  2. OH LA LA ... that Gucci diamond ring ... has me swooning!!! .... Lately I have been looking back to Audrey Hepburn and I find myself intrigued by Salma Hayek and Eva Mendes ... simplicity in dressing... Happy Sunday my friend....

    Life continues to move in twists and turns .... but I'm finding my way... Sending warm hugs across the miles, blessings, xo C.

  3. Hi darling - what a gorgeous post of bling today! So many beautiful and striking pieces.
    I love statement pieces too but nothing too elaborate. I look best in understated simple jewelery, but like to layer them for effect.

    I used to go clubbing at the same places as Jasmin when I lived in London. It is years ago now but I'd bump into her in a VIP suite or at the ladies room and she had such presence. Glowing from within somehow. Just gorgeous!

    Ok lovley. I just sent you an email about that book you told me about. Am trying to get a copy for myself to read.


    Big hugs to you

    1. TYSM Charlotta for popping over and for your lovely e.mails.
      I agree with you re Yasmin; she just doesn't seem to have aged one year!

  4. Stacking bracelets! Love love love them! It's probably a bit cliched but my favourite English muse of the moment is Kate Middleton!

    1. Hi Meghan. YES! you are so right. I think she has usurped so many to take top spot as a British muse. Why didn't I think of her ? ;-)

    RHW's dress is simply fabulous and I love all of the jewelry! Eye catching pieces are the best!!

  6. My eyes have been starving for a good jewellery post, and this one is brilliant! These are such elegant ladies, and the pieces you've selected fit them perfectly. English muses...have to be Sienna Miller

  7. I love the boho-chic earrings and the stacking bracelets as well, but that big whopper of a diamond from Gucci is gorgeous. As for British Muses...you know that for me Kate Moss has no equal! ( tongue very firmly in cheek!) have a wonderful week Vanessa. xxx

  9. What stunning pieces, Vanessa! I just love the stacking rings and bracelets with the tiny gems! So delicate and pretty! All these ladies look so lovely ... as for your question about British muses ... after today's videos on the blog, I think it may be Keira Knightley ... her accent in the first video is so pretty. What is it about accents that makes a girl seem so mysterious?!

    1. LOL! Americans seem to love the British accent. Being British I didn't even notice KK's accent in the video ;-)

  10. Such lovely pieces. I think Elizabeth Hurley is beautiful, but truthfully, I tend to like the British men. Ha. Yes, Americans can fall for an accent.

    Gorgeous jewelry you featured to today. I failed to tell you in my comment back to you that my son is on a traditional school calendar. He's out June 7 through late August. Some schools here go year-around with kids in 9 weeks, and off three weeks throughout the year.

    1. TYSMM Leigh. Yes you are right about Liz Hurley . However I was behind her once in an airport queue and she was really obnoxious. That has since put me off :-(

  11. Beautiful women - beautiful jewellery! I think that you've chosen some wonderful muses - if I could be half as elegant as Kirsten Scott-Thomas I'd be happy. I'd probably throw in Rosamund Pike, and Charlotte Rampling for good measure.

  14. Yasmin is my all time favorite woman, it might be fair to say! Seriously, I grew up obsessed with her. I had photo albums with her photos back in the 80s when I was young. I wanted to be her! So funny looking back at my younger years. But still to this day, I admire her and her beauty, dedication to her family and her sense of style.

    All the other ladies are fabulous too but I just had to go on about Yasmin. :)

    Happy Thursday, sweetie! xoxo
