books + agate.

two of our favorite things:

from the new curated flash-sale site OpenSky, these pretty one-of-a-kind agate bookends are only $38!  because our books need jewelry, too.

new Becca Straus.

now that our summer uniform is but a vague memory, we wanted to check in with our friend Becca Straus to see what new exciting pretty she has for us in the cold weather season.

 

Becca and I met up at the Harvard Club the other evening, and before my Campari-soda had even arrived, she pulled these fabulous pieces out of her bag.

all of Becca’s stones are cut by hand.  pretty exquisite.

 

we’re a little obsessed with rutilated quartz.  I want this pendant to come home with me.

Dear Lover,

It’s over.  If you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it.

And it would have looked something like this:

tourmaline crystal, uncut, set in 18k gold with diamonds.

Or this:

opal with 14k rose gold and diamonds

You’ll be remembering my fingers for a long time.

Love,

Me.
