Remember when Tiffany launched their Paloma Picasso-designed stackable gemstone rings a few years ago? I do, because I immediately became obsessed. But at a cool $1,100 a piece, I could hardly afford one, let alone a stackable number.
Fast-forward to today, then rewind to a couple of weeks ago when I was in Park City with my fam. My cousin’s girlfriend sported a single rough-hewn ring similar to the Sugar Stackables from Tiffany. I inquired about it; turns out my cousin’s friend Lindley started this amazing line of jewelry which, among some stellar gold-worked pieces rocked by Kim Kardashian, includes a set of 3 stackable gemstone rings.
For $75.
My dreams came true.
I immediately ordered the rings, and Lindley herself immediately emailed me apologizing because she was out of the chosen color due to high demand, but she had a bunch of color choices that weren’t listed on the website. Better for me! Lindley included some of her recommendations, and I went with a beautiful gray labodorite, an orange carnalian, and a sparkly navy lapis I was hesitant to choose but ended up being perfect.
Here they are, my babies:

They arrived a mere day after I finalized my order–and I haven’t stopped wearing them sense. I actually like them MORE than their predecessors, because the rough edges and different shapes give them a fun, laid-back flair that Paloma Picasso’s version doesn’t have.
So here’s the link and info for you, should you choose to follow in my highly-fashionable footfinger-steps.

I love the gemstone rings. Good pick! Very tempting. I wonder what you think about these rings made by The Glamourai (a UT graduate now living in NYC): http://theglamourai.blogspot.com/2009/08/glitzkrieg.html
I saw one on her mom here in Austin, and I have been coveting it, contemplating getting one for myself. The current collection is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7313287 Just fyi!
