"Brass bands are all very well in their place - outdoors and several miles away." - Sir Thomas Beecham

It may just be my miserly Scottish soul but I find myself mildly obsessed with vintage brass jewelry at the moment...all the warmth of gold...at pocket-money prices. This curb chain, for example, was a very fiscally responsible $14.50...as I plan on wearing it every day for the foreseeable future my cost-per-wear should break down to about a cent a week...
