JewelMint Midnight Soiree Ring + Sealed With Love Necklace = Midnight Soiree Necklace

Here's a combination of two of my favorite JewelMint pieces...Sealed with Love Necklace and the Midnight Soiree Ring. As seen here before, I've even combined the two to make the Midnight Soiree it's own pendant which looks lovely when worn with a winter-white cashmere sweater, leggings or a pair of camel or burgundy cords.

I still have yet to actually use the Sealed with Love as a wax stamp, but it's something I look forward to doing sometime soon as I have a bunch of 'thank you' cards to send out in the near future.

Would you wear the Midnight Soiree as a pendant on a necklace?

Here's a breakdown of JewelMint's latest Trend Report...

 

The Trend:

• American Moment: We "love the fresh look of a necklace worn over a shirt buttoned to the color, spotted recently on Kate." This look was seen on Kate Bosworth back on August 3rd in Los Angeles for a Coldplay concert (seen in this post). This look was later revealed as one of the looks for JewelMint's StyleCaster photo shoot (as seen here)! Cher Coulter styled Kate in a button-up shirt from Missoni's Winter 2011 Collection with JewelMint's Lost City Necklace strategically placed peaking out from under the collar!

The Soirée on a Chain

Upon receiving my new items from each month, I carefully assess each piece with the mentality of "thinking outside the box", both literally and figuratively.

This month a few things have come to mind so far which includes the idea of purchasing a total of 4 Gatsby Bracelets in order to link them together to create a stunning Gatsby Necklace.

In addition to this, I had the old idea of putting "rings on a string" cross my mind for the Midnight Soiree Ring. This works out well for me being that the sizing of the Midnight Soiree is a bit too large for me anyway. While I can make the size 6 work on my pointer finger, I was tempted to turn the ring into a lovely pendant, and I had the perfect chain in mind..

I went into my "archive" and found my Sealed With Love Necklace (SWL). I removed the charm and added this ring as the chain's new pendant. I did have to carefully use rounded jewelry pliers in a manner to not damage the metal loop, but that was very easy to do with my jewelry repair kit. I'm eventually going to change out the connector loop with a smaller one so that the SWL pendant can be easily removed without the use of tools. Any other gold chain will work just as well, but being that the ring is so large, a longer chain will probably look best. This would probably even work well with the Poseidon Disc Necklace chain too, or layered with either! ;)

I'll be posting more photos of the Midnight Soiree Ring soon!

Would you wear the Midnight Soiree Ring as a pendant?

New JewelMint September Sneak Peeks - Savoy Bracelet & Midnight Soirée Ring! Thank You Breanne!

 

Photos: JewelMint Poses Facebook App

A super huge thanks to Breanne for sending me a message about two new September Sneak Peeks that can be found on JewelMint's Facebook Poses App! We finally have the names for two pieces we've been talking about for awhile now!

The Savoy Bracelet (as seen in this post here) is still looking absoltely gorgeous!!

The Midnight Soirée Ring (as seen in these post here, here and here) - you know, that "Black" cocktail ring as we've been calling it?? . Well, it's actually olivine green! Too funny, considering I was calling the upcoming green ring in September's Lady Noir Rings black for awhile there as well.

What are your thoughts on these two new September pieces? Which pieces are you looking forward to buying the most?

xoxo, Lily
