Somewhere in Middle America

charming

For the past couple of months I’ve been drooling over the Helen Ficalora intial charms at Trocadero. I’d love to wear the “P” charm in gold on a 16 inch chain.

But my latest obsession is Albeit‘s alphabet necklace, which I discovered via Oh Joy!

How gorgeous is that? At $310 a pop for a 14K gold cable chain necklace and pendant, it would be a piece I’d wear everyday.

A couple of days a week I work at Trocadero, a lifestyle and accessories boutique in Omaha’s Old Market. Before moving to Omaha in 2007, the owner, Alice Kim, was an editor at In Style magazine in New York City and thus has fantastic taste in shoes, handbags, jewelry and home goods. While I was an admirer of many of the brands and products she carries in her shop when I started, every day I’m there I discover a new favorite. Yesterday’s discovery was Alexis Bittar–specifically, this oxidized silver double link necklace with aquamarine, green tiger’s eye and iolite stones. I tried it on while I was wearing a white tank top and navy Banana Republic cardigan and it totally enhanced my outfit, so much so, that Alice let me wear it to a fundraising dinner that evening. Of course I had to photograph when I got home… before I reluctantly returned it to the store.

If money were no object, I’d buy this necklace by Becky Kelso in a heartbeat. It may be the most gorgeous piece of jewelry I’ve seen in a long time.

drusy love

So remember those gold and quartz drusy earrings I was drooling over at Trocadero? Well, I got them for my birthday, and I love them. I wore them to my bowling party and then all day on Sunday. Can I tell you how many compliments I received? Tons!

JHill of Sacrebleu! is also a fan of drusy (which she spells with an extra “e”), specifically the Melissa Joy Manning drusy agate necklace and ring above. So gorgeous!

amor verdadero necklace

My Amor Verdadero (True Love) may be returning home from his deployment in as little as two weeks! Perhaps when he gets back, he’ll buy me one of these lovely little 14k gold-fill discs from Anne Kiel as a belated Valentine’s day present.
