Bejeweled

Spotted these gorgeous pieces by Stacey Lee Designs at a recent craft fair and couldn't help but think that the crystal quartz necklace and earrings would add a lovely touch to a bride's wedding look. Loved perusing through Stacey's latest designs and managed to walk away with just two pieces for myself...a small amount considering I had my eye on at least a dozen different ones!

All that sparkles

It's been two years since hubby and I tied the knot and I still find myself looking at my bedazzled left hand and thinking back to our special day. But this post isn't about our wedded bliss. It's not even about the gorgeous rings we got from The Diamond Specialists. It's about a great blog that The Diamond Specialists started recently that answers common questions and offers helpful advice on everything jewelry-related.

I just browsed through Jewelry 411 and zoomed in on two questions right away: "How do I clean my ring?" and "What the heck is palladium?" (I'm paraphrasing, of course). I don't habitually clean my rings and I've been thinking of switching the band on my e-ring to palladium. Bingo, questions answered.

Stacey Lee Designs

Oh, happy day! My favorite local jewelry designer, Stacey Lee, launched her long awaited, much anticipated web site this week! This means I can browse through her latest designs with a few simple clicks and expand my jewelry collection in minutes.

Stacey also offers a bridal collection with custom designed pieces made to the client's specifications. I ordered my bridal necklace, earrings, and bridesmaid jewelry from Stacey last year and couldn't have been happier with the way everything turned out.
