Treat yourself: seeing stars under $275.

January 16, 2015

I’ve been really into stars as a motif lately. They’re whimsical, geometrically appealing, and sort of romantic, with their implications of wishes and far away places.

Today’s Treat Yourself is going to be all about star-shaped pieces that make me go starry-eyed, all for under $275.

Kenneth Jay Lane elongated star earrings ($231).

Elizabeth and James Northern Star ring with white topaz; at Stone and Strand ($95).

Ben-Amun asymmetrical star dangle earrings with Swarovski crystal detailing ($260).

And a bonus, because they’re too beautiful to resist sharing even though (***DANGER***DANGER***) they’re not remotely within the budget:

Kismet by Milka Heroine Long Star earrings with diamonds in rose gold ($1,880).

Peek-a-boo diamonds and pearls by n + a New York.

December 15, 2014

I was browsing Instagram the other day when this sleek ring from n + a New York stopped me in my tracks:

A whisper of gold, a peep of diamond; this lovely swirling piece would be a perfect addition to any outfit.

Here’s an earring interpretation of the same design. Since they’re straight spikes, these feel a little bolder, a little more aggressive than the ring version. Still beautiful.

The diamonds in n + a New York ring aren’t really very “peek-a-boo,” but it was too pretty not to include. Perfect for stacking.

And finally: how lovely are these pearl earrings? I love the earthy, organic feel of the rough gold cradling the pearls. What a wonderful every-day piece.

All of these beauties are currently for sale at n + a New York’s website. Most are available at different price points in sterling silver, as well. All images and info via n+ a New York.
