If you guessed 19 years old, you’d be RIGHT! I bought these when I worked in my first makeup job at Merle Norman. They still work great and I haven’t even sent them in for sharpening! I clean them with rubbing alcohol and they are good to go.
If that’s not an endorsement for a product’s quality, I don’t know what is!
I recently made a purchase to go with my wedding band that I’m pretty happy with – a pave set band of Charles & Colvard Moissanite to wear when I want some sparkle. Moissanite is a lab stone that has none of the ethical concerns of diamond mining/blood diamonds and are incredibly affordable compared to comparable diamonds. I can wear my sparkle guilt free, and if something happens to the ring, I won’t cry for weeks and weeks! I think this sits nicely with my wedding band. Stacking rings are a trend I’m loving at the moment.

I have a deep, abiding love for white metals, always have. I have a great big bunch of sterling silver jewelry…ridiculous amounts of it, since you can sometimes find such great deals on it. One of the things I love about the current revival in 90s fashion is that suddenly, my jewelry is back in style. No, I never stopped wearing this stuff!
All those pieces were found in expensively on eBay…except one. I bought the thumb ring at a hippie boutique in 1994. Bringing back the 90s? Or kept it alive all this time?
So, I showed this photo to Kristin and she said “You know we all wore that stuff! Oh, and the black cabochon rings with the filigree around it.” To which I said, “Ahem, left hand,” and sent her this photo:
Pardon the swollen hands, but it’s hot as HECK here.
What jewelry are you rocking this summer?
