Yup, I gave myself a gift for no reason at all. Yes, I am feeling very spoiled. I believe us women have to spoil ourselves! As women, mom’s, wives, grandma’s ahhhh let’s just say ALL women should spoil themselves occasionally!! It can be as easy as an hour alone to do NOTHING. It can be a new book, a manicure. It can also be jewelry!! It keeps us sane, happy and able to care for everyone else in our life. This year my favorite gift to ME, me, me is jewelry! I mean really is jewelry ever a bad gift?? Whether it’s from someone special or a gift to yourself. ( cough cough and in my best Tim The Toolman Taylor voice} “HOOHOOO JEWELRY GOOD!” I am a huge fan of classic jewelry! Classic Rings in particular!! A great quality ring will never go out of style, you can pair it with everything! You can wear it everyday! Dressed up or dressed down. With jeans or a little black dress. In the garden or out to dinner.
Signet rings are one of those classic pieces that has always held a special fascination for me from. The first time I fell in love was watching Diana, Princess of Wales wearing one back in 1988. Stars like Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne and Katie Holmes have been sporting signet rings on their little fingers as well. Did you know that the Duchess of Cambridge prepared to marry into the royal family, the Middletons were granted their own crest by the College of Arms; sister Pippa is now rarely seen without a gold signet on her little finger.
There is proof that classic jewelry never goes out of style. For instance, I recently saw that Zales has the Marilyn Monroe jewelry collection. She’s been gone since 1962 (58 YEARS!) and yet we are still fascinated by her style. I personally don’t believe I’ve ever seen this particular ring before but it’s a stunning piece!! I love the simplicity of the design.
But, my present to me was a little more old school design.
I am in love with this square design of this particular pinkie ring. Of course I had to have an A inscribed on my new ring. (was there really any doubt?)
Y’all know eight year old Granddaughter Alice is my little spirit animal. That kid brings constant joy to my heart. Now she brings me joy on my pinkie too!
Now (as if I really needed a reminder!) I glimpse my ring as I knit or type or sew… there is my monogram pinkie ring gleaming in the sunshine (or snow shine!)
So little Peanuts. Do you have a classic piece of jewelry that you have loved for years. Whether you own it now or are just secretly drooling over it.

Shelly, bezel set stones are my all time favorite!! I love that bracelet!
I love the simplicity of the cigar band in rose gold.
Shannon, Cigar bands are great! I love big bold rings.
Now I just looked at the Medium Diamond Solitaire Ring it is absolutely gorgeous! I know that the round diamond ones would probably stay in the setting better but I love the square ones. I lost mine because of the prongs wearing out. So I haven’t had one in years. Guess not much need when you live on a farm and tend goats, chickens and so forth. LOL
Diane, I do love that ring. Even though we are up here on the mountain I still wear my wedding set. Truthfully, only because I’ve gained so much weight the only way these are coming off is if someone cuts ’em off or cuts my finger off.
I really love the Medium Diamond ring. I like the square shape of the diamonds more than the round shapes.
Large Diamond Solitaire Ring is gorgeous! I love the rose gold!
The Mini Wraparound Ring with White Diamonds is pretty cool.
I like the Halo Diamond Opal Ring on the website. My only nice pieces of jewelry I own are my engagement and wedding rings.

The birthstone ring is really cute as well.
The Diamond Tension Ring is pretty.
I am loving the birthstone bracelet as well. Very pretty.
Shannon, that IS a beautiful piece!
I don’t think I’ve ever worn a signet ring. I did own a gold Claddagh child’s ring that I used to wear on my little finger but it ‘disappeared’ during a house move.
Kate the Claddagh design is daughter Selena’s favorite. Moving is the WORST!!! So many items that ‘fall off’ the truck so someone else can enjoy? Grrrrrr
Of course I would love the Skinny Cuff at $980 but hey its 14K SOLID GOLD. What did I say about me not being cheap?
Diane, Sayin’ it again we could be or should be sisters! That is stunning!!!
I like the Infinity Heart Ring
Shelly, that’s a fun ring too. So many classic items to fall in love with
I also like the anklet birthstone. It is so pretty!
I also really like the White Diamond Ring in rose gold. It is so beautiful.
Zales has two of them that I like one is a heart with a small diamond and one is a heart shape made out of diamonds. I like just about all heart shaped jewelry.
Shannon I have a heart necklace like you described tons of diamonds in a heart shape. The Husband gave that to me about 25 years ago and it’s still one of my top 3 pieces of jewelry. I love hearts!
I love the Diamond Bezel Necklace
Shelly, Bezel set stones are my very favorite style. I LOVE them!!! That necklace is perfect!
I also love the White Diamond Ring $350 14K SOLID GOLD. It is just beautiful!
Flower Earring Back Small
in rose gold is another fave.
Shannon those are so pretty! Did you see the flower earrings with diamond centers? Ohh hello pretty flowers!!
The Mini Wraparound Ring with White Diamonds would look stunning on my mom!
Ohhhh Natalie, wanna adopt me as your Mom? That ring is beautiful!
I like the Diamond Stud Earrings with White Diamonds
Shelly, Diamond studs are ALWAYS a favorite for me. I don’t think you could ever go wrong with diamonds. Like EVER!
I love the Diamond Brooklyn Bridge Ring in rose gold.
Nidhi, I love BOTH of the Brooklyn Bridge rings! They would look fabulous together!
I am loving the simple opal necklace is the rose gold!

