Hi TCFKAG, I love the blog and was hoping you could help me with a jewelry problem. I'm looking for a floral necklace that has delicate-but-realisticish blossoms. (This is really inspired by someone I saw years ago, didn't have the money to buy, but have never seen else.) The closest I've seen lately was actually in a Hart of Dixie episode. It's the necklace Lemon wore here: http://wornontv.net/1174/. But ideally, I'd be looking for something a tiny bit subtler. I'm open on color and style. Thank you! Em
Garden Grove Graduated Short Necklace from Kate Spade NY ($148 - pricey but pretty.)
Coral Rose Jewelry Set (necklaces and earrings) at Diaszabo on Etsy ($38 - I am officially, unequivocally in love with these. OMG.)
Matte Silver Calla Lilly Necklace at LaDivineBijoux on Etsy ($22 - so delicate - so lovely.)
Floral Formation Necklace at Anthropologie ($198 - there are actually several necklaces at Anthro that fit your desires, though I think this is the most interesting - but also the most expensive. If you like the Anthro look, you might check out this Camellia Bib Necklace or the Captive Flowers Necklace both of which are a more affordable $68).Bejeweled Flower Necklace from Forever 21 ($5.80 - maybe not as realistic - but the price is sure right and its nice and delicate.)
Embroidered Lace Dahlia Necklace in turquoise from ktimages on Etsy ($17.50 - different but so cool.)
Bloom necklace with ruby briolette at SMV Designs on Etsy ($40 - I love the gold and ruby together.)
Anne Klein Burst and Bloom Frontal Necklace at Nordstroms ($44 - not really floral - but the colors are just lovely.)
Minimal Chic Polymer Clay Flower Necklace at Eri on Etsy (item actually sold - but check out her similar work - I love the different, modern take on the floral necklace.)
Okay Reader EM! Hope these ideas help. I think lots of them are lovely and would be wonderful for the spring and the summer. I especially love how they could be dressed up for a cocktail look (ala Lemon) but could also be dressed down for work - for example with a black or navy sheath dress and a brightly colored cardigan in the summer. They'd also be a fun way to add a pop of interest to a jeans and blouse look on the weekends. Altogether an excellent look. Two thumbs up EM. Let me know if you choose any of them! :-)
