a turquoise trend is one i have not long for tiring of....thus these keep me up at night.

this 1950's cartier ring is a real true blue gem...
out of reach monetarily but not in my dreams;)

+the victorian one is kind of a genius in between of some of the earlier posted rings...annnd it's from 1870, amazing not only in how contemporary it looks-but also because that was a majorly important time in the development of photography. (for example, the first theory of color photography was published in 1868.)
yes, i did get a minor in art history. and also yes indeed, i sure am a foto dork.

did i mention??

that girl is mine.

yes, the ps.1 in emerald suede.

there were a whole bunch of reasons for this.
all phenomenal.
(+thank you to heather for the friends and family love!!! couldn't have rationalized without.)

more to come on all channels.

MAJOR.
