Little known story: when I was in high school, after I’d submitted my check to my undergrad alma mater, I watched Top Gun (for the first time in years). And in the weeks that followed watching it, I wondered if I was making the right choice going to college, when I could join the navy and fly planes.
It’s not unusual for me to have these fits of insanity after watching films– Jurassic Park made me want to be a paleontologist, Silence of the Lambs & the X-Files are why I originally went to school to study criminal justice, and the Mickey Mouse Club made my wee 3 year old heart want to be a performer. While my love of flight hasn’t changed, I don’t regret not taking the military life…
When I first saw these necklaces by Swank featured on Miss Malaprop, it was love at first sight. I felt the same when I saw The Clothes Horse’s planes ring. While I can’t land an F1-15 plane, I can certainly have packages delivered to my doorstep.

Now that it’s almost Thanksgiving, I feel confident and comfortable saying these will be on my “Dear Santa” wishlist.

OMG– those fighter plane rings are amazing! Tough and luxe at the same time.

Normally I’m a little put off by violent things turned kitsch in fashion (like the ubiquitous guns) cuz I’m a square like that, but I have to admit that little bomb charm is cute.

the rings are pretty darn awesome.
Incredible rings. Love them.
Those are gorgeous. I’ve seen so many awesome rings today, these tie first with the vampire teeth rings I saw somewhere earlier. ^_^

Oh my goodness, those rings are amazing!! I love when they make little nerdy jewellery like that. I was *this* close to buying a little trinket phone box at the end of the last season of Doctor Who :) Hi by the way! Loving the blog so far, looking forward to reading more:)

Those rings are cute! Movies have that effect on my sometimes as well – I even considered being a wedding planner in a moment of weakness…

I’m totally the same way…when I was little and saw The Wizard of Oz for the first time i was convinced that I was going to be a Good Witch when I grew up, and then I saw Star Wars and decided that becoming a Jedi totally topped witchdom…even in my 20’s I continue to have equally unrealistic professional asspirations. Just saw the new Star Trek and believe me, I will become an Alien linguist :)
the jewelry looks stellar. And thanks so much for stopping by the blog!!
