Fancy Dress Friday: “exploring the alternatives” edition

With the onset of cooler weather in the Northern hemisphere, we’ve been falling in love with rose gold all over again! Its color not only reminds us of the beautiful changing leaves of fall but it has a warm feeling that is comforting to see as we get ready for winter. On Tuesday, Aubin showed us two different styles of rings offered at Turtle Love Co. made from this gorgeous metal: the modern, streamlined designs of Jeannie Hwang and the more textured, organic rings by Dahlia Kanner and Midori Ferris Wayne.

We recently put out a call for questions on our Facebook page and received many interesting ones (if you have a question about anything jewelry-related, just email [email protected])! Many people are interested in learning about alternatives to traditional wedding and engagement rings so Alicia and Emily put together articles that help explore some of the alternatives out there. Alicia’s article about “rings that walk the line” gathered together some rings from Turtle Love Co. that transcend common stereotypes of gender and mix both feminine and masculine style elements. Emily looked at some engagement rings and wedding bands in her article that aren’t your standard plain gold ring, including our sterling silver Laurel Leaf Ring by Laura Serrafero.

In other exciting news we had our first local meetup of the Vintage Style Council this past Wednesday. The Vintage Style Council is group of bloggers from around the world who help us spread the word about Turtle Love Co. and we recently let them name a collection of vintage engagement rings (which you can view on our site here). Erin from Just Plain Lovely, Laura from Fore Front Fashion, Alivia from Brunch in April, and Laura from Sweeter Salt joined us at Flatbread in Portland for a lovely dinner and some excellent conversation where we talked about everything from our pet dogs to the differences between New York and Portland and everything in between! Thanks to the Maine members of the VSC for coming out to the meetup and we can’t wait to have more gatherings in the future!

That’s all for now from Team Turtle Love Co.! We have some exciting announcements about a new service and new products next week, but if you’d like a preview in the meantime just hop on over to A Practical Wedding and read Adrianne’s guest post about what’s new at TLC!
