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).

I love the star ring! I just sent the link to my husband. 🙂 I suggested that the ring would be a great Lunar New Year’s gift. (He’s a Valentine’s Day hater, so I devised that sneaky plan last year in order to avoid bickering.) When your love language is gifts and his is not, one must get creative! And the restaurants aren’t crowded on Lunar New Year’s in East Texas the way they are on Valentine’s Day.
Oooh, nice!! I love that: it’s always more fun to make your own tradition than just go along with everyone else’s. Good luck with the ring!! I hope to see a photo of it on your finger in a few weeks 😉
<3 Star Motifs!! They're one of my favorites. As much as I long to be a 'girly-girl', I'm just not that esthetic (even tho' I adore many type of jewelry like that). I know I'd actually *wear* star motif jewelry.
It’s such a good design! Whimsical without being girly, like you said. I bought this recently (elsewhere, on sale) and I’m obsessed with it: http://www.shopbop.com/super-star-necklace-gorjana/vp/v=1/845524441795136.htm?ef_id=UZbSUQAABDBDEGcy%3A20150120021619%3As&s_kwcid=AL!3510!3!{creative}!{matchtype}!{placement}!{network}!!{keyword}&extid=SE_froogle_USA
