Love the pieces and especially the necklace on you! Gorgeous!

The Dior collection, especially the ring and bangle, reminds me of Shaune Leane who creates edgey pieces (think McQueen edgey).
Here is a ring I think you might like:

I worked with them for a custom piece based off the Interlocking Aurora ring, but we could not get the gemstones I wanted perfect, so I stopped the project. You might remember, but it was this one: https://shaunleane.com/collections/...ourmaline-morganite-rhodalite-aurora-ring-set
His ready made pieces though are very striking and unique.

Love the edgey-ness of Shaun’s pieces! It reminds me of Megan Fox’s engagement ring from MGK whom he commissioned with Stephen Webster, I wonder if they drew inspiration from Shaun’s designs.
I personally think a lot of designers take inspiration from Shaun's edgey pieces. He was the first to make "thorn" jewelry fashionable in the 90s (the infamous thorn crown he did for McQueen). Then he created the "Hook" earrings which so many designers now copy (he also did Talon).
I thought the same thing when I saw Megan Fox's "interlocking" ring. It could honestly have been two of Shaun's interlocking Aurora rings. Webster's ring needs a magnet to stay together, but Leane's ring truly "interlocks" as part of the design. When I was working with them, they told me it took over a year for Shaun Leane to perfect that design after many tries to get it to interlock perfectly. I love that ring for it's architectural design which is why I wanted one. I still love the ring, and next time I cross the pond, I may just get a finished piece as I know for sure how it looks.
Stephen Webster has edgey pieces too of course, and I suppose all jewelry designers get inspiration from each other.
A similar comparison would be Seaman Schepps and David Webb who pieces are so obvious they drew inspiration from Verdura.
I was recently invited to a Seaman Schepps event, and all I could think of was I was seeing Verdura copies.
Seaman Schepps does admit their piecew were inspired by Verdura, among others.
I'm not saying it's bad; it's more an observation to know the brand and history.

Very true! As it is in fashion, designers do draw inspiration from each other and the trends come and go in cycles. It’s very cool to know that Shaun’s designs truly interlock instead of needing a magnet, I agree in that it’s more of an architectural piece. I love that you have a wide range of jewelry taste from the edgey Shaun to the elegant VCA Frivole! I admire all kinds of jewelry styles and love to learn more about their histories. Our home is currently undergoing renovation but when it’s finished I have bookmarked many of the books you recommended and plan to purchase them, they’ll be great coffee table books and mostly for me to read and ogle at.

I am sure it will be lovely once it's done.I am glad to hear you like jewelry books too!
My favorite book of VCA high jewelry is this one:
It is fabulous! VCA gave them out at one point as a gift, but that was years ago, and I don't recall seeing it in recent years.
This book is gorgeous bling with great stories! I just stare at the pieces and look at the detail, such beauty.
By the way, a bit off topic, but I'm following your lead on H colors! You're the guru.Very true!

You’re much too kind! I don’t think my collection is anywhere near as complete as @eternallove4bagBy the way, a bit off topic, but I'm following your lead on H colors! You're the guru.

I’m waiting for new colors to come out but I’ve truthfully been giving my nails a rest period to breathe, I need to stop being lazy and give myself a nice manicure. I’m extremely picky and particular about the way my nails are painted so I prefer to do it myself. I wish I had a nail lady I trusted with my unreasonable OCD standards 
Yes, I do recall. His work is fabulous and very interesting to me. I dont always want just the same sort of style of jewelry and like to explore several themes and styles. He does some very beautiful and clean combinations with his stones and metals (ex diamonds, yellow sapphires and tsavorite) which I like and it seems like more designers restarting to slowly incorporate into their work. SL is based in the UK right? That's too bad you weren't able to get the perfect stones for your custom project but never say never! Hopefully another or better option comes along soon.@glamourbag

Yes, he is based in the UK. The boutique is in Mayfair, and it is near VCA, Buccellati, and other fine brands.
I wish @tenshixYay I just bookmarked that too! Even the cover looks gorgeous. Thank you for all the recommendations!

I haven’t bought any of the H nail colors since last year when the two new colors were introduced. BTW I do my own nails too! Mine chip fast and I tried the gel at the nail salon and hated how my nails looked and felt after they took off the gel nail polish. Never repeating that mistake again!
Liberty London had a spring sale on, and I had a load of loyalty vouchers to use up. I finally pulled the trigger on a wishlist piece that I’ve been eyeing up for the longest time!
I got myself the Alighieri Il Leone Medallion in 24K plated bronze. Given my love for lions and the noble literary heritage of the brand, it was a purchase that deffo made sense for me. Can’t wait to wear it tomorrow!
