Happy Stories From our customers

I own a pair of gold hoop earrings I’ve come to realize go well with just about every outfit I own. From a black tie event (where I paired them with a simple yellow dress) to jeans and a crisp white t-shirt (which I paired with a beer and a vegan hot dog at a recent BBQ). Once I realized those golden hoops go with just about anything, it took the guesswork out of many fashion choices.

But what makes jewelry versatile? Well, the answer is both personal and practical. Practically, a versatile piece of jewelry tends to be simple (like my hoops). Simple jewelry tends to match nicely with just about any outfit (whereas louder jewelry often needs a little more finessing).

From a personal standpoint, versatile jewelry should be a beloved item. Why? Because if you’re getting really dressed up, that jewelry is grounding. You know it, trust it. Its like a fashion friend. It dependably looks good on you. You know what to expect from it.

Below, a solid example of versatile jewelry: the eternally fashionable stud earrings:

First, let’s define a sheath dress: a sheath dress is generally a form fitting, streamlined dress that hits at or above the knee. (This is different than a shift dress, which hangs from the shoulders, providing more room through the bust, waist and hips.)

But what jewelry pairs nicely with your favorite sheath dress? This video provides some fashionably wise advice!

A recent New York Post article details the various ways that men discuss the cost of their wives’ engagement rings.

Interestingly, they usually fall into three categories: those who “never tell”, those who underestimate and/or exaggerate the cost of the ring and (of course) those who tell the truth.

“[Some] people truly believe that the more money you spend on the engagement ring, the more you love someone,” says Justin Insalaco, the founder of Legemdary, a site that connects diamond sellers with potential buyers and encourages underbidding.

So is there any hard and fast rules when relaying this kind of delicate information to your significant other post-engagement?

Well, we’d like to say honesty is always the best policy. But we often hear from clients who like to keep the final cost a secret. Which we can completely appreciate. This keeps the focus on the beauty and integrity of the ring rather than the nuts-and-bolts cost of it.

Plus…who doesn’t like a little mystery, right?
