Mark your calendars to check out the Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare Auxiliary fashion jewelry show.
There will be a large selection of fine jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, earrings, and more made in silver and beads.
These are fine, high-quality accessory pieces everyone will appreciate. What's nice about jewelry is it's a very personal gift and not expensive to ship for those family members who live out of state.
