Abigail Percy Earrings

Wednesday, September 26, 2007

Straightforward beauty.

Smokey Quartz Briolette - Earrings…, $24
Abigail Percy

Aventurine Earrings…, $30
Abigail Percy
Fun fact: if a gemstone exhibits Aventurine-like qualities, it is said to demonstrate aventurescence. I love that.
Extra party bonus fun fact: the name Aventurine comes from the Italian “a ventura,” or “by chance.” (Same link as above.)
Tack så mycket, Smosch : )

September Domino & Blueprint Jewelry Round-Up

Thursday, September 20, 2007

Aside from the occasional mid-pedicure peek, I don’t read fashion magazines. I almost said “women’s magazines,” but I wanted to be a little more selective with my genre-dissing.
Plus, saying I don’t read “women’s magazines” would be disingenuous, as there are a handful of home decorating pubs (as we say in tha biz) that I look [...]

Nifty Greek Bracelet by Mollie Dash

Sunday, September 16, 2007

Mollie Dash has a lovely website and blog. I love that the website’s home page incorporates not just images of her jewelry, but also architectural details — a shadowed chandelier, letters on the facade of a building — that speak to her aesthetic.
Here’s one of my favorite pieces currently for sale.
