Dear Tina,
How do I save money during this economy? Is there such a thing as jewelry rentals or places that will update my existing jewelry pieces?

Dear MoneySaver
This is definitely a tough time for us all. If you have 14kt gold or higher karat jewelry, you could bring it to a local jeweler to have them buy it from you based on the gold weight. You will not get what you paid for, but you will get cash. Or, if you don’t wish to part with your jewelry, consider revamping it by having items re-strung, or remade into something else.
Dear Tina,
I want to buy my boyfriend some jewelry but I don’t know where to go? What shops or websites have jewelry for guys that won’t make him look like a category_ido?

There is a great little store on the Lower East Side of NYC called BBlessing which offers men jewelry options that are not category_ido’s heavy chains. The accessories are definitely for the man who is not afraid of style. I suggest the key necklace for something that is a little edgy and not feminine.
