Making a Statement.

Hello all!


Hope everyone is having a great week so far. 


Not sure if it's been apparent or not, but I have a slight obsession with statement jewelry. I love the way a piece of jewelry can tie an entire outfit together.


One of my favorite pieces of jewelry is the cocktail ring (or the dinner ring, statement ring, etc). I think big rings are a great way to make an outfit stand out without being too flashy or obvious.


So, I selected a few of my favorites from my jewelry box to show all of you. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

This Week I Love...

Happy Monday!


I hope everyone had a great weekend. I apologize for the lack of posting... crazy, busy weekend back home.


So, one of my favorite fashion bloggers is Chiara from The Blonde Salad. She has an incredible wardrobe and fantastic style! She posted a picture during New York Fashion Week of a stunning Swarovski cuff (see image below) and I fell in love with it!

I had put the cuff on my 'Wish List,' however, I was browsing in Forever21 and I stumbled upon an identical bracelet! No, it isn't real Swarovski crystals but it'll do until I want to splurge on the 'real' deal. So, this week I love my new cuff...

What do you guys think? Aside from the fact that I need a tan!


I'll be pairing the cuff with the outfit below for the start of my week.

Steampunk Jewelry with Volcano and Red Magma

One of my favorite swarovski color is the volcano . It is a glimmering crystal with all the colors of a lava flow from burning red ,orange , deep purple to bright spring green. It is very similar to all the colors of fire at extremely high temperatures . The base of the crystal is coated to create a reflective effect , the crystal catches the light, displaying an amazing array of colors which in turn catches people's eye .

The next color that I'm waiting for is the Red Magma crystal ,
It is said to have a soft red surface with a powerful deep cognac core.
Expressing both tenderness and strength at the same time.

New Volcano Crystal Steampunk ring

I received a few new color of swarovski crystal that I'm introducing to my shop for the first time . Originally i only had the blue and the tobacco color. The tobacco color on the left is closer to forest green with golden orange reflective background . The blue has a light tint of purple. It's hard to catch all the beauty of these crystal in one single picture, just a slight change in the angle and it shines with different colors . You can see all complete 5 pictures of the rings in my shop . Here are the main pictures.

Steampunk *** Cyberpunk

It is said that black goes well with everything .
I made one with the tinned copper wire and a Black Jet swarovski crystal . The ring currently in my shop is a size 5 . I can make this model in size 4.5 to around 11 and more .

The last color i got is my favorite , The VOLCANO .
Volcano is an awesome multi-colored coating . The beauty is hard to describe
but the picture is worth a 1000 words :
