<p>We had a lot of fun checking out the <strong>Antique Jewelry Show in Las Vegas</strong> this year. We spent over six hours browsing all of the gorgeous jewelry on the first day alone! Picking out what to bring back to Franklin for our store was the hardest part...so many pretty jewels! We<strong> chose several pieces</strong> these earrings are one of our first picks! We had them in our store for only two days and they were sold!</p>
<p>Stop by our store to see what else we brought back from Vegas!</p>
