Hoola hoops has nothing to offer anymore. Nothing, nada, nope. Not now when I’ve found these hoops [earrings]. Look at them. And have a look at those tiny Cognac Diamonds hanging in each hoop. Ahhh beauty is in the house.
The 14k gold hoops measure 1” long (incl. the 1.5 carat diamond) and are .7,5” wide.
The designer is Alexis Russell and you’ll find more of her jewelry at www.alexisrussell.com
This is a nice shape. It is slightly off, or odd if you will, but just enough to be really attractive. I also like the idea of three different colors at the same time. It will naturally also look really good on its own. Just one finely shaped bracelet.
The bracelets are made in Brooklyn by Fay Andrada. Material: the black one is made of oxidized copper, the goldish one out of brass and the white one is made of silver.

Things are going places! Listen carefully at this presentation.
Let’s do a little gold, shall we?!
A gold plated silver ring with a golden pebble.
These earrings are called Squiggly. It’s cloud spirals on a long chain. Also available with short chain if preferred. Or in silver if that’s your choice of metal. But we are talking gold in this post so gold it is.
I do love a beautiful golden purse. In this case a clutch.
With an orange tassle.
Sigh.

Did you know that Feng Shui believes the metal color of gold represents wealth and luck in business. Used in interior decorating, golden tone will attract financial success and prosperity. Sounds good to me. I’d better go and get me some golden stuff.
Well, I don’t know what to say. Gold, gold everywhere.
In Dubai anything can happen?
Now we’re getting down to business.
Love these Hungry Bowls.
You can drink gold, eat gold, use it for a facial mask, bathe in gold…
Have golden fingers when typing?
And last but not least; we all know what we should have invested in:
That’s right. Gold.
There just might be a reason why gold always have been considered valuable!
February 10 – March 4 the Design Museum in Helsinki is showing an exhibition called UnPolished – Young Polish Design. The Design Museum is having various interesting exhibitions during 2012 due to Helsinki being the World Design Capital 2012.
Above picture is from one of the exhibitors – Aze Design. This is really what would easily come in a flat package. Maybe the mailman can deliver it even?
Karina Marusinska is another young talented designer. She works mainly in porcelain and her designs are both classical with a twist as well as new and adventurous. Below is a fun cup followed by earrings I wouldn’t mind having from my ear lobes.
I have a thing for rough stones. I like the idea of a rough diamond for example. The polished ones are beautiful, no question about it. But there is something to be said for a rough diamond.
The designer is Laura Treolar and her company is Specimental Custom Raw Diamond and Gem Jewelry. You can buy her beautiful jewelry here
Isn’t this ring beautiful?! It is a piece of lava that has been polished until smooth but the pits and holes have been kept. And look at the ring band. It mimics the pits and holes in the piece of lava. Nice touch!
The ring is called Holey Ring and is made by Sharon Moore. You can buy it here
Trend analysis are shivering that gold is the new raw material to wear. Not that gold is very new, it keeps coming and going it seems. But seemingly, it is here again. I find the designs of jeweler Björg interesting. They mix gold with silver and they do it well. I specifically like the small pendants that has interesting sayings on them. You can wear one, you can wear many at the same time on a chain. Just clip on, clip off. There are also cuff links with the same inspiration.
Björg also has rings. My friend Charlotte has this thing about rings. When Björg started selling the rabbit-ring, Charlotte was an early adapter so to speak and to be honest, I know no one that wear those rings better than her. She sure wears them well. Just for good orders sake. Here’s the rabbit-ring
So, well, here’s another ring for you Charlotte…ta da….
Think Pirates. Think the Caribbean. Blue/green water, lush tropical green, caves, …treasures. This is your gold treasure. Like it could have been if you were there, in the Caribbean searching for treasures I mean. Maybe it is time to go there, if you haven’t been already (or maybe you actually are reading this swaying in your hammock between two palm trees). Well, if you want to go I recommend you to try Grenada. The Isle of Spice (and great rum). And, a loong time ago the pirates were actually there (hence the gold rings!). Usually at the carenage in St. Georges where they found refuge from hurricanes that messed up the trade winds (or maybe they hid from someone?). Nowadays the ships that sail to Grenada is of a different sort. Large. And they don’t dock at the carenage… But the Grenadians are friendly and the pace is slow. The trade wind is caressing your cheeks with its warmth and birds are singing in the lush tropical trees. There are waterfalls, cocoa, cinnamon and nutmeg plantations to visit and naturally beaches to explore. Why not book your flight and check in to La Luna Hotel?
La Luna Hotel offers quiet luxury as well as quiet surroundings. Just looking at the pictures it makes my heart pound faster. Talking about heart reminds me of another one of Björg designs. The heart.
You can buy Björg on line if you can’t find a store near you. Click here and you will be directed to the Björg on line store. You’re welcome! (I just know that you thanked me right now).
