I seriously need to build up a jewelry collection... I am still keeping gross little base-metal trinkets and beaded things I've had since high school and college. Might be time to graduate to "grown up" jewelry. And as long as we're looking at jewelry, why bother with delicate little bonbons when you can make a splash with a statement necklace?
I love how Rachel Leigh's designs edge on flamboyant, but still convey an elegant restraint in terms of color (or lack thereof), and consistency of shape, and texture. There's something very beautiful indeed about a fantastic explosion of crystals clustering around one's throat. And, on Gilt Groupe they are quite affordable indeed, almost all under $100. Happy shopping.
