Channeling my inner Betty Draper here! I wore this outfit for my neighborhood's big Kentucky Derby dinner party over the weekend (complete with a fascinator, of course) and I LOVED it. It is so fun and fabulous - I got a ton of compliments! I placed my bets on Maximum Security and was so bummed when his win got overturned......even though I lost my money, C and I won second place best dressed couple, so at least there is that! We lost to a couple dressed as a horse and jockey and I'm OK with that. I think I carried the team with this outfit, though - I have always loved retro fashion, in particular the 50s and 60s. This dress is no exception and the pearls compliment it perfectly. I like to imagine my Grandma used to wear something similar to cocktail parties!

I shared in this post that I've always been a pearl girl.....whether they are simple and stately or bold and attention grabbing, pearls are always appropriate! What I love most about this specific pearl strand necklace and drop earring set from Roma Designer Jewelry is that it can be dressed up, like it is here, or dressed down with something simple and classy like a black shirt and denim. Either way, it accentuates an outfit perfectly and makes a statement. I love that this strand of genuine South Sea Shell pearls is a bit oversized (10mm pearls)....it really makes you stand out in a good way! The clasp is actually a round bead made of sterling and inlaid with crystals that twists together! I really appreciate that the necklace still looks OK when the clasp sneaks around to the front and I love how it sparkles. You can see it peaking out in a few of the photos below if you look closely.

This specific collection of jewelry from Roma is designed by Masami Fine Jewelry. They harvest the pearls from the South Sea and perfect them before turning them into jewelry. Each shell is meticulously shaped into a bead which is then polished and coated by Old World Artesians to enhance the beauty. Masami prides themselves on creating their pieces along with nature; I think it is so cool and it makes each piece a natural wonder. The 10mm pearl earrings are made with sterling silver so they won't aggravate sensitive ears and they are finished with a vermeil to prevent tarnish.

If you haven't already figured it out by now, I really love Roma Designer Jewelry! Their pieces are so unique and high quality but they come without the huge designer price tag. Roma works with designers all over the world in big fashion cities, but they cut out the middle man and sell directly to the consumer. They offer pieces for every budget, big and small. You can get an extra 20% off with code AMANDASOK20 + all orders over $50 ship free!

Mother's Day is coming up, as is graduation......I think jewelry always make a memorable, special gift. If you're still in the market for a gift (or if you just want to treat yourself), be sure to check out what Roma Designer Jewelry has to offer. You can thank me later!
