Pick of the Week – Volume 92

Baubles, Bling and Discounted Things

The holiday season is upon us; many begin their own Christmas celebrations on the 1st of November.  The festivities are sure to include parties and gift-giving.  Today’s Pick of the Week would be ideal for either or both of those two things.  

Made of 18-karat white gold, measuring more than three inches in length and extending nearly to the shoulder – these are true statement earrings.  They’re ostentatious, outrageous and audacious.  Many would not dare wear something so bold… but a select few would not only don them for every momentous occasion but also for no occasion at all.  In fact, if you’re not careful, these are the very kind of earrings that can end up wearing you instead of the other way around.  Confidence and a lot of swagger is required.

A kaleidoscope of pretty pastels, the earrings contain twelve pale blue aquamarines, ten soft pink morganite gems, two luscious South Sea pearls and two-hundred-forty round brilliant diamonds.  Set in pavè fashion, these sparklers offer 7.83 carats of twinkling brilliance.  These show-stoppers were listed on our site for a cool $15K.  Today, we’re offering them at a special holiday price of $11,800.00.  If the only thing that outshines these earrings is a healthy ego – hop over to our site and make them yours.

Pick of the Week – Volume 90

Baubles, Bling and Discounted Things

Sometimes, the best things have a little bit of mystery.  Today’s featured Pick of the Week is one of those things.  These vintage earrings bridge the gap between formal and fun.    Made from the unique color combination of black, white and purple, they’re distinct.  Paired with your favorite flares and long tunic sweater, these earrings could be mistaken for costume.  There are definitely times when having your accessories perceived as imitation is a definite advantage.  

In reality, these 2.5-inch-long beauties are anything but costume.  Made entirely of platinum, each earring is made up of eight bezel-set individual stones.  Each link is jointed, allowing them to dance with every move you make.  Starting at the top are a matched pair of oval amethyst stones that have a combined weight of 4.00 carats.  Centered at the base of this gem is a small round diamond that connects to an oblong bar of black onyx.  Situated beneath the onyx are a pair of clear rectangular rock crystal quartz stones.  The four stones offer 8.00 carats of simple elegance, and serve as a breath between the deeply saturated tones of the amethyst and onyx.  Two additional diamonds are next, each one anchored to the middle of the piece of quartz above it.  Finally, a large pear-shaped amethyst rounds out the bottom.  Together, these two vibrant violet gems have a weight of 8.00 carats.  If you were keeping track, there are six European cut diamonds that sing with .25 carat of scintillating sparkle.  Whew.  That’s quite a roster.

These are the kind of earrings that can be worn alone.  Offering physical size, they make a statement.  It’s up to you whether to decide if you’re going to amp them up or downplay them.  Wear them antiquing and thrifting during the day.  Later, spice up date night by showcasing them with a bodycon deep-V top and those jeans that somehow manage to both look and feel good.  It’s all about balance, and these vintage earrings have that in spades.  Previously offered for $4,350, we are dropping the price to just $3,300.00.  You need these in your life.  ♥

Joe’s Special Box Luxury Edition – Volume 20

Joden Girl

Baubles, Bling and A Collector’s Things

Some words just sound luxurious…  expensive even.  Extravagance drips from each syllable.  Practically screaming sumptuous grandeur is one of my personal favorites… chandelier.  This French term shimmers with lavish opulence.  Though originally coined to describe an elaborate candelabra that is suspended from the ceiling, the word chandelier was later used to define a particularly grandiose style of earrings.  Simply put, chandelier earrings are characterized by several drops hanging from a singular central point. 

Recently acquired, these upscale earrings were created by Santa Fe goldsmith, Luna Felix (peep the signature on the back).  She specializes in the ancient art of granulation, an incredibly precise process in which tiny beads of gold are used to create intricate designs.  Luna Felix works exclusively in high karat gold; these modern beauties were crafted from a stunning combination of 18 and 22-karat yellow gold.  Measuring more than 3.5 inches from top to bottom, these are the very definition of statement earrings.  

Reminiscent of banana bunches growing on a tree, these sumptuous chandeliers showcase more than thirty curled leaves in a gloriously three-dimensional array.  Dangling throughout the entire bottom half of the earrings are sixty-two cultured pearls.  Measuring anywhere from one to nine millimeters, these gems of the sea are well-matched, softening the vibe of the earrings. 

Substantial in both look and feel, these earrings are not for the faint of heart.  These are not earrings that you’ll put on and forget you’re wearing them.  The sheer weight pulls the earlobe down while the pearls brush against the neck.  Weighing 44.6 pennyweight (more than two ounces), Luna Felix designed these showstoppers for true jewelry lovers.  Bringing new meaning to the phrase “beauty is pain”, these chandelier earrings are priced at $5,750.00 and are the latest edition to our estate department.  Add a touch of luxury to your life today.
