I posted a sneak peek of my newest lady to my Facebook page last week, now here’s the finished ring… another bespoke piece by way of London’s Hatton Garden.

Wedding Jewelry: Thelma & Louise
Continuing our look into my wedding day jewelry box, I introduce Thelma & Louise… thusly named because moving to Denmark has many times felt metaphorically like driving over a cliff.

Christian Louboutin Quality Review: Empress’ New Shoes
Christian Louboutin has failed to impress me! After unsuccessful hunts in five Louboutin boutiques in three countries, I’d nearly given up on ever finding a pair of these red soled lovelies in my all too popular size. My losing streak seemed to end last week in London at Selfridges, when I fell in love at first sight with this… Continue Reading
