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.

seeking representation of the unimagined (but realized in daylight) dreams..as can be embedded in prongs.

i got engaged to my dream man!!!

+thus i am in need of a ring (since i asked him;)

i'd imagined, given how seriously specific i am with my jewelry that we'll likely have to commission a ring....or collaborate or whatever....so, here's the first blang thang inspiration.

found on mociun, ebay, doyle+doyle, barneys, + made her think


and here are a couple of yipdedoooo engagement photos...
respectively taken by my brother, magda wosinska, and claire weiss.





and we're off to morocco and paris tomorrow for a foto expedition and post engagement celebration!!
see you in late may friends.

(oh and if you have any awesome ring ideas or paris recommendations...please let me know!)

best in show, this side of the pueblo?

this gentleman caught my eye in the licoln center square on my way into mara hoffman's show...but coincidentally he was on the same train on the way home...
i stopped him to take a couple shots and we had a really lovely exchange about native american jewelry....honestly those pieces are some of the craziest scaled numbers i have ever seen in all of my world traveling. (perhaps he was a berber woman in a past life?:)
in the end, i kinda wish i had stayed to talk to his (obviously crazy) ass a bit more and hadn't hopped the L but c'est la vie.
