Top 10, Week Ending 8/19/16

I'm starting to get this down to a weekly routine.  This week I deleted necklace, earrings, bracelet, ring because they would always take four of the top ten spots.  It's starting to get interesting:

1. BLUE
2. TREE (A THREE-WAY TIE FOR #2)
3. BEAD (TIED FOR #2)
4. STEAMPUNK (TIED FOR #2)
5. MEN  (A FOUR WAY TIE FOR #5)
6. PAPER (TIED FOR #5)
7. LEATHER (TIED FOR #5)
8. MURANO (TIED FOR #5)
9. GEMSTONE
10. SEASIDE

This weights handmade more than vintage, and is not an exact science.  

Top Ten WE 8/12/2016

1. Silver (including Sterling)
2. Earring
3. Pearl
4. Necklace
5. Bracelet
6. Ring (including Wedding Band)
7. Gold (including 14K)
8. Wedding
9. Turquoise
10. White

This is not scientific by any standard!  These are compiled from tweets having to do with handmade and vintage jewelry.  Handmade is weighted much more than vintage.

I'm thinking maybe next week I will leave out earring, bracelet, necklace and ring because they are always in there. Leaving them out may give us some more useful information.  What do you think?
