Sister
(1) I dont understand my sister.I buy beautiful jewelry which sells for 99 cents for each piece of jewelry but they look very expensive.Friends, Strangers, coworkers, etc all think I brought my jewelry in Lord & Taylors, Bloomingdales, Nordstrums, etc. However, my sister will not buy this jewelry. If I told my sister I brought the jewelry in Nordstrums, Lord & Taylors she would love it, however due to the fact that I told her where I brought it she po poos it, saying it is junk. (2) ALSO another thing I wanted to ask you during the course of the conversation below my Mom told my sister why are you saying those things to her - she likes the jewelry. SO ANOTHER QUESTION I AM ASKING YOU IS MY MOTHER KNOCKING THE JEWELRY. (HERE IS THE STORY: I buy jewelry at the 99 cent store and the jewelry I buy looks like I could have brought them at Lord & Taylors, Bloomingdales, Nordstrums - I get a lot of compliments on my jewelry. However, my sister is such a snob so she will not buy anything UNLESS you pay a lot. However, Tonight I was wearing a fun ring and she commented on the ring and asked if I brought it at the 99 cent store. I told her no that this was just a fun ring. However, the jewelry I buy at the 99 cent store does not look 99 cent, but she laughed, but my Mom told her that last night when Anna was here for the first night of Passover, Anna loved the necklace that I (meaning me) wore. I called my sister a snob, and she got mad, and said; dont ever call me that I still wont buy anything at a ninety cent store;. My brother-in-law told my sister that she should not say things like that to me. Any way later on I showed her a necklace and she said it was pretty and as my sister was getting ready to go home my mother said to her; why are you saying these hurtful things to her she likes the jewelry.)

1. I am not sure exactly why your sister is acting this way but it may just be down to the way she thinks. which is unless it's worth a lot of money it isn't worth having or good being seen in. Personally I go for anything which I like the look of regardless as to how much it costs (be it £10 or £150) but some people are just not like that. I mean I have seen people who walk around with the most plain and totally uninteresting watches you can ever see that look like something they won from a christmas cracker but because it had a big brand name on it and a price tag of £800+ they just HAD to have it. Dare I say it's kind of weird but that's really just how some poeple are I guess. All you can really do is put up with it I'm afraid.
2. From the sounds of it I don't think your mom was taking any sides at all. I think your mom was just mad that you were really happy about your purchases and how your sister just came along and tried to make you look bad because of that. I think your mom was just not wanting your sister to upset you really and she wasn't speaking ill or otherwise about the jewellery.

At this point in your life you are learning that very often "expensive" does not necessarily mean stylish and good taste. This is something your sister has yet to learn.
Keep finding your treasures. Who knows ? You may be a future jewelry designer.
