Sample Sale Report: nOir Jewelry

I stopped by the nOir sale yesterday during lunch, which was a little crazy, but still manageable.

There were lots of $5, $10 and $15 earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets, but most of them felt dated. The bangles were all way too big for my wrists, and I think most women would find them rather large in size and a bit too overpowering. The best $10 piece in my opinion was the black statement necklace pictured above.

The true gems at the sale were the pieces from the current collections. Pyramid studs, so hot! Love, love, loved these pieces.
You may recall some of these pieces from a Gilt Fuse a few weeks ago. I don't remember the prices from when they were on Gilt, but I can tell you that the pyramid rings were $65 and current collection necklaces and earrings were $40 at the sale.

There were plenty necklaces and earrings and lots of rings in all sizes.


There were many buckets of $15 rings, but the $30-$45 rings were my favorite - stars, leopard, serpent, pearls.


$45 ring and $40-$45 jeweled bracelets

$15 beaded bracelets & $10 enamel earrings
All in all, it's a good sale and very well organized, and there was a nice selection. I would recommend the sale if you're looking for cocktail rings and statement necklaces and open to spending $40+ per piece.
