and now I’m doing the dance of joy. I got it at a little flea market out in Manitoba, and actually purchased it just because I liked it. When I got back to the car with mom I happened to look at the back, and bingo - a Sherman signature. I’m positively tickled pink. 🙂 ---

Is this a really good thing, then? Is there something special about Sherman? (going off to look thru Mom’s rhinestone stuff) ---

Trust me - it’s a good thing. For one thing, the Sherman pieces really are a cut above. Secondly, the value of a Sherman piece in good condition is much higher than others, such as Coro. Basically I bought a $450 US bracelet for $10 CDN. I am a happy, happy bunny. 🙂 ---

Would you be interested in this site then? [http://www.ringsonherfingers.com/bigshermanshs7.htm](http://www.ringsonherfingers.com/bigshermanshs7.htm) This is a necklace and earrings for $65, by guesstimatation the price would be about right. ---

Good grab there, **alice**. Faux jewelery is one of the rising markets these days. Your little bargain should hold its value quite well. ---

**Lyllyan** - my bracelet is very close to [this](http://www.truefaux.com/cgi-bin/showdetail?id=s57340&incat=signed) one. It’s the aurora crystals that really add value. ---
