I was doing my usual rounds of searching for awesome online jewelry sales today and found an awesome array of rare vintage pieces from Bijoux, Je T'aime over on Fab that I just couldn't help but want to share with all of you!
Here's a gold Vanguard Necklace look-alike that is really a great alternative for those who missed out:
As you may know, JewelMint just released their Boutique line of handbags, belts and chains yesterday. Here are a few adorable belts that could easily be transformed into handbag chains...
Last but not least, I just could not help myself when it came to this gold bracelet and placed an order for one this morning. Seriously, is this not beyond gorgeous?! I can't wait for it to arrive and to pair it with the Lioness and my Cinema Americano Bracelet. As of right now, there are only 3 left and best of all...it's only $38!
Update: 1:20pm PT - Rest of the bracelets sold out within 20 minutes of this post. Yay! for those of you who got one in time! :)

While the original Bird Cage is a unique design, I've never personally been a huge fan of wearing it. My wrists are small (5 1/2 inches around) and it always feels way too big and clunky on me.
On the other hand, I really like the new silver recolor - even better than the original. And while I know it's not practical (at least not for me), I think it's really cute how JewelMint has paired the three together in their style videos.
I also think this bangle would look sweet in a rose gold as well! Moreover, a complete redesign/refashioning of the bird cage would be lovely too - especially for us smaller wristed ladies! I'm thinking something along the lines of a Bird Cage Cuff!
Okay. Imagine this...a circular cuff bird cage design that opens and clasps close for a tighter fit (thinking along the lines of the Zoe Bangle). I'd also love to see a safety chain for a touch of added detail.
I drew of a sketch and a quick (and I mean really quick) edit in Photoshop to give you a better idea. Here's what I came up with...
JewelMint Bird Cage Cuff Sketch
A terribly quick Photoshop edit :)
If a Bird Cage Cuff existed, would you buy it?

First up, we have a trio of friendship bracelets in Red, White, and Blue which are most-likely a sneak peek of the friendship bracelets to come in July! A few names? An obvious name may be the Freedom FriendshipBracelets perhaps?
You may have already seen these earrings that resemble my daughter's favorite snack: Goldfish crackers. And not just any Goldfish crackers, but Goldfish Colors. While I'd much rather prefer to eat them rather than wear them, someone may like them as an accessory - I'm guessing? They're just a little too quirky for my taste (pun intended)...
This next photo features two recolors including the already released Calypso Island Earrings, but also a new gold Metal Mosaic Ring that has yet to be released...
We've also seen this sneak peek before, but here's another view of the crystal panther ring (coming soon) from this month's Gold Rush Earrings video (here)...
Here's another look at the photo Kate Bosworth shared back in April of future JewelMint pieces that we're suspecting will be a part of the upcoming JewelMint Boutique. We're thinking the boutique will feature the handbags and belts seen on Kate (below), and in the sneak peeks seen here, here, here, here, and here.
Finally, I can't seem to forget about this bangle mentioned before in this post here. It was spotted on Rosie Huntington-Whitely at Coachella. Here's another look...
