Fit for a Queen

And by "Queen" I mean "me." This necklace is stunning -- simple, dramatic, bold yet neutral. Anyone who knows me will tell you, I love bright colors: MAC pigments, robin's egg blue paint for the bedroom, fuschia peonies. In my jewelry though, I tend to prefer pieces that are neutral enough to work with everything I own, and I think lots of modern women are the same way. We just don't have time to always match our earrings to our cocktail ring to our necklace (though, it's still nice to do sometimes). So when I shop for jewelry, I seek out pieces like this one from Joia Style Studio. I love how the hammered gold warms up the smoky grey quartz. The facets on the gems play nicely with the texture of the hoops that surround them. It's chunky and delicate at the same time -- I could see wearing this with my Sevens and also with a linen suit to work. Surely that justifies the purchase, no?
