Monochromatic Cocktail Rings

Sep 15.08 / Lindsay

It’s shaping up to be a pretty intense fall/winter, fashion-wise. The runways displayed deep, dark hues of black and brown mixes with whites, creams, and warmer neutrals. So that means dark jewelry, simple with an edge, will be the perfect accessory to accompany the chilly season’s trends. FUN & FLIRTY Black & Clear Flower Burst [...]
