Classic Home Decor, Pearl Jewelry, and Two Outfits

Pretties From Gingiberi, Goelia, Quince, and Amazon

In this post and video I have so much to share. I am unboxing new pearl jewelry from Gingiberi, three scented candles from Quince, a new pink roses (or peonises?) floral arrangement from Amazon, and a new apron from Amazon.  Plus, I am also showing two jeans outfits I wore recently that feature lovely new pieces from Goelia.  I have savings codes for Gingiberi and Goelia at the end of this short note, so if you are interested in anything I happen to show you might want to take advantage of my codes.

Scenes From The Video

 

Gingiberi Jewelry Unboxing

(ABOVE & BELOW) The Honeymoon Duo Earrings can be worn with the 6mm pearl in front or with the 10mm pearl in front. I love the versatility. If I am wearing my hair down, the larger back pearl is only noticeable when I move my head a certain way. The effect is very subtle. You may choose either the classic screw-design post or plug-in post. I chose screw posts. These have threads on the post of the smallest pearl, and you screw it into the larger pearl. I find this style most comfortable. The diameter of the screw post is slightly larger, so it may be more comfortable for those with piercings that are a bit larger from years of wearing heavy earrings. If you have smaller piercings, you may prefer the plug-in style, which has posts that are slightly smaller in diameter.

18k Honeymoon Duo 6-10mm AAA Freshwater Pearl Earrings (Front-to-back style; choice of classic screw or push posts; Janis15 for 15% off.)

Goelia Cotton Ruffle-Collar Shirt (See my exclusive Goelia coupon codes above to save up to 30% off.)

(ABOVE & BELOW) The Solenne Ring is fabulous. Because it is adjustable, it fits any finger. I like to wear it on my pointer finger, as I show here–or nested with my wedding set on my other hand.

Solenne 14k 3-3.5 AA Freshwater Pearl Ring (Janis15 for 15% off.)

(ABOVE & BELOW) The Aira Bracelet looks pretty alone, but I also like to pair it with my watch and other bracelets. The dangle-drop gives it a very feminine look.

Aira 14k 5-6mm AAA Freshwater Pearl Bracelet (Janis15 for 15% off.)

(ABOVE & BELOW) The Veiled Heart  Necklace is so understated, it works well with both casual and dressy looks. The natural diamond that tops the AAA Akoya pearl gives it just the right amount of sparkle. 

Veiled Heart 18k Natural Diamond 7-7.5mm AAA Akoya Pearl Necklace (Choose with or without guilloche surrounding the diamond; mine features the guilloche; Janis15 for 15% off.)

(ABOVE & BELOW) The 9-10.5mm Pearl Lume Strand Neclace is such a winner I ordered two; and the combinations are numerous. You can wear one alone with the removable circle pendant in back. You can wear one paired with a delicate diamond and pearl necklace, as I did above. You can wear two together with the clasps in back–or with one circle pendant showing in front. You can also attach pendants you may already have to either the circle pendant or to the lobster claw clasps. It is so much fun creating different looks with it.

Lume Strand Sterling Silver Faux Diamond 9-10.5mm AA Freshwater Pearl Necklace (Circle pendant is removable; Janis15 for 15% off; 45cm/17.7in.)

(ABOVE & BELOW)  What I love about this necklace is how versatile it is. You can attach a pendant to either the lobster claw clasps or to the circle pendant. Plus, if you buy two, you can attach them together to make one long necklace. The heart pendant I show attached to the circle pendant in the above photographs is by Judith Ripka. I bought it about 15 years ago. 

(ABOVE) Here, I attached a yellow and white gold natural-diamond teardrop pendant to one of the lobster claw clasps. This is an estate piece I bought last year.

(ABOVE & BELOW )  HOW TO STACK TWO PEARL NECKLACES: The length of the 9-10.5mm Lume Strand Pearl Necklace is approximately 45cm/17.7in. If you want to wear two necklaces together as I have done here, place one lobster claw clasp approximately 1″ from the the circle pendant on the top necklace (see illustration photograph below). Do not remove the circle pendant from the bottom necklace; you want it to be approximately 1″ longer than the top necklace.

Home Decor & Accessories Unboxing

(ABOVE & BELOW) Quince contacted me and asked if I would like to review their scented candles. I ordered three and found each is very different from the other. English Rose is quite feminine (I would love it as a body lotion!). Cote Marine feels tropical (think pina colada). Lavender Cedar reminds me of a man’s soap; it is very alluring. Priced at $24 each, all three are fresh and clean in character; definitely not heavy, and I like them very much. According to the description on line, they are made of high-quality fragrance oil, a premium non-GMO soy wax blend, pure cotton wick, and recyclable glass vessel. Free from lead, parabens, sulfates and phthalates–and cruelty free. I go into much more detail about the scent of each in my video.

English Rose Candle ($24; 60-hour burn time; non-gmo soy wax; 100% natural cotton wick.)

Cote Marine Candle ($24; 60-hour burn time; non-gmo soy wax; 100% natural cotton wick.)

Lavender Cedar Candle ($24; 60-hour burn time; non-gmo soy wax; 100% natural cotton wick.)

(ABOVE & BELOW) I have been looking for a faux-flower arrangement that wasn’t $250 and up (as I kept finding at luxury home and department stores), so I decided to see if I might be able to find something at a more reasonable price at Amazon. This is the pretty arrangement I purchased. On line it is listed as Pink Roses, but it also reminds me of peonies. 

Faux Roses (or Peonies?) Arrangment in Glass Vase ($42; also in light pink, champagne, white, or purple.)

(ABOVE & BELOW) Three times a day (preparing for and cleaning up after breakfast, lunch and dinner) I have been wearing the same two aprons. One I got in 1983 and the other in the early 1990s. I was ready to wear something new. I bought this Linen-Blend Floral Apron at Amazon. I love the timeless floral print and longer length. Plus, it has a large pocket on the front. It is so cute!

Linen-Blend Floral Apron, Indigo ($37; also in red or olive; 28″x35″.)
