aquamarine cabochon

After sharing what I bought myself for my birthday, let's talk about my actual birthstone: aquamarine. This is by far my favorite aquamarine piece. It's big and makes quite the statement. I got this when I was in Luang Prabang, Laos. This cabochon is so beautiful up close. The store also had a similar ring in sunstone and I really regret not buying it. I can't find a better replacement. It was beautiful and I wanted it but at the time, I thought that having two of the same ring with different stones would make each feel less special. I'm about to book a flight back to Laos and hunt that ring down. That's how obsessed I am with jewelry. 

pearl rings

Pearl rings. I'm obsessed with them. My left hand middle finger is my "pearl ring finger." However, when I bought some of them, they were too small for that finger and didn't have any more sizes but they were still cute so I would buy them and wear them on my right hand ring finger instead. I never wear two at once, even if they're on different hands. I bought most of them when I traveled to Malaysia (eight out of the nine!) because I've been in Southeast Asia for the past two and a half years and I always find beautiful jewelry there. For me, I've always thought of women who wear pearls as classy so that's partially why I'm so attracted to pearls. And they're pretty. Let's not get started with my collection of pearl strands. Not yet.
