This hematite cocktail ring by Lele Sadoughi is everything: sleek, modern, and affordable. If I hadn’t been on such a spending frenzy lately, this would be tucked away in my pre-order cart on Moda Operandi. (The trunk sale ends on my birthday. It’s basically destined to be mine, isn’t it?) There is a bright side to the pre-order preview, however. Now I have time to save my pennies and until its official launch later this summer.
…and we’re off!
I won’t be updating the blog while we’re away (aside from Sunday’s scheduled “Bauble of the Week”), but there will be plenty of bourbon-laden Instagrams to document our trip to Kentucky. I hope you have a relaxing Memorial Day weekend!
The above photo is from our 2012 trip to Louisville. Yes, those are penguins on the roof of 21c. The staff moves them to new locations in the hotel-restaurant-gallery hybrid each day. I’d love to spend the night here, but a more budget-friendly hotel is just fine with me.

Strong, geometric designs are the hallmark of KATTRI, a fine jewelry collection by Amanda Gerbasi. Her work isn’t over the top and it isn’t overwrought with details. Instead, it’s refreshingly straightforward with bold gemstones and even bolder lines. (I’m head over heels for the white gold and crystal Polygon Ring that looks like a glamorous shard of ice.) The collection launched last year as a Kickstarter campaign, but Amanda’s jewelry roots run over a century deep. In 1900, her great-great grandmother designed and sold jewelry after emigrating from Spain to Brazil.
