As the summer starts to heat up, so do the adorable 1940s and 1950s styles that have been brightening up stores such as Modcloth, Wasteland, and Anthropologie. When I see retro clothing in the summer, thoughts of eating watermelon at the boardwalk come to mind, surrounded by the bright colors of the rides and stands. Below are some colorful gemstones from Tiffany&Co. that perfectly match the summer mood…
   
   
I love Harry Winston…
 
I was out recently with a coworker whose style I particularly admire. She always looks polished and sophisticated, while still casual. This particular day she was wearing a v-neck red cashmere sweater, a white button up, and clean khakis. She wore large pearl studs and was showing off her solitaire engagement ring. While the center stone in her ring was not overly large, she has a yellow gold ring setting, which made the center diamond look very white. The center stone really a popped, and I asked myself, when was the last time I had seen yellow gold engagement ring? They come in and out of style, but no matter the time, they always stand out because the white center diamond shines white in comparison. Yellow gold is particularly good with diamonds that are a little less than the perfect white - the stone still pops against the yellow gold and the less than white hue is not compared to the whiter precious metals. Below are some classic options from Blue Nile for you to see what I mean…
  
I was having a Jackie-O day…

While we at Sparkle Therapy love posting on elaborate jewelry pieces and high fashion jewelers, when selecting an engagement ring, many women prefer classic settings that highlight the center diamond.

With that in mind, below are some lovely classic options from Blue Nile, the ultimate online jeweler for engagement rings and high quality diamonds.
        
People, at this point in time, tend to consume in excess. We want the biggest mall with the biggest stores with the widest selection. Even when visiting the super market, we’re appalled when we can’t find something on our very specific shopping list. According to our current state of affairs, we should be able to consume whatever we want, and a lot of it. This may, at times, carry over to our jewelry wearing habits. Whether it be fine jewelry or costume jewelry, we want to shop ‘til we drop, buying as much as we can at once. Upon purchase of this jewelry, want to wear earrings, stacked bangles, and a small pendant, not to mention sparkly pins and belts. While wearing ten pieces of jewelry at once can be fun at times, it’s important to remember that more is not always better. Choosing select pieces with simple sophisticated outfits is chic and timeless. So ladies, choose your fine jewelry carefully, and when feeling the urge to add 5 more piece of jewelry to your already sparkly outfit, take a note from the book of Grace Kelly..
