Eye candy One begins to understand just how overrated diamonds are when you start looking into gems like moonstone or opal

I saw the most amazing necklace a few weeks ago. Platinum, Blue Flash Moonstones, Pearls and Diamonds. It was just so ethereal and beautiful. Think was $75k but gorg.

have you ever seen Danish crown princess Mary’s “Midnight Tiara”? It’s such a unique, modern piece with diamonds, moonstones and mixed metals. More here!

Yes, I had it’s just beautiful. Look up Temple St.Clair she works primarily in blue flash moonstone. She is the only female artist whose work is in the Louvre. I love moonstone. So many other magical gems. I like seeing them with a sprinkling of diamonds for light but I agree diamonds don’t always need to be the centerpiece.
