This past week at Turtle Love Co. was full of everything that glitters, from gold and silver, to diamonds and sparkly nail polish.

This past weekend, Alicia taught us the best ways to care for some of our rings in her post “On the care and keeping of sterling silver jewelry.” Highlights of the article included answers to frequently asked questions like how to clean silver jewelry that has areas of oxidization in its design and a look at which gems should NOT come in contact with a polishing cloth.

Not all gems are equal when it comes to their care. Pearls, like the one in this Nested White Pearl Engagement Ring, are soft and would be damaged if polished.

On Monday, Vintage Style Council Member Theresa from Despising Life is So Passe shared why she currently loves our Fiona Vintage Diamond Engagement Ring. The ring, which is circa 1950 and features a .14ct brilliant-cut diamond set in a scalloped, raised box setting, was part of a pinboard made by Theresa based around a Fall outdoor wedding reception.

Yesterday, our TLC teammate Emily, who loves painting her nails in new and interesting ways, wrote a post about how to make your engagement ring stand out by painting an accent nail. The ring in her post is our Dainty Blue Topaz Gold Solitaire, which is crafted by Laura Serrafero using 14K satin-finished gold and a 4mm bezel set blue topaz.

We’ve been working on getting all of our newly arrived vintage rings up on the Turtle Love Co. website and even the Turtle Love Committee has been pitching in. They’re seen here attempting to measure our Megan Vintage Diamond Engagement Ring. You can view the ring (with proper non-turtle determined measurements) by clicking here.

Such helpful little turtles!
