…the square! So, a few weeks prior to my birthday I asked everyone if I should go with the round or square shaped ring from Zoë Chicco’s Spike Collection. I initially was going to go with the round–but then I thought it would be fun to ask everyone’s opinion.
Thanks to many great comments and opinions, I ended up choosing the square! I am very happy with this choice, I love my ring! I also am glad that I chose a Matte finish rather than a Polished finish. Not too many jewelry pieces have a matte finish, which makes it even more unique. The onyx was a no-brainer for me–it is such a striking color against the yellow gold.
Now that I look in both my closet and jewelry box, I am realizing an overwhelming abundance of black. Didn’t even mean for this to happen either…I think the next piece of jewelry I am going to purchase is going to be bright and vibrant!
{inquiries about the specifics on any jewelry items I’m wearing, feel free to leave a comment, I will answer your questions}

I love a matte finish. I use one about 95% of the time!

What is that red bracelet? I want one!

Hey Lee, I made it using the same red silk cord I use to make the Gem Gossip Charity Bracelet, but I added a diamond cross charm and an Italian horn charm given to me from my dad. I love the whole charm bracelet deal, I just never was a fan of a ton of charms soldered onto a gold bracelet–I like being able to change out the charms, mix and match, wear them on necklaces one day, then on a bracelet the next.
If you want one like mine, I can make you one! I can use charms you send me or I can get you some myself. Just email me!
