Things I would buy only if I had excess cash, i.e. cash from stock earnings. These would not come from my salary.

1) Cartier Steel Pasha Seatimer Black Dial. Too many people I know own Tag Hauers. Elegant and timeless, yet not cookie-cutter steel. I imagine owning this one for life. Maybe a good 30th Birthday present to myself, no? *grin*

2) Rings from Brilliant Earth. Sustainable, conflict-free diamonds and recycled gold/platinum.


Absolutely magnificient settings. Below are some of my faves:

Platinum or white gold Antique Scroll setting

Luxe Pavé Diamond Wedding ring

Antique Poplar ring
