Ring accent on a scarf
in place of a broach

Inspiration: http://www.wendyslookbook.com/2012/01/modern-vintage-leather-trims-silk-hermes/

So I don’t have a Herme’s Scarf, or the lovely YSL ring, BUT I have some larger cocktail rings I’ve never really worn that would look good in place of a broach on a scarf.

 

I DO have this vintage scarf I bought on ebay 
and the ring was my grandmother’s.

I’m using a long rectangular scarf instead of a square. I threaded one side through the ring one way and the other side through the other way and tied a loose knot in the back so the ring was secure and wouldn’t fall off. I let the ends trail off the sides because the scarf did not start as a square like hers.

JewelMint Metal Mosaic Ring Review

JewelMint Metal Mosaic RingI had signed up for JewelMint but not bought anything yet when I received a coupon via email for 60% off. After much debate I chose the Metal Mosaic Ring because I think it will be versatile, work with other jewelry I already own and because as crafty as I am I can’t really make solid metal rings. 🙂

So far the one thing I’m not liking is that even though you don’t have to order jewelry each month, it looks like you have to sign in and say “pass on this month.” As far as I can tell this is a subscription model.

I’ve worn the ring for several weeks and I think it’s a very versatile piece for me. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on it as well.

Vintage Turquoise and Silver Ring

Vintage turquoise ring

So I’ve been going through things here and came across my grandmother’s jewelry. I knew there were a few turquoise pieces I wanted to find. They were in with the costume jewelry she let the “kids” (us) play with.

I wish I had taken a picture of this ring before I polished it and litterally hammered it back into shape. It was in pretty bad condition, completely black and I could barely get my finger in the misshapen loop. Here it is now though:

Vintage turquoise ringI don’t wear rings a lot but I’ve happily worn this all day. I’m not certain it’s real turquoise but I’m fairly sure it is. It feels good on my hand and it’s pretty unique I think. It think it might be on its way to wardrobe staple. 🙂

There are a couple of bracelets I want to share as well but I’m not done cleaning them up but I started in on them. I wish I had taken a photo of them as well.
