My gift to myself from .....Elizabeth & James.
Ok, so I've been working hard and the Holidays are coming....I think I deserve to get myself a little something nice. I normally don't overspend and if I don't have the money in my bank account, I don't use my credit card! However, I decided instead of a handbag which I blogged about here, I would treat myself to this 'Elizabeth and James' Knuckle ring. It was designed by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen (yes, those twins), but those two are quite the fashion icons. I LOVE their jewelry line and this ring was no exception. It retails for $198 in sterling silver & $155 in a golden color, and was supposedly modeled after a vintage piece costing thousands of dollars! A stylist told me once that if you buy casual key pieces that go with any outfit, you can enjoy those items more often. Accessories are perfect key items to do this with! I first saw the E & J ring on the Fashion Toast blog and I love this girl's style!! Here she is below wearing the ring. AND yes, it is sterling silver!

ReplyDeleteI really admire you jennifer --- I just started a small business and I hope to one day be as successful as you are! --- I'm learning so much each day and running a business is not an easy thing... specially when I'm still working full time during the day... I feel exhausted all the time!!!... but I wouldn't change a thing, this journey have been very fulfilling!

your blog is really fantastic.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this ring! I am in Vegas too...do you have a store in town or is it just on etsy?
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I'm so glad you posted those pics because I was wondering why it was one size fits all...I thought it might have so cheap adjustable back but that looks pretty sturdy. I love it!

Oooh I forgot I have one of these rings I bought several years ago, I need to dust that baby off. They are a bit awkward to wear, but they are pretty badassical.
ReplyDeletetoo cool!! i love it...and yes, that girl sure has great style - its so LA isnt it?
ReplyDeleteI love it! looks great on you :)
ReplyDeleteHiya Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI wish I had an actual storefront...but I only sell on ETSY and via my online shop:

Thanks! : )
Hey Amber,
ReplyDeleteYes I snapped a photo of the back of the ring so people can see that its not cheap...it is pretty sturdy and comfortable...and it adjusts to your finger size quite well!
ERIN, THANK YOU!!!! that Union Jack Tapestry from UO is beautiful and affordable. : )
ReplyDeletei have one that is very similar...
ReplyDeleteI will post a pic asap
hey there!
ReplyDeleteI have one that is similar, bought it in chicago, can send you a pic.
You paid $200 for this? Serious? Is it even Sterling? You can get that for less then $10 on St. Marks in NY. Your manicure is worth more.
ReplyDeleteI did pay $200... I don't normally buy pricey items for myself...but this was a gift to MYSELF for the all the hard work I've done wth my biz and for the Holidays!! : ) AND yes it is sterling silver, of course.
ReplyDelete: )))))))
p.s. I LIVED in NYC for years and I know St. marks pretty well...and I don't recall seeing a knuckle ring like this one...but thanks. : P
ReplyDeletewonderful present from you to you
ReplyDeleteI love love this ring, it's almost a bit dangerous lol.
ReplyDeleteOn an unrelated note, you have very graceful hands :)
FYI:In Brooklyn,you can find those rings from just about any Muslim street vendor for $15-$25.If they don't have it,they'll gladly order one for you.I used to own one some years ago,then my kids lost it but it was easy to get another.A great place is this small jewelry store called Casbah on Nevins Street (between Atlantic and State Sts.) in Brooklyn.His jewelry is BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's all good Bohemmia..but it would cost me about $350 for a ticket to Nyc + the ring price...so thats more than what I paid for..hmmm
ReplyDeleteThanks anyhow : ) Maybe next time Im in NYC will go by there.
Beautiful post :)
