I love the Shine of silver and the glitter of gold. These two lovely metallics add charm to any item and class to nearly any ocassion. Alas, they can easily empty your wallet. Here are a few shimmering goodies to brighten your world without breaking the bank.

Sterling Silver Byzantine Bracelet This 7.5″ Byzantine link sterling silver bracelet looks both graceful and fun on nearly any wrist. So pretty, so timeless…and in this case, so inexpensive. The suggested retail price on it is $200.00, but you can get it from Amazon right now for the pittance of $45.95! That’s more than $150.00 off!

Flatware That’s Anything But Flat

So, you’ve got the table, the chairs, the plates, and the food simmering in take out containers…but what are you going to use to convey the food to your mouth?

Okay, most of us aren’t really so lost that we never bothered to get any flatware at all. Still, what one has may not be precisely what one would like to have in that regard. If that’s your case, allow me to direct you to Smart Bargains and this handsome 18/10 stainless steel flatware by Tracy Porter:

<>Tracy Porter Evelyn Place Setting The detail of the Evelyn pattern is exceptional, and yet the shape of the handle guarantees a comfortable grip. It would coordinate with many different looks seamlessly, too. Each set includes: 1 dinner fork, 1 salad fork, 1 knife, 1 tablespoon, and 1 teaspoon.

Best of all, it’s on sale at 42% off! It’s usually $69.99 a place setting, but right now Smart Bargains has this fabulous pattern for just $39.99 a setting! Whether you’re looking for one place setting to fill out the set you already have, a new pattern to add to your mix-and-match collection, wanting to upgrade to a new look for the entire table, this pattern would be a great place to start looking.
