A surprise jewelry store

So next stop on our way to the museum was this well known jewelry store which my friend insisted on showing me. Past the two front doors and the armed guards, there seemed to be a photo shoot going on inside with the designer and model. Photographer telling everyone how to pause and we tried not to laugh.

Anyway the jewelry itself is amazing, great stuff, excellent craftsmanship and some weighing more than me. I weight a lot so go figure. After looking around and ignoring the model behavior we come across this neck-less lying freely on a counter top, I proceed to tell my friend she should buy it and besides its costume jewelry so how much can it really cost?

boy was I surprised, being that we were the only customers in the store, we got everyone's attention and the sales lady following us was very helpful. Not that we have anything to buy but there is no harm in pretending. Besides I was dressed like a homeless person so I don't think they though I would be buying anything. Anyway back to the neckless, I asked the sales lady what it was made of but either she did not near me correctly or she wanted us to put it down and leave the store, she tells us its a little over 50 lacks which in dollars is a little above $110,000.00. I mean who the hell leaves something like that lying on the counter top.

Anyway next visit will be after I win the lottery. But next day I did receive an email with the picture of the photo shoot from my friend. Printed in the telegraph T2 section. Thanks to her, here is what she called "witnessing news in the making" Thank you :).
