why I love...

Here are 2 examples of why I adore Robert Lance Jewelers! The craftsmanship is impeccable and you can't beat his pricing. These 2 beautiful custom-made rings are part of my wedding ring set and go wonderfully with my antique engagement ring and wedding band.

cutest little studs

Figs + Ginger's stud earrings are as cute as cute can be! I love their child-like whimsy. And if you are having a hard time choosing your favorite, don't worry, they are only $25 a pair! (p.s. I am also totally enamored with their lovebirds necklace!)

everyday diamonds

Persimmon is one of my favorite jewelry sites which offers an array of designs by different designers (seriously... it seems like this site was created just for me!). Right now, I am obsessing over Mizuki's bezel set diamond necklace. I so want to be the kind of girl that can wear a diamond necklace everyday!

boardwalk empire

I am super excited about the start of Season 2 of Boardwalk Empire in September. The show is visually stunning to say the least! I found this old Vanity Fair photo shoot of the ladies of Boardwalk Empire and just got a little more excited for new episodes. Can't wait!

all in the details

Loving this necklace by Kiersten Crowley. The layered tiers make quite an impact while the small details maintain a pure simplicity. I love the organic hand wrought feel of each of Crowley's pieces.

the greatest wedding ring set EVER

Stumbled across these rings online. Artist Luke Jerram created both of these rings for his wife, Shelina. The top ring is his wife's engagement ring which is etched with a recorded message of Luke's actual proposal and can be played back on a miniature record player. The bottom ring is his wife's wedding band which projects family photographs when held up to a light source. How unbelievably heart felt!

gothic glamour

Oh, mama! Loving this ring by Cathy Waterman! I love how it combines the traditional with the unexpected. (No wonder it is sold out at Barneys!)
