I can't get enough of dainty layered rings. Everytime I come across a sweet stack, like the one above, I can't help but to "Pin" it and then dream about recreating it. I've gone ahead and done the leg work for those of you who are interested in getting this look. How sweet is the tiny heart necklace tucked into this ring heavy photo?

Colour Moment: Rose Gold and Black

We all know that rose gold is the metal of the moment. Boyfriend watches, dainty necklaces, and thin rings abound in quirky and unexpected rose gold. One of the best colour combinations with rose gold, is black. Wear your bf watch with a black blouse and you'll see how it really pops. The same goes for black diamond accents within the jewelry. While white diamonds can get lost in the piece, black really stands out and creates a look that is bold and modern.
Here are a few of my favourite rose gold and black jewelry pieces:
