so begins my foray into blogdom. i came up with this idea randomly one day at work - these things happen - and decided it was a good one for the following reasons:
1. i love jewelry.
2. i have yet to find a blog out there (although i'm sure one, or ten dozen, exist) that focuses solely on jewelry.
3. i am picky about my taste in jewelry and i find that sometimes general fashion blogs talk about pieces that are too trendy for my tastes. maybe that is the point of blogging, to keep up with trends... clearly i do not care.
4. i like good grammar. lots of blogs (not all, but lots) have bad grammar. therefore. i will write my own.
5. i talk about jewelry a lot. jewelry is also the first thing i notice on another person. true story.
you might also discover in the relatively near future that i like lists.
anyway, i guess i should also include some sort of review in this post, so i can actually call myself a blogger and not a rando who rants to herself in cyber space. after some strenuous internal debate (ha), i have decided to start classic and talk about a tiffany piece. specifically, the elsa peretti round pendant with rhodonite in sterling silver.
isn't it lovely? i love the pink, although realistically i could do with any of the colours. i have this pendant on a tiffany charm bracelet in onyx and it is quite nice as well. i like this piece because it doesn't scream "TIFFANY" to me - i mean, obviously if you are a walking tiffany box (ahem) then you will know this is both tiffany and elsa peretti, which i hear a lot of chirping about because it's so "common." everyone has elsa peretti jewelry (open heart, i'm looking at you), it's not a novelty any more, blah blah blah. but i don't know if all this chirping is necessarily a bad thing. it is basically a weird way of acknowledging you have good taste and you are willing to invest in nicer casual jewelry (i consider silver to be casual jewelry for the most part, but that's just me) - both of which are good things, at least to me. at $295 (usd), it is a bit pricey for elsa peretti pendants, but i think that is also pretty self-explanatory considering there are gems involved and not just silver. i think that is very reasonable for, say, a christmas gift (not that i have already started my list or anything).
i also like tiffany silver pendants because they are so consistent. the chain is always dependable, always 16", and always coordinated so the clasp goes in your right hand and the eye goes in your left hand when you do it up (which is weirdly important to me because i suck at doing anything with my left hand). as any good tiffany salesperson will tell you, the 16" length is absolutely perfect because it sits above a crew neck tee and basically works with any article of clothing you could wear. i have a couple of necklaces in 18" just to mix things up, but for the most part 16" is classic.
what do you think? am i being way too predictable for talking about a tiffany piece first, or do you like this one? (do you think it's annoying that i constantly write side-notes in brackets?)
