Comparison

The jeweller’s shop (where I was selling) was a symphony of taste, an exercise in understated furnishing, and cleverly designed to make rich people feel at home, with its stylish black backgrounds, gleaming glass cases and subtle lighting that showed off the diamonds perfectly and emphasised their sparkle; the charity shop, on the other hand, (where I was buying) was a jumble of items that were thrown together any how, no colour co-ordination, no themes, no organisation, and all illuminated by bare bulbs overhead, that could not be directed to glint off the beaded bracelets on the shelf, no matter how hard you tried.
