Review: LeeMo Designs

Confession time: one of my biggest fears is that the aging process will punish me for wearing doorknocker-size earrings. I really, really do not want to be an old lady with saggy earlobes.* Neither does Leela Morimoto of LeeMo Designs. Her collection of lightweight earrings is fashioned from origami and lasercut acrylic to create beautiful statement pieces without the heft. 

I fell in love with the clear acrylic Oridama earrings. Doesn’t it look like the crystallized pattern of frost on a windowpane? 

Check back later this week to go “Behind the Baubles” with Leela and a chance to win a pair of diamond-shaped origami Ayano earrings. (I’m fond of the blue and white pair.)

*Instead, I really, really want to grow up to be like Iris Apfel. Have you seen her HSN line? 

A huge thank you to Leela for sending over the earrings!

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? 

Shop It: Flutter necklace, $320 // Speck earrings, $380 // Stack bangles, starting at $44 // Petal earrings, $74 // Stack rings, starting at $40 // Sunrays necklace, $850 // Saturn ring, $80 // Spiral ring, $68

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
