hi all! In a completely impetuous moment I bought a coral and rose gold plated sterling necklace. The chain is long and reminds me a bit of a rosary, and the pendant is a coral branch held in place with a sterling mount shaped like coral.

I liked it so much I went back to find earrings to go with it. I decided on amber drops with coral beads held in place with sterling mounts shaped like coral branches. So no worries, right?

Wrong. So wrong. Unfortunately, my magpie eyes fell on a matching bracelet, and now I can't get it out of my head.

Before I break down and get impetuous again, I was wondering if any of you lovelies have had any experience with this line? The cuff I want is enormous, and it seems to be held together with two oval O rings. Has anyone tried it on? Heard anything disastrous about it functionally or otherwise?

I've really fallen hard for the design and craftsmanship of these items. Any opinions out there?

Haha, you sound like me! Once I get something in my head, I'm absolutely obsessed about it. Can't help you with the jewelry you mentioned though. It sounds beautiful. I'll have to check the website to have a look.

In general, I'm very uncomfortable taking pictures of things inside boutiques, or things that I don't own yet. The 20% charity card discount starts on October 22. I'm not buying until then. I was hoping to get opinions BEFORE I jumped right on in.

I've made my decision, though, so thanks for the help, y'all!
