What I look for in anniversary jewelry is something that I know I will wear forever. I would also like it to have worth, in case some day I am forced to flee my home with only my jewels - ha, ha. Lately price is an issue, like I said before. But it also seems that the less I spend on something the less it is worth to me. Ignorant, I know, but that's how it feels. So, I need to find a balance of worth and price.
Well here are some of the pieces that are in the running so far.
Top photo is the inlaid horn necklace from
Peggy Li Creations. This is the front runner. And while I realize the horn/tusk necklace was very trendy and now is kind of over, I also know that I have a couple of this style & I still wear and love them. And I know not to expect perfection from the piece since it's kind of a rough style. That was the mistake I made when I ordered my amethyst earrings off link (I think that was anniversary year 6). I was very disappointed by those.
The next photo up there on the right is a Petal Prong Ring from
HSN. I really dig it but am worried I am over the kind of tongue-in-chic giant silly rings, since I've bought a couple cheap on ebay & gotten kind of done with that look.
Lastly there is a really cute handmade necklace in the
Solstice Jewlery shop on Etsy. I love the design & everything about this except that it is in gold. Granted it does look like a faded gold, which maybe I could live with. Hmm.
Well, anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, please leave a comment!
