Love it or hate it, the Choker Necklace trend is back with a vengeance this year! All over the runways, but with some unique twists...

Lots of ideas there, but I prefer these delicate alternatives: 

What's your preference? Not ready to take the dive, yet? I actually have several necklace options that can be worn as almost chokers in my latest MidCentury Necklace Collection... in case you want to gently jump on the bandwagon!

Enjoy :)

Found: a Jewelry traveller that I am in LOVE with! This studded mosaic zip case is at the top of my Wish List...

Gold studs, cream leather, AND anti-tarnish lining! Swoon. Now I just need to find a place to go...

*It's 25% off via Wayfair $111.99 (orig. $149) :)

Terrazzo is having a moment and I am beyond thrilled. To me the Midcentury mosaic wonder is basically jewelry for the home! 

I first fell in love with the material as a young child in my Grandfather's home. It was a sprawling modern Asian style with Terrazzo floors. The metallics drew me in and I was surprised that there was a material that could make something as mundane as a floor sparkle.

What actually is Terrazzo? It's pieces of marble and granite suspended in concrete. Doesn't sound so sparkly, but the finished product can add as much color as a painting. It's a perfect way to artfully brighten up a room or give hint of shimmer to a high-traffic area, like a floor.

Here are a few examples...I even found a pair of Terrazzo Earrings!

Enjoy!
