The Latest Jewels From Alison Lou Have Us in Our Feelings

Post by PinkDiamond »

Here are more emoji jewels from Alison Lou that are very nice, but if you're interested in them pay attention to whether she used natural gemstones or lab growns since she uses both, and in her pearl necklace she used both natural and a lab grown, which makes no sense to me unless it was to keep the cost down. Her smiley faces are cute, even the one crying, and although I always hate body parts, the Smooch earrings are cute even though I would never buy or wear them. Check these out and see what appeals to you. :)

More than a decade later, Alison Lou continues to entertain us with happiness-evoking jewels, including its latest rendition of emoticons, delightfully dubbed In Our Feelings.

We love that with this new collection you can layer the pieces to show all of your moods and emotions.”

In response to greater demand for pearls, In Our Feelings features an assortment of necklaces and earrings that have pearls as well as other gemstones, many of them lab-created. “I have been using lab-grown colored stones in my collections for years,” Chemla says. “It offers our clients a big look for way less. It also allows us to have more control over the color consistency and clarity of our offering. We try very hard to be price-conscious, and lab-grown colored stones allows us to do so.”
