I really like the look of Dior’s tarnish gold “Antiquated” ring, but I’ve never worn a ring with little hanging baubles like it before:

I’d love to hear from you guys - have you ever worn a ring with it’s own charms before?
Do they get caught on things?
Are they noisy?
Or is it too fabulous to resist :-)

If you liked yesterday’s pick for Kendra Scott’s “Statement” necklace, you’ll love her matching set of faceted quartz chandelier earrings too:

Unfortunately, it looks like Nordstrom only has the “Beach” color in stock right now - I’d keep on checking the website to see if the other ones will be brought back :-)

I love the Art Deco stylings of this “Statement” necklace by Kendra Scott:

It’s created with 14k gold-filled wire, faceted blue quartz, yellow quartz & cognac quartz - and is available in two different colors, “Lagoon”, shown above and “Beach”:

Not the necklace for flip-flops and jeans… but for the right occasion - spectacular!

I’ve written about Simone Walsh’s jewelry on my other blog before, but I had to share this lovely necklace with you:

It’s her “Japanese Etch Butterfly” pendant - each one is individually hand-etched and finished! I love the elegance and simplicity of the design - it doesn’t need a big, fancy chain to set it off, it’s clean and simple.

I’ve fallen in love with Farrah Dragon’s line of eco-friendly sterling silver & gold jewelry!
The materials used to create the jewelry are all sourced from Earth-friendly mining cooperatives or are created from 100% recycled metal. But the jewelry itself is what’s captivated me - the pieces look like they’re grown - not made.
See for yourself…

I think these thin damask resin bangle bracelets from Andrew Hamilton Crawford are gorgeous! The resin is wrapped with a thin layer of sterling silver to create the “damask” effect - and even better, they come in lots of different colors like amber:

Sky blue:

Cream:

And lots more!

Layered necklaces are still a hot trend for fall - and I especially like Urban Posh’s take on them. Their collection has a slightly uneven, off-kilter look that I think is a great touch. The necklaces and earrings are made from gold vermeil (gold-plated sterling silver).
There aren’t individual links to the jewelry pieces I’ve selected, so I’ve put in links to the necklace and earring pages - just find the name of the item and click on it for more information.
Here are some of my favorite picks:
“Avery” necklace:

And if you’re looking for matching earrings, there are the “Reflection Pool” earrings with a single hoop:

Or if you’d prefer a little more metal, the double-hoop “Lily Pad” earrings:

It’s that time of the week again - let’s take a stroll through my favorite indie jewelry site!
My pick for this week is the “Lola” earrings, from designer Whatever Wave You’re On:

They’re knitted from sterling silver wire (yes, the same kind of knitting as sweaters!) and accented with faceted peridot & aquamarine briolettes & rondels.
