feminine design

Probably one of the most feminine ring collections I have seen. This ring by Rust Wedding has all the perfect embellishments for an ultra feminine ring... delicate setting, dainty band, elegant scrollwork and floral design. And even better yet, it's all made by hand!

perfect teardrop

Made this simple piece last night. (I just can't get enough of mixing gold and oxidized silver!) 20 gauge wire is steadily becoming one of my favorite materials. It's the perfect size for delicate pendants, like above, and dainty rings.

P.S. Happy first day of Fall!!! Oh how I love this season! Crisp air, cozy scarves, pumpkin flavored baked goods, changing leaves, apple cider... there are just so many wonderful things about this marvelous season!

Villette on facebook

Did you know that Villette Jewelry is on Facebook? It's a great way to keep up with new happenings and to spread the love for Villette Jewelry.

weekend plans

Fall is in the air! I plan to enjoy the weather and spend some quality time outside on Saturday but, as for Sunday, I plan to wrap myself in a cozy blanket with a hot cup of tea and catch up on Downton Abbey. A very delightful prospect! Have a fun-filled fall weekend!

long vintage necklaces

I have a plain dress I need to liven up and I think a long vintage chain is exactly what I need... just a little bit flapper-esque and fun. I love the movement of these long chains and the option of doubling up the necklace for a greater impact. (All found on Ruby Lane.)

100 years of fashion

Saw this on A Cup of Jo and had to repost. It is amazing!

the beauty of a good frame

I love these frame-set earrings by Pippa Small (available at Barney's). One, rutilated quartz is one of my favorite stones. Two, I am loving the simplicity and perfection of frame-set stones. I have a feeling these earrings would make many of my other earrings jealous!

sculptural settings

The organic settings of Ken + Dana Designs are unbelieveable. Their sculptural approach to design is breathtaking and ensures a one of a kind, unique ring.
