Wow, It’s Been a While
10 OctThanks for checking back in!
I’ll spare you excuses about what I’ve been up, but, trust me, it’s been one hell of a ride lately (all good things- I’m a Mrs.). If nothing else, I’d like to bring you what excites me in jewelry again via daily pictures. If you do miss the commentary, make sure to holler: heyfrostthis@gmail.com
Jewelry Still Lifes
20 JunIncreasingly, I’ve been coming across jewels photographed in funny places. Rather than being shot on the body, mannequin, bust or other human-resembling form, they’re positioned against other objects to comprise still life compositions.
Any jewelry stylists out there to chime in? Is jewelry staging the new styling?
Erstwhile Jewelry Company out of NYC has a knack for placing vintage baubles just so on photographs that harken back to earlier decades. It’s not surprising that the company (family business) loves story telling since it dates back 1887 Odessa, Russia.
Their blog is just as diverse and history-rich as their wares, so check it out when you’re in the mood for a tad bit more than the jewelry porn we’ve come to expect from flash sale sites and other e-commerce destinations.
Embarcadero Breezes
12 JunHaving grown up in the Ocean State, I was always 20 minutes away from the ocean. Now I’m fortunate enough to be one block away from the Bay and breezes into the Pacific.
It could only be better if temps passed 60.
Until then, I’ll be dreaming of warm rays and a bright palette…
On the Hunt: Wedding Bands
4 JunSo I’m looking for some pretty special wedding bands and just stumbled across these guys. Typerings from Amsterdam is clearly taking a page from the Gemvara playbook and I like it a lot.
The best feature is being able to upload your own font. Perhaps match your wedding invitation? His stationary? His handwriting?
They’re advertising free shipping through July 13th. Now only if they offered thinner bands in rose gold…

Drop Earring Jungle
23 JanSeems like everyone I know is choosing winter wonderland vacations to don their new faux fur vests this year (yes, all of you at Alt & Sundance…so jealous). Lately, my mind has been wandering to warmer destinations though. I love the cold when it’s accompanied by apres ski and fireside buffets, but not when a real chill hits Austin. Something about the city and hot chocolate just isn’t right…so I had to take myself away with this mashup of earrings.

Celebrity Engagement Rings
15 JanThese 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.
