The Big News

(skirt-Zara, top-Zara, necklace- Jewel Mint, bracelets-Jewel Mint, Ruche, J.Crew, 
shoes- 3.1 Phillip Lim, bag-c/o Rebecca Minkoff, sunglasses-c/o David Yurman)
As you may have noticed there is a new permanent addition to my left hand, my engagement ring. I'll save the whole story for a different post, but I'm happy this is the outfit I wore that night. It's simple leather skirt and white blouse combo dressed up with some charming Jewel Mint Boutique pieces. The tasseled strands are actually supposed to be a belt but I think they make an equally lovely necklace. I'm kind of smitten with the all of the Jewel Mint Boutique pieces and keep finding more to love, but I have to say I love my engagement ring more than any other piece of jewelry I have ever owned.

There is nothing traditional about my engagement ring, and that makes it a perfect reflection of our relationship.

Engagement Rings All Women love to wear jewels that make them feel special, and diamond jewelries are always the first choice for them because the charm of diamond jewelries attract them.

Mickey Blue said...

Congratulations! I can't help but feel a twinge of envy knowing that you're gonna have the time of your life very soon. My brother is also bugging me of finding the perfect diamond rings in Melbourne because he's gonna propose to his girlfriend of 8 years. Oh well. Great blog!

Ray Ashton said...

I think custom jewelry are the latest trend nowadays, it's like you provide the design and from what ore mines you want them to be made and the jeweller will do the job for you.

amy atkinson said...

I also looked on some long island jewelers that just had this same necklace design and it's pretty cool how they made it very creative.

doris alonso said...

It is quite unique and that is what I love about it. My fiance had my engagement ring customized since he just wanted me to wear a very rare design. He was able to buy silver uk and had it done into a ring.
