Etsy Find :: Studio 1040

Luxury to many people means spending copious amounts of money to have the finer things in life that others cannot afford. I am here to tell you that is so far from the truth! Luxury is not about spending money and breaking your bank it is about living comfortably within your means…and if your means are less than abundant, comfortable luxury is key and attainable. Often times we overlook the little luxuries that we have and take for granted that others do not. Now do not get me wrong, I love the glamorous life but if  it means sacrificing comfort {a nice stash in my bank account is my comfort in this economy} then I will have to go without. I think Coco Chanel said it best 

Which leads me to my latest find. In keeping with the “luxe” theme on Inside the Lovely this month, I could not wait to share  Studio 1040. Studio 1040 is a jewelry boutique on Etsy that has  the prettiest rings and necklaces made with seriously gorgeous gems in every color. Every piece is an intense labor of love created by  jewelry designer Jacqui G. in her studio in Los Angeles, California. If you are the bride looking for a special ring and would happily wear an engagement ring that is not a diamond, this pretty boutique just might be the place to find your ring. The prices are amazingly affordable so your guy will not have to save three months salary or eat peanut butter sandwiches for a year to buy you that special ring. Take a look…
