Well, I seem to be a little obsessed this
season with Wilson Bentley (1865-1931)
the American farmer and snow crystal photomicrographer.
I did a post on him earlier this month and showcased
several of his beautiful photographs. You can also
see some on my sidebar. Gladys happened
to comment on that post that Harry Winston had
created some jewelry inspired by snowflakes. So,
I had to check them out! Here's one of my favorites!
Although not as expensive or fancy, I do havetwo tiny snowflake pins of my own! They are
quite old, but still fun to wear on my sweater!

We've had our first two snowfalls so far thisseason! Maybe we'll have a white Christmas!
Just lovely.

Bach ~ I have a little heart-shaped rhinestone pin that was a gift to Grandma from me way back when. When she died, I guess everyone looked for it to pin on her dress she was to be buried in, but couldn't find it anywhere. When her closet was cleaned out, it was found on a dress and given to me. Yes, she would have loved these snowflakes, too! Bittersweet memories! Sigh.
ReplyDeleteBrian ~ 18 inches! I bet your boys are just about going crazy! How fun...take pictures!
ReplyDeleteThat snowflake actually shines in the picture it is almost like an optical illusion. The picture of you on the sidebar is a really good picture!
ReplyDeleteWhy, thanks, Otin! :)
ReplyDeleteAre you snowed in?
Hi! Betsy,
ReplyDeleteNice photographs of snowflake jewelry.
Thanks, for sharing!

Oops! I forgot that the TT members, don't meet next week...
ReplyDeleteTherefore, Happy Holidays!...To you and your five men and Nugget too!
DeeDee ;-D
Your pins are pretty, Betsy...very sparkly! I used to have a snowflake pendant. Have a great week : )
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty. I love snowflakes too. I'll bet that Harry Winston is a fortune!
ReplyDeleteWe don't get much snow at all, but I'd gladly take some Harry Winston snow! I love your two little pins; I have some similar earrings that I love wearing this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI like those pins. We hardly ever get snow. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I always enjoy reading about your family. We recently tried spaghetti squash and loved it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful jewelery.;) So fragile and so delicate.
ReplyDeleteI am keeping my fingers crossed for the snow to last, enjoy it.;)

Ooo...pretty sparklies!
ReplyDeleteI lurve these pieces of ice too! I have a snowflake necklace I got from the Cookie Lee jewelry line and it was VERY affordable.
ReplyDeleteThat is a classic example of why I think Nature does a superior job in decorating and/or designing.
ReplyDeleteI mean, think about a square snowflake and tell me the one on your lawn would look good in square. LOL
We seem to have a kind of itch to change the pine tree into a carnival of lights and gaudy sculpture. I never have understood the fascination of "decoration" when it comes to disguising Nature's creations.
We got trees all over the place and none look alike. LOL
Niiiiice! I fancy that blue-hued one. And glad to see ya got some of the white stuff!! Snowball fight anyone?
ReplyDeleteSubby ~ you're on...let me get my mittens! ;)
ReplyDeleteI like all of them...and snowflakes are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the snow on the ground. I hope we get more so we can have a truly WHITE Christmas.