I reall like the Finity Heart Ring as well.
$80 GOLD VERMEIL
Diane, we do have the same tastes in jewelry.
The Infinity Heart Huggie Earrings are super cute.
Shelly, Those are SO pretty!! So unique!
Seeing as how I’m doing Beauty & The Beast I’m going to pick the Enchanted Disney Belle Diamond Accent Rose in Glass Dome Pendant in Sterling Silver and 10K Rose Gold – 24″
Kate,that’s an excellent pick!!!!!!!
Halo Diamond Opal Pendant in rose gold is another fave of mine.
Shannon that is a really pretty piece. I love the necklace too.
I think I too love the Signet Ring $220 14k solid gold. It is so simple yet a very classy ring, but then anything 14K solid gold would be. Right!
Diane, I am the same way. Gold is always classic. I keep coming back to that Signet ring. It’s so pretty
I don’t know a lot about jewelry, because I never wear it except for my wedding rings. I just have to add that adding another giveaway entry after the contest already started is, in my opinion, unfair and pretty cheesy.
Sue, I’m sorry you feel that way. I like giving people another way to add entries.
The Diamond Brooklyn Bridge Ring in rose gold is pretty.
Oh Shelly, I do like the shape of that one. It’s really unique
Flower Bracelet Closed
in rose gold is so pretty!
Shannon, that is REALLY pretty! Your right, definitely in the rose gold it’s prettier than the silver.
The 1/15 CT. T.W. Diamond Tri-Sides Infinity Shank Promise Ring in Sterling Silver is so pretty.
Agh! I’ve just seen Flower Earring Back Large – absolutely gorgeous AND unusual!
Ohhhhhh Kate! Those are cute!!! I love the ring and necklace that goes with them. SOOOOO pretty!!
My favorite piece is the Diamond Eternity Ring. It sure is a stunner!
Ohhhhh Tracy a girl after my own heart. That piece is stunning. That one is sooooooo pretty!! Ohhh Dearest Husband… I wanna show you something!
I like the White Diamond Ring in rose gold.
Shelly, that’s a beautiful ring! Dainty but with lots of POP!!
the Pave Evil Eye necklace is beautiful. 🙂 Very classy.
Jennifer, that is cute!! I hadn’t even seen that line. I like that there are matching earrings, bracelet and a ring! I don’t think I would wear all together but mix ’em up with other pieces IN A HEART BEAT!!
My jewelry gift I give myself is earrings. I don’t wear rings or watches or necklaces but I’m always wearing earrings.
Sarah, The Husband gave me a pair of diamond earrings for Christmas one year and those are the only ones I wear. Now rings? Ohhhh I am all over the left hand rings (just one) but I love my collection. I love to change it up, silver and gold, fun to funky.
They are nice, I don’t have one, though. It it great to give yourself a gift now and then, as that way, you know you are getting something you really like!
Rosie, very well said. You know what you like more than anyone else.
I do remember when signet rings were everywhere in the 80’s. Glad to see them making a comeback. I like classic jewelry. I have several cameo rings that I love.
Tamra, I have my Great Grandmothers cameo pin. It’s stunning. I wear it on my jean jacket which sounds weird but it works. I have a lace hankie behind it. It’s a fun funky look.
These are really fun rings! Like you said it can be worn dressed up or dressed down.
Shannon they are fun. Kinda old school, I really don’t think they ever go out of style.
Hum favorite piece of jewelry! I guess I would have to say that my favorite thing was my mother’s jewelry box full of her favorite things. I never really wore any of it. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love jewelry but I never wear it. Not sure why but I never keep it on if I do wear it. I finally gave my mother’s box to my oldest daughter and she is dividing it out so that each great-granddaughter will have a piece to have at their wedding.
Diane, I need to do that. I don’t know why I have so much of my mother’s jewelry. I need to divide up mine and mom’s and give it to the kids. I LOVE the idea that the jewelry will be handed down.
I have a set of marachite jewelery that was my grandmothers…she brought it over from Europe in the early 1900’s whether it was originally her mum’s I don’t know….it is a 5 piece set of large ring with onyx stone, necklace, bracelet and 2 pairs of earrings…I cherish it and wear it for all fancy occasions….
Oh Michele, this sounds like an amazing set! I LOVE BIG fun pieces and onyx is always stunning.
Wow, Michele, what a wonderful thing to own. You really must put your memories into print. My Mum’s wedding ring is 22 carat Welsh gold from her grandmother’s original ring that was split into 3 for her two daughters and herself and then passed down through the family. These are the important things – as human beings we need connections.
Kate, I LOVE jewelry that is passed down to generations. I have my Grandmothers anniversary band I’m hoping that Alice will love it as much as the 3 women before her.
