Do you have a slight taste for the goth? If so, you may be as excited as I am about these fabulous opal skull earrings by Zoe and Morgan.

Zoe and Morgan Opal Skull Earrings These 18k gold-plated pierced earrings are exclusively available at Net-A-Porter. They’ll add an unforgettable touch to any outfit you choose to pair them with.

Originally priced at $265.00, they’ve been marked down to the bargain price of just $159.00! That’s over $100.00 off!


Bittar and Blue for Green

What’s even better than a good sale on a superfantastic item? A good sale on a superfantastic item when the profits go to a good cause, that’s what!

The New York Botanical Gardens work to provide excellence in horticulture, science and education. They currently have an extensive collection of the sculptures of Henry Moore displayed throughout the gardens.

I may have the worst case of black thumb on record (I look at plants and they die horribly. I’ve killed cacti by failing to water them enough. I feel terrible about it, but I don’t seem able to overcome this particular problem.) but I do appreciate plants. I want them to grow and thrive. I also want to wear beautiful jewelry and have pretty things in my home.

Thanks to the gift shop of the New York Botanical Gardens, I can support plant life, wear beautiful jewelry, and still save money! Trifecta!

These gorgeous sterling silver and blue topaz earrings by Alexis Bittar, for instance, make my heart sing.

Alexis Bittar Blue Topaz Earrings They’re gorgeous. They look cool as ice on a hot day and sparkle beautifully. They also happen to be on sale!

Normally priced at $128.00, they’ve been marked down to just $89.60. Of course, if I got a membership, the price would fall to just $71.68 (ah, the benefits of joining things!). Either way, the profits go to plants and art, both of which I can support in a big way, even if I’m not terribly good at making either one. Everybody wins, and that’s way ahead of what’s in second place.


Snakes? Charming!

Zoe & Morgan Double Snake Earrings In honor of my favorite snake-hating archeologist whose new adventures hit theaters tomorrow, I felt I needed to talk about these fabulous Zoe & Morgan double cobra earrings. They’re elegant, sassy, and delicate looking with their gold plating, pink opal beads, and fun tassels.

The best news of all, though, is that they’re on a great sale at Net-A-Porter, along with dozens of other superfantastic designer items. Net-A-Porter usually sells these lovelies for $165.00, but they’ve slashed the price in half to just $82.00!

Now, can I get them here in time to wear to the opening?

A great pair of earrings really finishes a look in a special way. Of course, the best ones are gorgeous in their own right, but don’t take attention away from your face. Subtlety as well as style is important.

Lori Bonn Rose Quartz Earrings These superfantastic rose quartz geometric dangle earrings by Lori Bonn fill the bill nicely. The simple lines and subtle coloring combine to enhance - but not upstage - you. What’s more, they’ll go with most colors you might want to wear. You’ll wear them again and again.

Of course, if you see it here, you know it’s a good deal, too. Normally these fabulous drops of gorgeous sell for $115.00, but right now Nordstrom has them on sale for just $76.90! That’s 33% off the original price…which is nearly as superfantastic as the earrings themselves.


Blue Plus Green Equals Fabulous

Blue topaz and peridot make one of the prettiest combinations in the world of gemstones, in my not so humble opinion. Put them together on a pair of earrings, and I’m there. Of course, if you then cut the price I’m there even faster.

Take this gorgeous pair of dangle earrings from Overstock.com. They’re elegant, lightweight, and superfantastic.Blue Topaz and Peridot Earrings They’re also 60% off the original price of $200.00. That means you pay just $79.99 for them. Now that’s the kind of math even I like.

There’s nothing like a good pair of earrings to complete a look. Whether you’re dressing up or dressing down, something sparkly at your lobes can really make or break the finished effect.

If you’re in the market for a good pair of earrings, you might do worse than to take a look at these elegant gold-set garnet and diamond dangles available from Sun Jewelry.

Garnet and Diamond Dangle Earrings Each earring features a one carat garnet set in 14k gold. That’s a total of two carats of garnets and .02 carats of diamonds.

Whether you’re headed for dinner with friends, the hottest new club or a night at the opera, these beauties will look fabulous.

Best of all, they’re a steal! The retail value is placed at $315.00, but you can get them from Sun Jewelry for just $126.00! That’s a savings of nearly two hundred dollars, which means you might be able to afford orchestra seats.
