Jewelry Fair: The Charity

Over the course of the past week, I’ve talked about individual elements of the fair. I’ve yet to cover “the why” for this fair – The Charity. Its not only a great way for designers to show their imagination and innovation but also to be able to give back to the community.

Beast’s Castle, the darker of the two castle sims, hosts the silent auction benefiting Oxfam International. At this location there are one-of-a-kind items up for bid.

In case you’re not in the mood for an auction there is always meandering through the sims to your favorite jewlers finding the charity vendors. The fair’s official blog state:

“100% of the proceeds from vendor entry fees, auctions for one-of-a-kind items created especially for this Fair, paid sponsorships, and special events proceeds will all go to support Oxfam. Many jewelers are also putting up special vendors to share 50% of proceeds from the sales of specially designed themed pieces and some of their creative best.”

What are you waiting for?! Head over to experience Jewelry Fair 2010 and give back to the community: Jewelry Fair 2010 Location

Jewelry Fair: The Theme

This year’s Jewelry Fair theme is “Beauty and the Beast”. When I first heard this theme I thought of the typical fantasy but had no idea how it would come together. I was so very pleasantly surprised to see a light and dark side of the castles and village settings like I presented in my first post of this Jewelry Fair series.

Now that I’ve experienced the fair, I saw the full theme come to life. Each sim tells its own story with complimentary designers appropriately located. This made finding designers so much easier and, for sure, allowed more lindens to leave my pocket.

Feel free to browse all four sims and get lost in the fantasy of the theme or choose to teleport to each directly. One of my good friends blogged the emergence of the theme. Her post is a wonderful story.

Jewelry Fair: The Location

The Jewelry Fair is officially opened! This year’s fair is hosted on four sims all designed around the Beauty & the Beast theme. Its two sims of a castle setting, one light & one dark and the other two sims are set in town and a type of gypsy camp. Its a great layout, rezzes quickly – making shopping so much fun and easy to navigate.

I was pleasantly surprised to see so many designers and many I’ve never seen before the fair. Of course there are several faves, like this one. Find out more on LunaJubilee.com by following my Jewelry Fair Series.
