Day 29 - Favorite opaque gems

#gemgossipchallenge

▪️I love opaque gemstones - so much so that when I had the opportunity to design a line of jewelry for QVC I made it entirely with opaque gems. I have a lot in my personal collection, so here are my favorites!

Day 27 - Designer pieces

#gemgossipchallenge

▪️So much talent in the jewelry industry - it is such an honor to watch each designer’s growth & evolution over the last 15 years since starting Gem Gossip. I’m lucky to own these pieces - I tried pulling every designer piece from my collection but I know I’m missing some. Also will try to tag as many as I possibly can. 😁

Day 25 - Animal jewels

#gemgossipchallenge

▪️ Give me a whole animal kingdom of jewels - I love when animals are depicted in jewelry. I have 3 snake rings, a panther bracelet & ring, a beaver charm, a beetle brooch, Scorpion charm, chihuahua charm…probably more 😵‍💫 after this challenge, I need to clean up & reorganize 😆

Day 24 - Cocktail rings

#gemgossipchallenge

▪️I love everything that classifies a ring as a cocktail ring - large, eye-catching, a symbol of opposition to Prohibition, rebellious and fun. Big rings make up most of my ring collection, so I picked 3 that I haven’t shown yet during the challenge.

Day 23 - Emeralds

#gemgossipchallenge

▪️I never really liked emeralds until my May baby was born and once I got a few, their allure has me smitten. Emeralds are truly enchanting and if you don’t have any in your collection, I highly recommend. 😁

Day 22 - Engraved pieces

#gemgossipchallenge

▪️Each day I think “this is my favorite category” 😆 but seriously, a beautiful engraving will forever be one of my weaknesses. I’ve tagged where all these came from - the oval charms were once cufflinks and I had them engraved by @marketsquarejewelers - also love my newest ring from @charlieandmarcelle that features both boys’ names with a diamond in the middle 🥹

Day 21 - Favorite pinky ring

#gemgossipchallenge

▪️ The pinky ring - a fun addition to any ring situation. I like to recommend a pinky ring if you don’t have one and I make sure to tell people who’ve never worn one that it takes a couple of weeks to get used to wearing a ring on your pinky…but after that, it’s like it’s not even there. Some of my favorite styles to wear on the pinky are signets, baby rings as midis, chunky gold, or a fun gemstone piece.

Day 20 - Go-to studs

#gemgossipchallenge

▪️ Stud earrings are mostly what I’ve been wearing daily and these are usually my line-up I choose from. I’ve had these tiny dangle crosses from @rosssimons since maybe 2007 and found another pair in a scrap pile one time, which is why I have two pairs. I also believe you can’t go wrong with a gold ball. Lastly, a beautiful pair of gemstone studs to bring out the color of your eyes is all you need!
