It’s not often that I see “real” jewelry that I would be willing to pay for. I love the sparkly things as much as the next girl, but you can usually find what you’re looking for without spending the cash to get the real thing. I would make an exception for this Graduated Sapphire Nautical Wave Pendant, though.

While the site describes the necklace as nautical, it seems small enough and subtle enough to wear on a regular basis. I love the varying colors of the sapphires, and the wave looks almost symbolic of the wild, untameable woman who wear the piece. At $399, it’s a little pricy, but certainly no more than a lot of purses or good shoes these days. Given the fact that you can keep the necklace forever, I think it’s actually kind of a deal (love the woman-logic?).
