Ring Scene at Delamina

I found four perfect rings, to be worn at the same time, on two hands, all in one place!  That would be Delamina.  I like picking out ring combinations, whether its mixing new with vintage, or white gold with yellow gold, you can't go wrong.  It depends on your style; go with your gut!  I would wear these rings in this order:   The bold Peruvian opal and matte 18k gold looks like you've acquired this on some extensive travels. Love the star set diamonds, creates even more of an eclectic feel. Price: $3875, designed by Susan Foster, at Delamina. Don't be afraid to mix white and yellow metal. This platinum filigree ring looks like it should have been worn in the 20s. It is actually brand new and features an amazing moonstone. Price: $5000 and is eligible for $500 Delamina Dollars off the price, for more info click here. So bold, and the pear-shape is the best cut for this sort of ring. That stone is a chalcedony, which is the prettiest powder blue you'll ever lay eyes on. Done in 18k yellow gold and designed by Dov Pedah. Price: $3000 at Delamina. A band of black diamonds is all you need next to 31 carats of chalcedony! This beautiful band is done in 18k yellow gold and is designed by Ian Saude. Price: $2105 at Delamina.

Jewelry Style Inspiration: Princess Diana

Totally 1980s, but I love this look Princess Diana is sporting.  The double watches needs to become popular, she makes it look so elegant.  Princess Diana has a style so unique, without looking like she is trying too hard.  She is seen here wearing a gold woven bracelet, which was a popular 80s trend.  Her infamous sapphire engagement ring is on her ring finger, which has 14 diamonds surrounding the oval blue stone.  On her right hand she is wearing a diamond eternity band and a pinky ring which may be a plain gold band or a signet ring.

Giveaway: Brazilets Wish Bracelet

We are giving away a Brazilet Wish Bracelet this week in honor of giving back, and helping to protect the Amazon in Brazil! Sales of Brazilets help preserve the Amazon and have been on the rise in popularity. Although these bracelets have been around for 200 years in Brazil, they have only recently been a hit here in the United States. Celebrities like Lauren Conrad and magazines like US Weekly & Star have promoted these bracelets. Brazilets are worn fashionably throughout Latin America yet retain spiritual significance as they help grant wishes to all who wear them. Brazilets are worn by wrapping the wrist and tying three knots for three wishes; when the material wears down and the Brazilets fall off naturally, it is believed that the three wishes will come true. In order to qualify to win, leave a comment which includes your email address and answer this question: What is your most coveted piece of jewelry you own? You can double your chances by doing the same on Twitter! Good luck, winner will be announced in a week! Read More

Obsessions

April showers brought May flowers

Just a little spring time inspiration. The Nashville area has been anything but springlike. Oh well... Beautiful 1920s platinum and diamond ring. The flower motif is elegant and done in a non-trendy way. The total carat weight is 1.2 carats! From Israel Rose and priced at $1650. 18 carats of aquamarine! From the 1950s done in 18k yellow gold, I can't imagine how eye-catching this bracelet would look like on. The mesh-iness of the entire piece makes it that much more unique. From Israel Rose, priced at $3500. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkSq2Zn2XoY] Read More
