The old adage, “You get what you pay for” doesn’t always ring true, particularly if you’re a savvy bargain hunter. My adage is “To get more than what you pay for” … I like mine better and usually it’s true.

So I get an e-mail from a website that will send you FREE jewelry. It sounded too good to be true, but curiosity over came me and I went for a peek to www.SilverJewelryClub.com

What they do is list a new piece of a sterling silver jewelry on their site that you can have for free, except that you have to pay shipping and handling of $5.99. They’ll only send one per customer… so you can’t keep going back and get more. Here’s how they explan why they’re doing this.

“Giving away our jewelry for free is our way of introducing our products. We know the competition is fierce, and we want you to experience our jewelry. Wear it yourself or give it as a gift!”

The day I logged on they had a garnet earring set as a freebie. A nice sized garnet set in sterling silver. I plopped down my credit card and sent away for my almost free jewelry. My hubby thought I had lost my mind… possibly.

It arrived in less than a week and was much nicer and a bit bigger than I imagined. This could retail anywhere from $19-$29 and I paid $5.99, a definite deal! Not quite free but a definite deal. They guarantee their jewelry and buying is secure with encryption with a SSL certificate from Verisign.

As I write this they have a matching garnet pendant that retails at $39. Phooey- I’ve already ordered mine. Go get yours!
