Baubles, Bling and Curious Things

Every art form solidifies the concept that beauty is subjective.  Depending upon individual preferences, emotions and experiences… what one finds ordinary, another will deem it extraordinary.  As cliché as it sounds, beauty IS in the eye of the beholder.  This edition of the blog was born from that very thing.  

I am absolutely enchanted by these earrings – totally head-over-heels for them.  Everything about them appeals to me.  Exquisitely-shaped, these four-petaled flowers are made entirely of 18-karat yellow gold.  Artfully sculpted, the edges and tips of the petals feature a lovely beaded texture that whispers quality and elegance.  

Glowing from within those beaded golden borders, is the most delicious cobalt blue enamel.  This vivid hue is absolutely electric and I can only describe it as crushed blueberries.  Nestled deep between the four petals is a cluster of round brilliant diamonds… six in each earring.  Adding brilliance, these sparklers complete the look.  Priced at $2,960.00 – there’s no doubt that I love them.  

But as I said – beauty is subjective.  The very thing that makes my heart go pitter-patter may very well make you say “Absolutely not!”  And so… I have to ask.  Are these earrings hot?  Or not?
