When I feel down, I tend to want to go shop, and shop, and shop. Nothing gets me like a sale, and what better items to go on sale than… Jewelry! Bracelets, to be precise!

These are two finds you just have to have.

Let’s play a guessing game: how much do you think is that Freshwater Multi-Color Beaded Pearl Bracelet in Sterling Silver, on the right?

Two hundred dollars? Nope! A hundred and seventy-five? No, but somehow close! A hundred fifty? Nu-uh! A hundred? Oh, goodness, no! Still stumped? Try $39.

Yes ladies, that beautiful bracelet is only $39. Down from $175, this pretty little bauble is a total steal at $39.

And what about this absolutely adorable mixed-color 14K Yellow and White Gold and Cubic Zirconia Bangle? It’s not $615, girls, it’s totally worth the 27% you pay of its original price… At only $168!

So whoever says that jewelry shopping is just exorbitant? Not Zoe. Because she knows how to find the best deals in jewelry! And you should, too!

So troop on over to My Favorite Jewelrybox’s Liquidation Sale, because you will definitely find something to brighten up your day, satisfy your craving for the shiny and the glittery, and give you reasons to splurge… Wisely!

I still cannot get over my punk moment.

Punk, Goth and Emo are teen subcultures that I haven’t encountered in my day. But this beautiful fleur de lys cuff, despite looking like a teen punk/emo/goth accessory, is so to-die-for, it transcends subcultures and genres.

I mentioned Goth because back in the.. Old times, Gothic architecture evokes the same feelings and perceptions as this beautiful bracelet. Gray, gloomy hues, but in the dark, gloomy world of Gothic architecture, there is beauty. Much like this cuff bracelet.

Okay, profound moment over.

I think this cuff bracelet would really go well with an elegant, sleek black dress. You could actually wear this one to a cocktail party. You don’t have to wear the thick dark eyeliner that the Goth look requires. Actually, I think a clean, natural look would be best, nude or light pink lipcolor, then your slinky black dress, a pair of nice silver, plain or diamond-studded earrings, probably a discreet necklace, then this bangle. But to emphasize this fleur de lys cuff, you could skip the necklace and just stick with the earrings and your black dress.

And what gives this piece character is the fact that the fleur de lys has a long history, filled with symbolism and meaning.

Nice to know jewelry could have history, huh? : )

Toodles, my darlings!

Let’s let our hair down and be a bit edgy for a day, shall we?

I stumbled across a cuff bracelet on my favorite jewelry website on the planet just the other day, and I realized that I could actually turn the fashion thing around. Instead of me finding jewelry to accessorize my outfit, why don’t I customize my outfit for the jewelry?

That is the Hematite Stingray Leather Cuff Bracelet in Sterling Silver that made me want to dress like Avril Lavigne (Sk8rboi era look) for a day. Could you imagine, sassy, elegant Zoe in Avril Lavigne’s edgy Sk8rboi look, because of this bangle! I was beside myself!

But really. There are days when a girl should just let her hair down, simply because urban jewelry could get pretty irresistible. And this is one of them!

Hi Girls

Maybe you can settle an argument for me? Mom says I’d look in bangles, but I don’t agree. I prefer straight-laced bracelets. You know, nothing fancy.

I like gold, mom says silver. I’ve always wanted a gold bracelet with a dangling heart, but mom says go with a bangle with diamonds. Girl’s best friend and all of that. What do you think?

So what do you like? Bangles or bracelets? You can get both at My Jewelry Box.
