Caviar Dreams

Among the things I don’t “do”? Wear costume jewelry. My mama always told me that when it comes to fashion and accessories “Go for quality and not quantity.”

And mama is always right.

Yes, in lieu of wearing trendy jewelry — which tarnishes (ew) and fades out style (double ew) — you’ll always find me dripping in precious stones, gold and pavé diamonds (I’m a glutton for glitz!).

With this said, I always ask the husband for finer pieces of jewelry for my birthday, Christmas, anniversary and Valentine’s Day. Poor fella, I know. I justify these purchases as future heirlooms for our daughter (wink, wink) but I have a sneaking suspicion he’s on to my selfish antics. Judge all you want! Mama also told me not to care about what other people think of me.

Famed jewelry house LAGOS graciously gifted me with their latest piece, a LAGOS Black Caviar Collection Ceramic Rope Bracelet. Comprised of a black caviar bracelet replete with a sterling silver box clasp, it’s both timeless yet modern — meeting all my requirements for must-have status.

Besides, mama spotted my LAGOS Black Caviar Collection bracelet the other day and literally stole it from wrist. Well played, mom. Well played.
