Fancy Dress Friday: guest posts and vintage ring cases

Happy Friday the 13th, everyone!

Today’s date may have some people scared, but we’re not afraid to admit that we’ve had a great week here at Turtle Love Co.

The week began with a guest post from our Vintage Style Council Member of the Month Katherine from Of Corgis and Cocktails. She showed us one way to style her current favorite piece of our artisan jewelry, the Laurel Leaf Keepsake Necklace by Laura Serrafero. If you’re not familiar with this necklace, it’s handcrafted from 50% recycled sterling silver and has a lustrous 8mm aquamarine briolette and an engaging 8mm freshwater biwa pearl accompanying its silver laurel leaf.

We also recently acquired a new batch of vintage rings and what better way to photograph old engagement rings than by placing them in and around antique engagement ring boxes? We were lucky enough to get a gorgeous collection of vintage velvet and leather ring boxes on loan for the purpose, including this adorable case that looks rather like a pocketbook or bowling bag! We’ll let you know when the new rings are up on our website, but in the meantime, have a wonderful weekend!

Currently loving: Laurel Leaf Keepsake Necklace by Laura Serrafero

We asked this month’s Vintage Style Council member of the month, Katherine from Of Corgis and Cocktails, to tell us about which piece of our artisan jewelry she’s currently loving. She chose the Laurel Leaf Keepsake Necklace made for us by Toronto artist Laura Serrafero. Here is her suggestion of how to incorporate the necklace into a green themed, nature inspired outfit:

Hi! I’m Katherine, and I blog over at Of Corgis & Cocktails, a fashion and lifestyle blog all about quirky fashion, cute pups, delicious food, and generally things that make you smile. Today I am bringing you some of my favorite items inspired by the Laurel Leaf Keepsake Necklace here at Turtle Love Co.

One of the first pieces of jewelry that I fell in love with at Turtle Love Co is the Laurel Leaf Keepsake Necklace. I love necklaces that feature a cluster of charms in a timeless metal, so this necklace is right up my alley. Taking cue from this classic piece, these items all remind me of bay laurel leaves in some way. The leaf print dress is perfect for a stroll in the garden, the green nail polish and bag are that perfect shade of summer leaf green, and the wedges are the perfect mix of nature with their all leather leaf decoration.
