well hello there lover!

So, so, so in love with this ring on Ruby Lane!  To buy, or not to buy, that is the question?!  I have been on the search for a scroll shank ring since March and I don't think that it can get any better than this.  But I have such a hard time pulling the trigger.  Help me, dear readers, should I splurge on such a ring?

Happy Friday!  I am still on the search for that "Dare to be Great" ring.  How stunning is this antique beauty?!

for November babies

I feel that citrine is an often under-appreciated stone.  The deep rich amber tones of some citrines are a particular favorite of mine.  This Art Deco filigree ring features a 3.5 carat emerald cut citrine with just that perfect rich amber tone.

Another take on interesting stud earring designs (like the ear climber or ear pins I have been seeing a lot lately).  The diamonds on these earring jackets peek out from behind your ear.  For those of us that have multiple holes in their ears, this leaves an awesome opportunity to "outfit" our ears with an interesting collection of earrings.  FINALLY something good coming out of having all those piercings again!

Happy Friday!  Here's a beauty for your enjoyment!  Love the design of this Hirotaka ring.  (And I have to be honest, I was expecting the price tag to be much higher on this one.)

for October babies

October is my favorite month.  It also happens to have one of my favorite stones, tourmaline, as one of its birthstones.  Nothing in my mind beats the rich, stunning colors of tourmaline, as seen in this breathtaking early 1900s tourmaline and diamond dress ring.  And if tourmaline isn't quite your style, October babies can also choose opal as their month representative.  This 1909 opal and diamond ring features 3 fiery opals in a beautifully detailed scroll shank 18ct gold setting.

Cannot get enough of ear climber earrings!  How outrageous are these by Jemma Wynne?!  I keep searching for my perfect pair but I am seeing some really good designs for this hot trend, it has been very hard to choose!
