Don't all jewelry lovers identify with the adventures of others who share their passion? Between Wall Street careers, Ann Galvani cultivated a passion for jewelry - a passion that survived losses from a major theft, two medical tsunamis, and financial setbacks. Weathering those storms enabled her to rebuild four separate jewelry collections from scratch - truly the silver lining in those clouds. But as it turns out, bad weather fuels great stories. The quests to restore this jewelry-lover's lost treasures are told with poignancy, drama, and humor through the vignettes in The Jewels of My Life .
and Other Mysteries. The backstories, mysteries, and fantasies about some of her jewelry (as well as stories she has been told along the way) are sure to captivate your fantasy, challenge your deductive skills, or shock your sensibilities. Read about an unsolved theft, the disparity between auction houses and sellers, and the heist by a beguiling con-artist who, with successively false stories, fooled detectives and even a judge, who accepted her excuses without challenging the integrity of her deceptions.
