Jewelry on Etsy
Hehehe. I probably won't be like that. I do like the idea of Etsy. But it is a little noisy. It is hard to hone in on the stuff I like. There is no obvious descriptor or search term I can use.

I have ordered a few things. A few pieces of jewelry, and some other items. As for the jewelry? A couple things were nice. A few others inspired me to take a trip to Michaels and try my hand at making something.

I have finally got a pretty good handle on what I like. And there are a few local (to me) stores that seem to have the look I am going for in abundance. But sometimes. Or most of the time it is way out of budget.

I do find it really interesting, that the things I like most (I like things that are sort of a contemporary delicate sort of look) are way more expensive than the ornate stuff. So I'l have to start setting a jewlry budget and defining my jewelry wardrobe/wishlist. I think I have a thread topic!

Sure, how about links and pics?

I have been on a mixed metals spurt lately.

Thinking about this: Greer V-neck Layer Necklace - Necklaces - Jewelry | gorjana & griffin

I also have a similar pair of earrings to these: Hand Cut Leather Leaf Earrings by tomgirl on Etsy (mine are slightly different in color and shape)

And these

As for "quieter" items?
I have these too:
Horseshoe Hoop | C R O W N N I N E Jewelry
something similar: Ross-Simons - 6.5-7mm Pink Cultured Pearl Necklace With 14kt Yellow Gold Clasp. 18" - #416089
and something similar: Estate 18'' Triple Strand Peacock Black & Charcoal Grey Pearl from inspiredbynanny on Ruby Lane

And attached are a few other things I have.

I like some combo of delicate and geometric.

I love skinny jeans. I wear them with heels or boots.
