I’m in love

I didn’t know whether I should classify this ring as a right hand ring, or an engagement ring. So I decided to think of it as both. It’s good to be a princess & make your own rules. I almost wasn’t able to write this post because I was just staring at this ring thinking, “It wants to come to my house to live.”

I usually only gush over jewelry that is set in platinum or white gold. However, I really like the gold in this ring, it’s a great contrast to the alexandrite. The design is from Generations 1912. It also doesn’t hurt that there are 66 diamonds in this setting. This ring is the very definition of bling. I’m in love.

Everything that I was looking for

My idea was simple, I was going to make jewelry. I love jewelry & I love one of a kind pieces. So I rushed out to the store & spent way too much money on supplies. I was certain that I would make back all the money I spent because I would have all of this new jewelry. How hard could it be? The answer is it’s nearly impossible. A few hours later I was almost in tears, it was one of the most frustrating experiences of my life & one I hope to never repeat.

I gained a newfound respect for people that handcraft their jewelry. I was looking at Mod Jewelry Designs & was amazed at the selection. I am currently in love with a pair of coconut husk earrings. I love the idea of wearing something that is trendy & natural but at the same time, it is unique. How many people can say that their earrings are made from coconuts? Here are a few more things that I love about this shop:

1. The prices are really reasonable. Especially considering the fact that these are handcrafted pieces of jewelry.

2. Each piece is unique & made only once. In fact you can even request a certain color if you see a style that you love.

3. The photographs of the jewelry are really stunning. They really show off the jewelry & are different from anything I’ve seen before & I’ve seen a lot of jewelry.

4. The materials are all silverplated or sterling silver. A lot of the beads are semi precious gems.

This shop is everything that I was looking for when I wanted to make jewelry myself. However, it’s even more affordable & creative then what I could have done myself, & it’s a lot more fun!
