What I Bought at the Latest A.V. Max Sample Sale

I didn’t get my act together to post about A.V. Max’s recent sample sale in advance — but here’s what I got!

Everything above was between $5-$15. Insane.
How have you been?

Showstopping Spring Rings at Banana Republic

It’s vaguely annoying to have to ask a salesperson to take a $38 dollar ring out from a display case. But I’ve seen these guys in person, and they’re delicious. They only reason I didn’t buy one is because I couldn’t make up my mind: cherry, or pistachio?

Gorgeous Semi-Precious Gemstones at McFarland Designs

I saw this prenhite and sterling silver ring featured on Etsy’s homepage Sunday. McFarland Designs‘ store features many gorgeous semi-precious gemstones set in silver. If you’re into cocktail rings like I am — wow. Look at those facets!

The Rose Ring: Still Live and Kicking

Here’s a really pretty one I found in ERM Original’s shop on Etsy:

She uses a lot of semi-precious gemstones, including labradorite, one my faves. I also love this juicy red graduated bead necklace.

Max & Chloe: Very Pleased to Meet You

How could this site have eluded me for so long?
I’m not usually one to go for the bling-y stuff (much less the powderpuff pink stuff) but this ring made my knees weak.

Initial Ring Spotted on Famous ‘L’

Where can I get one?
All I’m turning up are these cheapies on GirlProps. (Not to mention the fact that I’d need to double-up to get both initials on one finger.)

JCrew’s Fall Accessories…S’wonderful!

September Domino & Blueprint Jewelry Round-Up

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 [...]

A.V. Max: What I Bought

I almost exclusively wear jewelry with gold settings. For that reason, I usually grab gold stuff at A.V. Max’s sample sales. This time I bought a couple pieces in silver.
I’m pretty anti-bracelet (for purely practical concerns, namely, how to type at the computer all day without going nutso due to clanging), but I like cuffs. [...]
