The fall colors here are in full force, but the peak season won’t last much longer. This Elizabeth Cole necklace is a lovely way to enjoy the season’s fiery hues as long as possible.

Review: Cynthia Jones Jewelry
Remember that episode of Sex and the City where Aiden proposed with a pear-shaped diamond and—gasp!—a yellow gold band? Carrie threw up and I totally understood where she was coming from.
Even if you’ve just started perusing this blog, you’ll know I’m over that. Ninety-five percent of my gems are gold tone, but the rest—the most precious pieces in my collection—are still silver and white gold.
And, much to my own surprise, I’ve been introducing silver into my everyday bauble lineup by way of this ah-mazing Cynthia Jones ring. (You’ll remember the New Mexico artisan from yesterday’s post.) It’s crafted from a ribbon of sterling, twirled around itself to form a ring and the quality is as impeccable as the design.
Thank you so much for the ring, Cynthia!
Behind the Baubles: Cynthia Jones
A myriad of gemstones is an easy recipe for a knockout statement piece, but it can be more interesting to strip away the glitz and really focus on thoughtful design. I admire the honesty of Cynthia Jones’ organic, rough-hewn jewelry. They’re really pieces of art. In fact, her collection reminds me of the gifts I purchase at art fairs, but ultimately keep for myself. With metalwork this beautiful, who could blame me for being selfish?

Outfitted
As I mentioned here, the dress I wanted to wear to last weekend’s wedding didn’t allow the luxury of breathing room. Upon this discovery, I may have flung myself on the bed in a fit of dramatized despair before I took it to the Internet and weighed my options: a girdle or a new dress.
A new dress.
I looked at hundreds of dresses and each time the selection left me underwhelmed, I increased my budget and began again. (At one point, I decided $500 would be absolutely reasonable to spend on a panic purchase.) Obviously it was a long night, but I finally found this Erin Fetherston dress on Amazon. It’s everything a cocktail dress should be: feminine, whimsical and irresistibly sweet.
Lemons into lemonade.
