A lady with a love for literature and shiny things discusses books & bling.
These earrings are stunning. I think the shape is elegant and enticing and color combination is to-die-for. I would wear these earrings all night long. That’s 50 carats of aquamarines right there, with 2.50 carats of diamonds. They’re made in classic Art Deco style, but they’re contemporary. Let’s take a look:

Posting a diamond ring in honor of the fact that a very good friend of mine is getting married today! This is a scheduled post, because I am at (and in) the wedding. Yay!
This diamond bombé ring is pure fun. It looks like more of a right-hander than an engagement ring to me, although maybe that’s just because I want to buy it for myself. The central stone is an is an 0.85 carat old-European cut diamond. Bonhams doesn’t give any info about the smaller stones. I think this ring is so fun and exuberant. Some diamond rings take themselves so seriously (and they should) but this one is just like “Hey, I’m sparkly!”
This ring was listed in Bonhams Salon Jewelry auction on 24 Sep 2012. All images and info are thanks to Bonhams.

Oh, Cartier. You make such fabulous things, whether they’re delicate, bold, or in-between. This one is not in-between. It is bold as bold can be.
This Cartier orchid ring – white gold, pink and purple sapphires, brilliant-cut diamonds – comes to us from Cartier’s Sortilège collection. It is designed to resemble an orchid, and I think the shape is stunning. It’s like a beautiful, carefully frozen explosion.
I’ll just say this: it would take one hell of a cocktail dress to stand up to this Cartier orchid ring. I think a simple, high-quality LBD or LWD would be the way to go. Or maybe a more colorful dress, like green or blue. You certainly wouldn’t have to worry about being noticed, with this on your finger.
