As I’ve mentioned before, I used to be a bit of a jewelry fiend (read: I piled it on all at once like there was no tomorrow). But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gradually become aware of this thing called subtlety. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Turns out, one mindblowingly entrancing bauble is far superior to an overflowing treasure chest bursting out out of the seams of your human costume.
It’s quality versus quantity, friends. Nuance versus exaggeration. But that doesn’t mean that your statement piece need be simple. Why not quench your desire to overindulge with just one dazzler?
It’s like ordering a single luxurious piece of velvety macadamia nut cheesecake instead of drunkenly gorging yourself on three bags of leftover Halloween candy and waking up on the living room floor at 5am under a blanket of crumpled shame wrappers with rainbow all over your face.
Um.
My point is, look at this jewelry!
Gemstones win the subtle/striking vote because they manage to accomplish MISSION:SHMANCY without looking fake. I want to pair those genuine emerald earrings with a strapless dress to show off my also not fake décolletage.
Lovely lady lumps indeed!
I love jewelry, but since I travel a lot I don’t buy much expensive stuff anymore as I don’t want to travel with it. But if you go on a holiday, India is a great place to buy beautiful jewelry with real gems.

I really like this kind of jewelry, the only problem for me is the cost if you want the real stuff. Besides of that, it is so beautiful!

Fabulous pieces! Gemstones are making a comeback this year in fashion.
I too really love stone jewelry. But as mentioned in one of the comments I am also concerned about the cost. Your collection is really lovely. I envy you! I am saving some money to buy a stone jewelry in the near future. Hope I can get the green shade earrings like yours.
