-run events, and as always, just people watch (and gawk) as various shoppers make their way around the venue.
One of the other things that will be going on at Jewelry Expo is a fund raising effort for the American Cancer Society. There’s some donation collection stations set up around the island, but you’ll also want to check out the spectacular jewelry items housed in the Charity Auction Hall. My favorite piece here was by Jackal Ennui of Lassitude and Ennui, but there were so many beautiful creations to bid on — one will certainly catch your eye, I’m sure.
I really enjoyed my long tour around the sim — I was especially enchanted with the Juliette set by Earthtones Boutique, the Platinum Fantasy set at Purple Rose, the Antiqued Pearl necklace/earring set limited edition by Paper Couture (which will not be sold in the regular Paper Couture store once the Expo concludes), and Siyu Suen’s collection of incredibly intricate sculptie prim jewelry items. Unfortunately, not every booth had been set up, so I’ll have to make another trip to see what I missed.
Make sure you don’t miss the expo! It’s definitely worth the lag.

/me puts away all attachments to confront the expo. Wonderful initiative from Miriel. BTW, I think you mean Earthtones Boutique instead if Earthbound * grins* and yeah.. Juliette is lovely… I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it when it came out last spring.
