Edit
I have a FASCINATION with interesting jewelry. One in particular that I love is jewelry with a claw, a tooth or something similar. Below is a collection of some I may be wearing more of this new year.... unfortunately, I don't own any of these (YET) but will soon! I've always been drawn to this STYLE because of it's unique and raw looking quality.
I'm NOT really a DIAMONDS kind of gal, with the exception of my wedding ring, I don't wear a lot of shiny BLING. I pretty much only wear necklaces, bracelets & rings....no earrings. I think I only own 2 pairs, not sure why.... Anyway, this STYLE is super HOT right now!
What's your favorite style of jewelry? Do you like bold pieces, pearls, diamonds, unique pieces like these or simple silver & gold?

I love gold so I'm drawn to the necklace by Yanessa B. For the most part my jewelry routine consists of my wedding ring, a pair of earrings and a necklace. I love gold studs and my name plate gold necklace ... swear it's not ghetto looking lol.
ReplyDeleteI love the turquoise inlay in the 1st photo. I looked for one like that a few years back, but I'm pretty sure a celebrity had worn one, making the prices skyrocket at the time!
ReplyDeletePearls, for me. Definitely. But, I like to make my own (: They're more versatile than most people think. Various shapes, sizes, and dying makes the color choices endless ^_^
I also like vintage pieces found in antique stores, like this one:

They're always so unique (:
Cheers from Portland, Oregon! Love your blog!

While I am totally a diamonds girl ;) I do love pieces like this that are more rough and interesting!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same turquoise horn but in silver. I bought it in Lisbon, Portugal, at an international artisan´s fair we have every year.It´s great for Summer. I really like the one from Armelle´s shop as well, a bit more classy.
I have been a big fan of your blog and decided to create my own blog (only 1 week old heheh). You can check it out at www.blogdaclauzinha.blogspot.com
It would be great to hear your opinion.Wish you all the best and many great posts.

Tengo uno muy parecido al de la segunda foto, hace mucho tiempo que no me lo pongo. ¡Gracias por recordármelo!
ReplyDeleteUn beso!

I adore the Prarie Oats necklace - definitely my Dave from the ones you posted! As far as my jewelry style I'm kind of all over the place, but I do love to mix metals and layer necklaces. It's not uncommon for me to wear an expensive piece paired with something I purchased from Forever 21...really it's all how you style it! Oh and I gasped when you said you don't wear earrings...I never leave home without them, lol!!!!
ReplyDeleteOooh! I love all of those! Especially the turquoise and gold pieces! I definitely thinking adding a statement necklace like that can MAKE an outfit!! LOVE.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a necklace girl. I do wear one ring everyday, but I hardly ever wear bracelets and I only occasionally wear earrings.
ReplyDeleteLove the one by Yanessa B. I'm a fan of simple baubles and pendants. But if the occasion is right, I do love a bold statement piece
ReplyDelete- xo, Vanessa Elizabeth
I love the one by Yanessa!!
ReplyDeletei love the yanessa b. necklace! same here, I love accessories but not a bling bling girl either.
ReplyDeleteyou'll probably like the collection from blanca monros gomez, i wrote a little about the line on my blog: http://placebolife.blogspot.com/2010/12/seeds-of-gold-and-diamonds.html
The turquoise necklace and the very last one stand out for me. Very chic.
ReplyDeletethis is totally my style too! I love jewelry that is different and unique and even natural looking. I love wearing jewelry that is almost like a conversation piece. and these definitely are!
ReplyDeletelove these! i have to admit i am a diamonds kinda gal...can't get enough!
ReplyDeletexo,

Hi! Love your blog! If you like these, check out Elizabeth bell jewelry. It is my friend Beth and she was featured on the cover of instyle with gweneth paltry wearing her claw jewelry. Very beautiful stuff!
ReplyDeleteI aim to buy a piece of jewelry on every trip I go on, even if it's costume. I especially collect initial necklaces.

this morning i was cleaning out my jewelry box and came across a beaded horn necklace i've had for years and have never worn. i'm gonna take a pic and forward it to you. if you like it -it's yours. i'm a white gold diamond chick but have been digging colorful chunky resin rings as of late.
ReplyDeleteBEAUYTY BY VEDA: wow, id love to see, thank you so much! :)))
ReplyDeleteSOUTH LOOP SOCIAL LIGHT:
ReplyDeleteHa! Your collection is a bit similar to mine minus the earrings. So funny, I love name plate necklaces...but i never liked them when they were really HUGE back in the 80's. I preferred the name plate belt LOL.
I think Carrie Bradshaw made the name plate less ghetto after wearing it with so many glamorous looking outfits on SEX and the CITY.
BROOKE HALL: thanks will take a look!
ReplyDeleteLove this shape! The Yanessa B. is classic with a bit of edge — love that! Kenneth Jay Lane makes gorgeous coral and turquoise versions that you can find on eBay. I'm obsessed! Love your taste and sending you a picture of my "I love you blogs and coffee" print hanging above my bureau soon!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these horns! I have never seen the blue one before! Amazing! We have been crazed with them in our collection! www.whitemothjewelry.com
ReplyDeleteJen, I share your love of horn pendants. Thanks so much for including my BrooklynThread necklace!
ReplyDeleteYou truly rock!

I love your new banner. It just makes me think when I first started following your blog nearly 2 years ago!!! You've come a long way. Congrats. Very Random. Very Deserved.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful but I think the first and last ones are my personal favourites.

hey jen, i sent pic via twitter @vedabruce. hopefully you were able to view it. let me know where to mail it. take care!
ReplyDeleteLove all of these, especially the first two! My jewelry interests change all the time. I always wear a ring my Mum gave me and two leather/satin bracelets. I used to layer lots of necklaces but not lately. And I'll sometimes wear heaps of rings or bracelets depending on my mood I suppose!
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm an Aries the Diamond is my birthstone, I'm a diamonds gal all the way! (unfortunately I only have one 'real' diamond and that's in my wedding ring but I do love the bling). I've always been drawn to delicate pieces but since I recently became a Stella & Dot Stylist I'm getting aquainted with, and loving, other styles of jewelry. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting Jewelry Choices Jen! Love your taste.

I love it all! Like you I don't really wear Diamonds, but I don't have anywhere that fancy where I need to be wearing any. Give me something unique and I'm more than happy.
ReplyDeleteI love wearing horns too! In Italy, these horns are a sign of goodluck and way to ward off the "mal occhio" or evil eye. It is a superstition that my mother really believes. I have a simple gold one from when I was a baby.
ReplyDeleteForza Italia!
