Family-Jewel Feuds
Susan Eisen has written The Myth of the Million Dollar Dishrag on a topic she sees all too frequently in her role as appraiser and owner of Susan Eisen Fine Jewelry in El Paso, TX — families feuding over heirlooms. “I wrote the book for jewelers to advise customers, but it’s also for customers who collect jewelry,” Eisen says.

The collection is available in two versions. The Prestige Collection is in lotus-red lacquer with yellow gold finishes. A Chic Collection has black lacquer and palladium finishes. www.st-dupont.com/usa
