Raleigh Silver Jewelry Shop

For women who love silver jewelry but not the silver tarnish, I’ve got the store for you!  Men…take note.

Have you heard the brand name, Brighton?  Their signature logo is the heart.  In case you don’t know, Brighton makes and sells jewelry, handbags, shoes, wallets, and other accessories.  Their style is very scroll-y, and decorative with hearts and flowers.

What makes their silver really unique is it doesn’t normally tarnish.  They double dip their silver in silver again.  I guess that keeps it from tarnishing and looking dull.  That’s what I’m talkin’ about!  My biggest gripe with silver is that it tarnishes — even when you put ‘em in Ziploc bags.  Who has time to clean silver these days?  Especially if it’s a bunch of little silver pieces like on a silver bracelet.  You can tell Brighton makes quality too ‘cause the silver looks real sturdy. 

They have a very smart way of getting a following.  Basically they point you to their website where you can create ‘a wish list’.  They also have a paper version you can pickup in any store.  But you can’t buy their stuff online…not sure why that is though.  I was told they don’t usually have sales unless a piece is going to retire.  The store I was in had minimal sale pieces.  Just a few wallets mainly.  Jewelry is priced fairly usually ranging from $40 to $75.  Most pieces I saw were in the $50 range.

They position each piece as special and can retire at any time.  Scarcity…that’s smart.  Remember the Beanie Baby craze?  Well, I still have about 50 or more of those stuffed animals around.   But the Beanie Baby company did the same thing to keep the craze going…  they kept retiring certain animals so they would stay hot.  A lot like the Beanies, Brighton sells many items.

By the way, one of my Beanies that I still have on a bookshelf is a ‘lil Doberman.  My Apollo looks like him ‘cause of the his markings even though he’s a Chihuahua mix.

Speaking of Apollo, I’ve wondered more than a few times what he’s thinking.  My guess is not A LOT.  His doggy mind is probably just mush. But we can learn a lot from our pets and dogs. They’re so ‘in the moment’…not worried about yesterday or tomorrow. This morning on our walk, he lifted his leg up on his usual number of 30 or so neighborhood bushes… and then on this one bush, where he kept his leg up there like an acrobatic gymnast for 10 seconds or more. The well was dry but he just kept staring at me with those big Chihuahua eyes, while holding that pose.  It just made me laugh.  I wanna see his yoga, Downward Dog pose.
