Celebrity Engagement Rings

15 Jan

These leading ladies landed some stunning engagement rings. Congratulations to them all and I hope their men bring them as much happiness as their big rocks should. Hopefully we’ll get some better looks tomorrow night at the Golden Globes.

Reece Witherspoon: Ashoka (62 facets with rounded corners) by William Golberg, 4 carats, pave band

Natalie Portman: Round, pave halo and band

Ginnifer Goodwin: Square, 2.5 carats, channel set diamond shoulder stones

 

Happy 2011!

4 Jan

I apologize for my too long respite. It’s been a wonderful month of less computer time and more getting out of my comfort zone in the outdoors.

If you’re like me, you try to be a bit contemplative over the holidays. How about a better form of getting in shape this year? You know what they say…

Oh to Be Kate

18 Nov

More like Ode…she’s one lucky lady. Love the sold out Issa London dress. Love the ring. Love it all. I think this is a refreshing reminder that all of the leopard, serpents, chunky monkeys (just wanted to write that) and over-sized CZs  might be on their way out. Do I hear a new Frost Yourself collage a calling? It’s sure to be chock full of refined and timeless jewels fit for a Queen. Kabash on all that bad karma talk.

Since I’m a Halloween Baby…

In the whatever it’s worth department, I’d much rather frost my birthday suit with this October opal mosaic:

 

 

And not that creepy crawly bone cuff!

 

 

 

Dessert Party & Her Muse

4 Oct

I really enjoy Oh Joy!’s  this & that feature, and can’t help but offer my own (less-formatted) version today.

Wear your new Pomellato Tabou collection rings while eating rainbow pound cake on these Anthropologie Waxeeb Dessert Plates…for a Kate Spade-approved dinner party where the host coordinates with her china.

My Blood Runs Turquoise

18 Aug

I’m back from New Mexico with much to report. I had the color palette right…

…but was surprised by some other findings. There are even more galleries and more art there than I could have expected.

However, only a small sliver of the jewelry is not silver and turquoise. Woven and multicolored pieces that retailers like Urban Outfitters carry that look to be Santa Fe inspired are just that- a play on something that local artisans do not usually make.

Here are the most interesting necklaces I encountered that still incorporate blues and oranges but depart from traditional rectilinear styling (the second is from Casa Nova). They’ll pair great with a crisp white button down and jeans.
