I'm not sure where this originated however I believe that it bears repeating...Please remember this Christmas, while you're eating your dinners and laughing, that in another house there is an empty chair where a hero should be sitting. They gave their life so you could sit with your family. So, please light a candle this Christmas for our fallen heros that did not make it back, and for those still serving in Iraq, Afganistan, and elsewhere.
All of us at Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and our best wishes for a Happy New Year. May positive energy surround you this holiday season and throughout the coming year.
Steampunk is a loose term used to describe an extraordinary fashion trend. By remixing styles from the Victorian era, classic Goth, gypsy, and industrial fetish, steampunk fashion creates a unique and beautifully disturbing look. H. G. Wells would be proud. At Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles we like to keep on top of these things (or try at least) so we have added these awesome Funtasma Tesla-102 Black Steampunk Lace Up Calf Boots to our collection.
Of course, in addition to these super boots we have dozens of other styles of footwear to choose from with designs ranging from classic to Gothic and everything in between. Please stop by and see us for all of your fashion needs. We look forward to seeing you.
Until next time...Rock On!!
Today we bid farewell to not one but two horses that have more than made their mark on horse racing history. It was announced earlier today that reigning Horse of The Year Rachel Alexandra has been retired from racing and will hopefully spend a long, healthy and happy life in Kentucky at Stonestreet Farm near Lexington. Although she will be sorely missed in the racing community she more than deserves this retirement and all of us at Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles wish her a long, happy life of leisure.
You can read Rachel's story here.
On a much sadder note, 1998 Kentucky Derby winner Real Quiet has died in a paddock accident at Michael Jester’s Penn Ridge Farm near Harrisburg, Pa. From what we've read it was a freak accident which, quite frankly, doesn't make a lot of sense but I suppose stranger things have happened. At any rate, it's always a shame to lost any horse, whether they are well known or unknown however, this is just tragic. You can read more about Real Quiet's accident here.
I think it's safe to say that neither one of these horses will be forgotten anytime soon. To Rachel...we wish you the best. To Real Quiet...please say hello to the Heavenly Herd for us and tell them we miss them. Thank you both for all of the awesome memories.

Sterling silver is composed of 92.5% silver alloyed with copper to strengthen it. Silver has one of the highest reflectivities of any metal, giving it unmatched brilliance, making it perfect for jewelry designs. Silver also has extremely high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Despite all these wonderful properties silver is relatively abundant and easy to extract from ore, so it is, at the same time, relatively affordable making it ideal for jewelry that will appeal to a wide audience.
At various times in history silver was even more valued than gold and had a mystical allure to it, often being associated with the sea, moon and lunar goddesses. This spirit of sterling silver is captured at many fine Sterling Silver Jewelry online stores. Hallmarking of silver places a stamped mark on the silver to identify its origin and purity and is often an important part of determining the value of a collectible piece.
There are other alloys of silver with a higher content of silver than sterling. Mexican and Brittania silver each have about 95% silver. Coin silver on the other hand typically has only 90% silver.
Please stop by Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles and browse through the many pieces of sterling silver jewelry that we have to offer...such as this stunning Antiqued 925 Sterling Silver Healing Black Hematite Ring.
We have a large variety of pieces to choose from and if we don't have it in our webstore please contact us and let us know what you are looking for, we just might be able to find it for you. We add new items frequently so please bookmark us and visit whenever you can.

Tuscan Evening, a five year old top grass female collapsed and died this morning after her workout. They believe it was a heart attack but a necropsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death. There doesn't appear to be much more information than this but you can read about it here and also here. This comes just one day after the most famous mare in all of racing, Zenyatta, continued her amazing streak by winning her 18th straight race without a loss at the Del Mar Racetrack.
Rest In Peace Tuscan Evening and thank you for giving us some great memories.
There is nothing more distinctive than DEMONIA footwear. Alternative, defiant, and nonconforming enthusiasts need look no further than DEMONIA for the most cutting-edge, beyond-the-ordinary line of footwear. Its original meaning and connotation of demonic diva is by no means gender exclusive. DEMONIA's no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners attitude is equally desirable to both female and male fans of the alternative underground culture. This vast collection of edgy footwear for both sexes caters to a wide variety of subcultures, and is offered in a variety of styles - from sandals, sneakers, and Mary Janes to creepers, Goth, and platform boots. DEMONIA not only reflects the alternative lifestyle, it defines it. DEMOMIA is a part of the Pleaser USA company which is well known for unique, quality footwear of all styles.
Personally I have been a fan of DEMONIA shoes and boots for quite a while. I love the way they look and I also appreciate the fact that they are well made shoes and boots which are comfortable at the same time. At Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles we carry a large variety of DEMONIA footwear as well as other lines of the Pleaser USA footwear. We have recently added some new styles of DEMONIA footwear. Some of these include shoes such as these Demonia Charade-07 Gothic Black Patent Leather Corseted Platform Pumps
and these Demonia Crypto-05 Gothic Black Studded Metal Mary Jane Pumps Shoes.
For summer wear we have these Demonia Demon-17 Black Patent Leather Slingback Sandals Shoes
and also these Demonia Glam-42 Black Studded Criss Cross Strap Sandals Shoes.
If you are like me and wear boots all year long we also have these Demonia Crypto-300 Gothic Black Platform Side Lace Knee Boots.
We also have many other shoes and boots made by Pleaser USA including Bordello and Funtasma footwear.
At the end of your busy day (or night) when you just want to sit back and chill out we have something for you also. Try sitting in your favorite chair, kicking back, lighting some scented candles of your choice and setting them in this Enchanted Pewter Celestial Moon Sun Stars Triple Votive Candle Holder.
A little Nag Champa can't hurt either.
Please stop by and see us. If you have a specific pair of shoes or boots in mind and we don't have it on our website please contact us...we can probably get them for you. Until next time...Rock On!!
Mary Jane style shoes have been around for quite a while. Mary Jane was a character created by Richard Outcault for his comic strip, Buster Brown, which was first published in 1902. She was the sister of the title character, Buster Brown. In 1904, Outcault traveled to the St. Louis World's Fair and sold licenses to up to 200 companies to use the Buster Brown characters to advertise their products. Among them was the Brown Shoe Company, who later hired actors to tour the country, performing as the Buster Brown characters in theaters and stores. This strategy helped the Brown Shoe Company become the most prominently associated brand with the Buster Brown characters. The style of shoe both Buster Brown and Mary Jane wore came to be known by her name, Mary Jane.
Today's modern Mary Jane shoes are much more varied than their original versions. The term (which was formerly trademarked) meant a kind of strap shoe or sandal that typically had low heels, broad and rounded closed toes, and a single-buckle strap across the instep and/or around the ankle. They were traditionally made of black patent leather. While the classic Mary Jane still retains its wide popularity and appeal, many of today's more stylish Mary Janes tend to be platform styles, with half-inch to one-inch soles and three- to five-inch "chunky heels", often with exaggerated grommets or buckles. These styles were especially popular in the United States in the late 1990s and early 2000s, within punk rock, psychobilly, and goth subcultures. They are also a popular part of Lolita fashion. On the more conservative side, many Mary Janes are considered to be a necessary addition to a woman's shoe collection. They provide the wearer with a comfortable yet classic dress shoe which is suitable for many different occasions.
At Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles we offer different styles of Mary Jane shoes. Our most recent additions are these beautiful Funtasma Arena-50 Patent Leather Mary Jane Pumps Shoes which are available in black and also in white.
Please stop by and visit us at Enchanted Jewelry & Collectibles for all your footwear needs and desires as well as all of your jewelry wishes.
