French Enameled Lockets
These French Enamel Lockets are a perfectly updated version of the classic. I love the shiny enamel pops of color!

Rosette Necktie Brooches
I feel in lurve with Nicole Deponte’s Lilian Asterfield collection back when she first inherited a trash bag full of vintage neckties. Each season Nicole creates a new line and I’m all over these rosette necktie brooches. The perfect unisex accessory, it would look just as dapper on the right suit as on a cocktail dress.

pick a jewel
I subscribe to the idea that beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder, but also that it’s all around us. In the changing leaves, blooming flowers, and even detritus. It took me exactly .001 seconds to fall in love with pick a jewel. {via Daily Poetics}

Porcelain Gem Necklace
I love the contradictory characteristics of this Porcelain Gem Necklace. The delicacy of the chain mixed with the heaviness of the bauble. The sharp angles versus the curves. All of it. {via Pinterest}

Astrology Run Amuck
I’ve always been proud to be a Scorpio and taken pride in the fact that I match up with the profile of the sign quite nicely. So when I thought (for a few days) that I might be a Libra, well, I started wondering how exactly one goes about changing a tattoo of a scorpion one might have on one’s foot into Libran scales. Luckily all was resolved shortly thereafter. However, since the Great Astrology Scare of 2011 I’ve been noticing lots and lots of astrologically-based things. Here are a few that caught my eye.

E.M. Gold Coins Necklaces
EmersonMade always (and I do mean always) impresses me, and so far this year is proving no different than the last. This month alone a signature tee collection was released and now there are these gold coin pendant necklaces. They hang at the perfect length, not too long or too short, and each have their own meaning. I do love that shamrock.

Woven Chain Bracelet
Loving this project for a do-it-yourself woven chain bracelet, a killer update on friendship bracelets of your childhood. I’m so making this. {via Honestly WTF}
