Hush jewelry sample/stock sale

If you are like me and have been thinking in this awful economy, when will the really expensive jewelry go on sale?, you need to sit up straight for this sale. This is not your costume jewelry sale. I have spoken to the sale coordinators, and on the high end, you should expect to see brands normally adorning starlets come Oscar-time. Think big. Mariah Carey big. Of course, not all the pieces available will be from household names, but I probably wouldn't show up without a few thousand to spend even though prices will be 50-80% off retail. Names that can be publicly released, just to whet your appetite, are Bvlgari, Boucheron, Laura Munder, and Salavetti. The sale is being hosted by London Jewelers and Windsor Jewelers, if you want to research-- just remember that some brands absolutely prevent anyone from publicly naming names.

Tip: the very eager can pony up $200 or $125 to beat the masses. Also, for obvious reasons, no bags allowed, bring your credit cards and picture ID. All sales final, so inspect everything carefully!
