Blue Nile Is Having A Secret Sale

This post is presented in collaboration with Blue Nile

Blue Nile is having a “secret sale” on a few select pieces. Secret, as in it’s not navigable via their site, you have to use this link, here, and use the code SECRETSALE.

The sale is significant because it’s 40% off. Which means you could get this pretty silver, amethyst, and white topaz necklace for your daughter for ~$90, instead of $145. There’s something about that square with the drop shape.

Silver amethyst and topaz necklaceThe sale also includes a few nice pairs of earrings, particularly these in silver, and these, in gold.

    1. @Kathy, You’re welcome! So glad you liked them, my favorite thing is pieces just different enough to tweak a class. I’m thinking those will qualify.

  1. I like amethyst and purple colour
    Looking for a long silver chain necklace to wear with big silver /coral (I know :-)) pendant ON my black,navy and grey turtlenecks (also can wear only gold on skin- Princess and the Pea! ) but in my corner of the world
    Dottoressa

  2. Amethyst is the birthstone for February. Not mine but just saying, in case someone has a February birthday coming up :)

  3. Will pass along the jewelry link to Beloved. He has 2 daughters. He keeps giving them money, and I say add jewelry to that !

    Foundation plantings began as screen for foundations-on-stone in USA. TV came along & the tidy foundation plantings solidified into method.

    Then, apartment complexes ca. 80’s, realized they can get more rent for well landscaped buildings, heaving on foundation plantings, flowers, mulch.

    Then residentially, late 80’s, Mr. Testosterone-on-wheels-commodify-all-I-touch built a solid business on maintenance with pruning, mowing, fresh mulch, fertilizing, insecticides/fungicides and exchanging annuals 2x/year. Zero landscape element left untouched by him in his contract. Of course his best foundation plantings need pruning 2x/year.

    Follow the money.

    In Europe they never had cheap gas afteer WWII. Their gardens never turned into landscapes with foundation plantings. Vines or espalier, or gravel to the house. Zero money for the man mentioned above.

    Follow the money.

    My contractor, traditional, still has issues installing my landscapes, yet he makes more money with them. How? New light fixtures, painting the home, exchanging windows into French doors, stone terraces, you get the idea.

    From age 3, I knew USA landscapes were awful. Preferred what was growing near salt water and in the ditches along roads near Galveston Bay home.

    Of course have left a bit of history out…..

    Thank you for asking, and probably TMI !!

    Garden & Be Well, XOT
