What is your recent ALCHEMY purchase?

Oh that just looks too sweet I dunno where I would put it since my clothes are like they are but I would like one of these anyway

I picked up my Alchemy Dragon tie pin yesterday. :laugh:

You did it yourself from a dragon button?
Looks good.

I had the local jeweller make it. It cost me 25 euros, but at least I know it has been done right.

:ohmy: Wow..That's quite a bit! But it's very pretty. ^.^

..I'm going to sound really stupid here, but what is a tie-pin used for and how is it used? Or does the name state the obvious e.g. It's a pin to hold a tie together or something..Never come across one before..

I really like the tie pin. It pins your tie down to your shirt, so it doesn't flap around. Handy if you are eating soup!

I have to get to my jeweler to fix my Alchefly bracelet, but also my horse bracelet, and a few other pieces that need minor repair. Ugh. The sad part of loving c-shaped bangle bracelets, but having wrists so small that I have to bend them every time I put them on and take them off.

Wearing a tie pin is usually really tacky, since the tie won't be able to move normally. It should be heavy enough to hold itself straight down on its own and if you can't eat soup without messing up your tie, you need a lesson in table manners, not a tie pin.
But, I'm using the tie pin when wearing a waistcoat, since the tie has a habit of going diagonally due to the movement of the waistcoat, and since it can't move freely, it will stay there.

Yes, bathroom shot. No I'm not an attention addicted emo (well, I am addicted to attention, but not in a woe is me, my teenage angst drives me to suicide kind of way)
