Glam Green Gems

Ok I think I need help. I found this awesome necklace/earring set a while back on Etsy, bought it, dismantled it, changed the beads around, and I love it. BUT, I don't think I love it for wedding jewelry. This is the necklace from the set I got (pre-dismantling):

I think what I'd love to get are some earrings kind of like what Angelina famously wore a few years ago (doesn't help that I already had a girl crush on her, she then had to go and wear fabulous green earrings as well).

So I currently have about 10 pairs of earrings in my Etsy cart... and I need help! Seriously. Help me? Please?? Here are my top contenders (click on the link under the picture if you want to see the other views on Etsy):



seller ellabelleboutique


seller Dalim



As you can see, I'm a fan of big green stones. Not a huge fan of emeralds so much, plus I'm more of a vintage-looking-jewelry kind of girl (bonus if it's actual vintage!). So which ones do you like? The last ones may actually match a necklace I own. Key word is MAY. Do I buy yet another pair of green earrings on the off chance that they match the necklace? I also feel like if I get one of these kinds of earrings, unless I find a matching necklace from the same seller, it's going to be extremely difficult to match the stone so I'd probably just be wearing earrings. Do I need a necklace? I know, it depends on the neckline of the dress... but I can't show you that because FH reads my blog (sometimes)! It's sweetheart-ish, if that helps, and I'm wearing my hair half up (unless it rains, then all the way up). Thoughts??

  1. I like #2 best, then #4. I too love the Angelina Jolie green earrings thing. You should get at least 2 of these, why not?

  2. I like 2 & 3 also. I totally agree. Get at least 2 pair. Like you will never wear the other pair??

  4. Did you know you can post a request for a custom order on Etsy and artist bid with ideas and prices? You can even post the Angelina pic and see if you can get a very similar pair made. Just a suggestion.

  5. ah i actually had forgotten about that function! however, i ordered one pair of earrings (none of the above, although from one of the sellers above) and convo'd her about a matching necklace and she said she'd gladly do it, even though she has no necklaces on her shop! so once i get the earrings, assuming i love them, she'll be making a matching necklace for me! fingers crossed!
