Oh, hey! It's #NationalPinkDay !! I'm a big fan of watery pinks and peachy-pinks. It's definitely a love it or hate it color. What say you?

Wow, you've been showing the coin pearl designs some love!! It's not really a surprise, they're like big shimmering moons of pearly goodness, right? I get the feeling I need to add more designs in coin shape!

Because flowers and pearls, what could be better?

Because flowers and pearls, what could be better? If you've hung out here long enough, you must have some love for them too! My love of pearls goes all the way back to childhood. How long have you loved pearls?⁠

Love pearls, but looking for something unexpected? This shape takes these delicate elements and creates the ultimate feminine earrings. Would you style these chandeliers?

It's getting warm outside, so let's keep it simple

It's getting warm outside, so let's keep it simple, yet pretty! The RENEE earrings are favorites in my rotation because they have some dangle but are so lightweight. They pair well with the HARMONY pendant, so your neck doesn't get lonely!

Last week some lucky ladies received the June earr

Last week some lucky ladies received the June earring subscription! Both the earrings and card are so fresh and feminine; perfectly June. There are just a few more days to get the June pair for yourself or your favorite lady. Aren't they just precious in all the right ways?!

Heading into the middle of the month of pearls! Let's chat more about pearl shapes with the potato. The name sounds kind of lumpy, bumpy but you'll never get any like that. Round and near-round in shape, i use the beautiful ones, like a true Irish lady, I know my potatoes! ⁠Do you like this shape?

Happy Sunday and a big congrats to those who got married this weekend!⁠
⁠
Irish Marriage Blessing ⁠
⁠
May God be with you & bless you, ⁠
May you see your children's children. ⁠
May you be poor in misfortunes⁠
and rich in blessings. ⁠
May you know nothing but happiness from this day forward.

Just a friendly reminder to add some shimmer befor

Just a friendly reminder to add some shimmer before you head out to celebrate this Saturday! It feels so good to be out celebrating graduations, parties or just heading to my favorite restaurants, but I do have to remind myself to get just a little more dressed up after so long in 'pandemic pants', haha!

Let's talk about jewelry sets! On trend or not - do we really care? I really don't! Buying a set doesn't mean always worn in a set and even if you do, it doesn't have to equal boring! ⁠

Choosing a unique shape, like the VIVIAN set offers, creates a fresh, yet timeless look. Lots of these set have been shipping out lately, making everyone from grads to new moms happy. Would a set work for you?

Since it's the month of pearls in midst of wedding

Since it's the month of pearls in midst of wedding season, let's keep on talking about the ways to spice up your pearl jewelry. If you're picking out jewelry for a wedding, selecting non-traditional shapes of pearls creates a more personalized style, like this look. Don't you think the combo of shapes add a hint of whimsy to an other wise chic look? ⁠

Yesterday, I mentioned that rice shaped pearls were the best selling shape, well the KATE earrings are the best selling item, year over year! This shimmering, silvery gray takes classic pearl earrings and makes them fresh and modern. ⁠
