Plukka x The Glamourai: These Rings Will Change Your Life

My obsession with jewelry is boundless, kids. In fact, let's not even talk about all that I bought myself for my birthday, including Dannijo and Alex Woo. Suffice to say, the Plukka rings seen above were also in the mix. Created in collaboration with blogger Kelly Framel of The Glamourai, each is comprised of two delicate diamond bands connected by a fine 18k gold chain. Simply sexy, but with a subtle hint of bondage that this girl just can't resist.

Plukka offers a unique and distruptive pricing model, in that the more rings that are sold, the lower the price to all. Currently, The Glamourai ring is...er, ringing in at $665 per and while just one is lovely, I do love two (seen above) or even three worn on the same hand.

Wardrobe Workhorse: The Stud Earring

As a lover of statement jewelry, it often surprises friends when I own up to my obsession with delicate, baby stud earrings. As you'll see below, I have at least a dozen pairs - some classic (Tacori diamond studs) and some quirky (tiny safety pins by Giles & Brother.) The reason for my obsession? Style is all about BALANCE - the balance of color, silhouettes and most importantly, proportions. In short?

• Statement necklace? Perfect with a baby stud!
• Delicate, long pendant? Try it paired with a gorgeous pair of chandelier earrings.
• Multiple cocktail rings? Avoid bracelets all together.

 

And though the most stylish people I know tend to disregard rules left and right,  for ME, this guiding principle of balance is what I think about every morning when I'm getting dressed.
