But now it’s time to have some fun with the sparkly stuff!

First of all, if you’re a Juicy Couture fan – you’re definitely going to want to check the sale out.  They have tons of Juicy charms, necklaces, rings and bracelets on sale.  That includes:

Juicy Couture’s “Blooming” bracelet, featuring enamel flowers and butterflies on a multi-strand gold-tone bracelet.

How about something in sterling silver?

These delicate hoop earrings by Judith Jack feature fresh-water pearl drops, on marcasite and sterling silver hoops.

Or you could go for lots of layers of chain instead?

This necklace by Cara Couture is made of dozens of fine metal chains, in your choice of silver, gold and hematite (shown here) or the cooler-toned silver & hematite.

Or do your jewelry preferences run to the floral and feminine?

How about a floral cameo ring by Mars and Valentine?  The vintage-inspired cameo is surrounded by a mix of pink tourmaline, lemon topaz and fresh-water pearls.

Birthday presents, boxes of chocolates, fancy cards – bows mean something special is inside, right?

So why not adorn yourself with a pretty bow?  After all, you’re definitely special!

Christian Louboutin has created a purse that’s covered with a giant bow – in fact, it even looks like a present, topped off with a pretty bow:

The “Satin Bow” kiss-lock clutch purse is available in either red or black satin and features the signature red-soled pump lock and chain handle.

The old remedy for forgetfulness was to tie a string around your finger, but I think this bow ring is a much cuter alternative:

The “Puffed Bow” ring features clear rhinestrones and gold-tone metal from Forever 21.

If you want to go for a bigger, bolder bow – this bracelet is the one for you:

“Delamina is designed for women who do not just wait around for someone else to buy them that beautiful piece of jewelry, but feel that it is appropriate to reward themselves for their many accomplishments – big and small. Delamina also offers several personalization and search features that save time when in a hurry.”

I’ve spent some time browsing (and drooling) through their online shop and picked a few of my favorites to share:

Another lovely necklace from Anthropologie is this Hummingbird Necklace ($68).  Made of 14k gold plated grass and reconstructed turquoise stones, this necklace is a real eye-catcher.

Which one would you pick? I personally love the butterfly ring, I think it would make for a fun cocktail ring.

Bold Jewelry from Burberry

This lovely sterling silver flower ring by Beth Cyr Jewelry.  The ring is made using the “lost wax casting method”, which basically means if anything goes wrong during the process – the ring is lost!  Casting creates a detailed piece of jewelry, after all – it’s been sculpted first!

The Honeycomb Necklace ($38), Honeycomb Earrings ($28) and Honeycomb Ring ($45) above are simple enough to wear every day yet will look just as good when you go out on the town. Each piece is made of sterling silver rings fused together to create the honeycomb pattern.  The pendant measures 3/4″ (18 mm) and hangs on an 18″ sterling silver ball chain, the sweet little honeycomb earrings measure half an inch (12 mm) with a total length of 1″ and the ring wraps around your finger and can be sized to fit. Such a pretty set of jewelry to get for yourself or to give to someone you love. You can get these and other botanic inspired pieces from ESDesigns at their Etsy shop.
