That story was so funny! I was cracking up trying to envision you!
Yes, I love jewelry and gemstones and have a ton of books on both subjects. I have seen a lot of different jewelry and appreciate all jewelry. Even though some are not my style, each piece is beautiful in its own way. That's probably where I get my thoughts and ideas from.
I can't believe you said you are getting into retro! Me too.. I am going to channel the sleek retro 60s theme this summer but with a 21st century look. I love Pucci, and I like the late 60s/early 70s sleeker groovy "space age" side of Pucci. I love the Pucci spring collection this season, so you may want to check it out. I hope to channel 21st century groovy like this:
The 1960s Pucci Air Hostess Uniforms, Ideal for Mile High "Stripping" (messynessychic.com)
Thinking about your style... you might be more Talitha Getty in Marrakech Boho 60s. Did I guess correctly?
I can see you in those Boho 60s flowing dresses. It's perfect for long YG swingy necklaces.
I would love to hear if any of the necklace combos work. If they did, which was your favorite? I like #3, #1, and #2 in that order.
My little son had a tough day at school, so no chance for jewelry try ons yet (but lots of time for cuddles!). I will aim for this weekend. The onyx/RC/malachite combos need to be investigated.
Can I tell you how the title of your link put a huge smile on my face? Thank you, I needed that:

Dying.
Loving the colors and bold prints.
I had to look up Talitha Getty, but yes, I think her style was very similar to mine. My style is a combo of her feminine boho aesthetic, a a bit of Medieval tapestry/Upholstery Glam (like pretty Gucci, not GUCCY) with a touch of tailored sculptural leather (Alexander McQueen). When I was younger I wore white metals only, and I think that affinity is coming back to me a bit. I don't see myself with WG WMOP 20 motif, that is crisp, classic and clean which is my opposite, but I could definitely see myself with an oil-slick GMOP/WG 20 motif. RC and malachite work for boho as well as edgy/glam.
Thank you! I will have to dig up some photos
Your jewelry collection has such wow factor, I love these bold diamonds.
Thanks I’m trying to balance it out. I love bling but it’s hard to wear casually
Stop it! I cannot handle this! Wow...I have no words except for: this must be breathtaking in person.
The bracelet here is made with a pair of vintage cosmos earrings, which I worked with a local jeweller to design…. Unfortunately as I am obsessed with stacking, this piece does not incorporate well with my collection so thinking of redesigning into something more wearable for me!
The whole ensemble is stunning! I would totally wear that bracelet solo and not stack at all. I love it’s unique shape
The Cosmos is lovely. Since you may redesign it and you like to stack, I would make it an open bangle with the opening at the top, one flower on each side. That would be beautiful and you could also stack it as they line up.
Think of the Perlee Coleurs open bangle except with a Cosmos flower on each side.
That would be my kind of bangle!
You have a gorgeous collection!
Bling out for casual and everyday. My thoughts on bling…
Diamonds are no longer reserved for special or dressy events only. This is because diamonds (real or fake) are now worn by everyone. I see 16 yr kids with big 5 ct earrings. I see ladies with multiple tennis bracelets. Real or fake? Who knows and when I see it, I don’t bat an eye. It’s everyday wear, especially simple line necklaces and bracelets as well as big stud earrings.
Which is exactly my point. Everyone freely wears diamonds. Only the wearer truly knows if they are D Flawless diamonds or cubic zirconia.
With that thought, I personally think big diamond bling is the easiest to wear as everyday jewelry, more so over big gemstone bling which tends to look stuffier, old-world with shorts (even then I don’t care!
)Go for it! Diamonds are day wear in the 21st century! Bling it on!
Your necklace and cross are lovely and go great together! Beautiful! Throw on a stripes tee shorts!
