Where we're buying our jewelry this summer...

Posted on June 08, 2012 by Melanie Charlton

Just when we thought we’d curbed our jewelry addiction, here comes I Love Jewelry Auctions –a genius fixed-price jewelry auction hosted on Facebook three nights a week.

Here’s how it works: the talented jeweler Jordann Weingartner, who launched the page this past January, scores a mix of on-trend costume pieces, designer-inspired baubles, and even fine-jewelry items and marks them at discount prices. Then each Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday evening at 8:30 pm EST, she introduces roughly 60 unique styles on the page, and the “bidding” begins. When those killer turquoise earrings or that quartz pendant necklace catches your eye –as it inevitably will –all you have to do is comment “sold,” pay the invoice Jordann’s team emails you, then wait for the item to arrive (free of charge) at your door step.

(At which point you’ll of course store it in one of our off-the-chain jewelry cases.)

The whole process is fun (you’ve got to act fast – the page has over 60,000 fans with their eyes on your prize) and, most importantly, the jewelry is as easy on the eyes as it is on the wallet. Just check out these beauties we recently spotted –but sadly, didn’t win!
