Will Ross here, welcome to The Traveling Avatar's Quick and Dirty Tips for a Better Second Life. On this show we discuss tips and tricks for the game Second Life, created by Linden Labs.

Today we're going to talk about jewelry, and when I say jewelry I do not mean those five-inch-thick glowing platinum monstrosities worn around the neck of every shirtless long-haired blingtard you find hitting on every single girl in the club.

I'm talking about the good stuff, the sorts of stuff you will not find in a pawn shop with a blood stain on the clasp. All of these stores were not chosen by me, I promise. To do this episode I got a little help from the shopaholics around me. Thanks, Hope and Daph!

The first store used to be called H & M Jewelry. Ahem, I said H & M, not S & M. Sorry to disappoint. But it's recently been changed to the JCNY Collection.

JCNY carries a smaller collection of jewelry than most stores, but it's all very high quality both in design and build. Along with the standard necklaces, bracelets, rings, and piercings, they have an eclectic selection of non-tacky accessories. Well, except for the thigh-high dominatrix boots with the metal stilletto heels. They've also got a good selection of wedding items, in case you've found the avatar of your dreams -- or at least your weekend.
