The Teardrop Peacock Druzy Ring ($144) is a beauty! The large, rough-hewn druzy stone has a beautiful iridescent quality. It’s quite mezmerizing almost like a mood ring but so much better! What’s great about this ring is, no two are alike! It’s made out of a natural druzy stone …read more

This ring looks kinda like a rock I picked up in kindergarten and made into a ring with aluminum foil and kinda like something that belongs in a glass case in a fancy store. Check it.

The high-low balance of the ring is really seductive. I love the totally organic, jagged shape and the ultra-whiteness of the silver. Plus, the color gradation is so perfect. I know that nature did that, not the artist, but it’s really a masterful design. Available for $120 from Masaoms.

This ring is amazing on so many levels. First of all, it’s this crazy beautiful geode that the earth just naturally formed, all by itself. And second, the artist cut it into this amazing marquise shape that shows off all its sparkly little nooks and crannies.

The steel grey stone with its almost silver druzies looks amazing set on sterling. The size is perfect: eye-catching, but it lays flat against the finger for comfort. Available for $110 from Retsina.

Let me explain…
How often do we get all wrapped up in preparations and end up not having enough time for ourselves?
Every year?
So why not get your holiday outfit and jewelry pulled together sooner, rather than later?
It’s one less thing to do on the night of the big office party, gala event or cocktail reception!
