I got these from a friend whose style is a bit more flashy than mine. I used to hate faceted stones. I thought they looked cheap for some reason. Like they were trying too hard to be diamonds.
I'm surprised how much I have actually worn these.
I bought these several years ago to wear to a Christmas event at work.
I'm pretty sure I've never worn them since. They just come across as being too dark with the gunmetal-ish findings. I think they would look much better with sterling or gold-filled findings.
I bought these in Paris (I think), and they came in a set with at least one other pair. I bought them because most of my earrings are silver, and I wanted something that was a little warmer to put in the rotation every now and again.
These earrings were given to me as a Christmas gift by my best friend. At first I didn't think I would like them, because I tend to wear silver jewelry, but I ended up absolutely loving them. They are from a boutique in Provo, UT called Kaleidoscope, which has since closed its doors.
I love earrings. I collect them, I buy them as souvenirs in my travels, and I notice the earrings everyone wears. Always.
At one point I counted over 175 pairs of earrings in my growing collection, and decided that I would not allow myself to wear any pair of earrings twice until I had worn them all once. This blog is simply a documentation of that process and a place to share all of the beautiful earrings I find (and their sources, where possible).
I try to note the store where the earrings were purchased if I remember. For those purchased abroad I will note the place and the date, as well as the store if my memory serves me well enough to allow it.
(I'm also going to try not to wear any newly-purchased earrings until I've worn all of the earrings I already own. TRY.)
