Hello Cousins!
My baby son is now four months old. I am doing fine.
What was your favorite jewelry that was shown on DS?
-
Julia's wonderful medallion of course! ;D
-
Thos emerald earrings Willie gave Maggie were lovely.
-
vicki's charm bracelet and those ropes of gold "chanel-ish" chains that julia wears with that burnt orange tweed suit.
in general dr.hoffman got some fine baubles to pin onto those tweeds.
-
I like those large "dangly" triangle baubled earrings Julianka and later some of Nancy Barrett's characters wore. They are very sexy. I also like Joan Bennett's emeralds. I wish I could afford them for my wife.
No question Barnabas's onyx ring is a classic. Simple, elegant, and hints of mystery.

I agree the ring is an essential element of the character, but I must say, a ring like that on a man, especially worn on the index finger, just seemed a little effeminate to me. I would have preferred something more masculine and on either a middle, ring, or even a pinky finger like you'd expect from a man. I liked that sometimes Jonathan forgot (?) to take off his pinky ring, I think it was his school ring from Yale. Rings like that, worn on a finger other than the index, to me anyway, are manly.

I've always thought that rings of any kind looked odd on a man's hands. Perhaps because I can't recall any of the men in my family ever wearing them....not even wedding rings.

Buzz,
Gee, I sort of liked King Johnny Romano's "extensive" assortment of jewelry. Heck, from nearly head-to-toe, the good King Johnny was SO resplendent in glittery stuff, that he looked like "Super Fly," Liberace and "Honey Bear" from "Starsky & Hutch," all rolled-up into one!!! [9050] [kingy] [spin]
Bob, K-Mart jewelry department devotee! ::)

Well now, King Johnny, that's another story! ;) I too loved ALL of his bling. (and I think you meant HUGGY Bear! ;))
I also like the bling that PT Bruno wears. Very pimpin'! [pimp]

Hey, not to get off of the topic of jewelry (worn by both women and men) on Dark Shadows, but did you ever notice, that while we got to see, literally, dozens of "working girls" in Collinsport, Maine over the centuries, not ONCE, did we ever get to their (how should I put this politely?) "procurers" either hanging out on the Collinsport docks or sitting in their white Cadillacs, parked right near the Blue Whale Tavern? ??? >:D
PS Oops! I meant Huggy-Bear. Thanks! ;D

I don't know, Bruno came close! ;)

You know, I do think that I once saw Bruno, "styling," on the corner of 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue, back during the 1970s (in that shearling coat of his, of course)! ::)

The Collinsport working girls never needed pimps. Whate ELSE was there to do in Colllinsport on a Saturday night? ;)

Hmm, how about listening to Judge Crathorne and/or Ezra Braithwaite deliver "oh-so-engrossing" lectures on the development of the ship-building and fishing industries in the greater Collinsport area at the Collinsport Historical Society?, [dsapb] [sleepy1]
-or- browsing through Megan and Phillip Todd's quaint and eclectic antique shop? (I especially liked that stuffed moose head, that the Todds had in their shop. It looked almost like the one that clonked poor Basil Fawlty on the head, in a memorable episode of "Fawlty Towers"!), [Wolfie]
-or- how about just hoisting a few at the Blue Whale, while the always-jocund Bob Rooney regales the assembled customers with his heartwarming renditions of "Danny Boy" and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling"? [beer] [laughing7] [okg]
-
Hmmmm.....maybe you're on to something there.
How about a picnic in the graveyard? Or collecting seashells at the bottom of Widdow's Hill?
Or a tour of historic houses? Gawd....that ALONE could keep you out all night!! :D
-
Heck, yes! And, after that pleasant picnic in the graveyard, how about dropping by the always-sociable Eagle Hill Cemetery caretaker's home for a lively game of Charades or even Trivial Pursuit?
I can see it now: Carolyn, Buzz Hackett, Dr. Dave Woodard, Madame Findlay, Ezra Braithwaite and Donna Friedlander playing all sorts of games with the cordial caretaker, like, "Twisters," "Pin-the-Tail-on-the-Donkey," and, of course, "Spin-the-Bottle"! [occasion17] [occasion18] [love3] [beer]

I know it isn't a piece of jewelry, but Barnabas' silver wolf head's cane is legendary. I wouldn't mind owning a cane like that I don't mind telling you.... [hall2_wink]
-
I think I'd go for the emerald earrings [spoiler]that Willie put into Maggie's purse which had belonged to Josette.[/spoiler] They were very elegant. I don't normally go for something that large but they would be fun to wear on occasion.
I also liked Liz's emerald broach that [spoiler]Willie stole and Jason made him give back[/spoiler] but it was square and I would have preferred it be round.

I like the cane and ring. Just think how long it would have taken us to guess who came out to the coffin the first time. ???
