The car that she gave away may have drawn the most attention, but among the many things Oprah gave her audience in her two-part “Oprah’s Favorite Things” show were a pair of Judith Ripka earrings handpicked by the talk-show queen. The canary Eclipse Earrings retail for $525 and are appropriately now being referred to as the Judith Ripka “Oprah” Earrings. The yellow canary crystals are surround by white sapphires and sterling silver. $525 is an awesome price point for fine jewelery and you definitely will get a high-impact look no matter what you pair these with. I could see them going beautifully with a low cut or strapless black LBD or floor-length gown with hair pinned back. These are totally giving me the urge to dash to my closet and play dress up!
Sorry, crystal and sterling silver does not make fine jewelry. I am getting more than a little annoyed at the prices of some pieces made from cheap materials. I can only imagine what the margin is on these pieces.
True, but can you imagine the margins a brand like Tiffany sees!?? $500 sterling silver bracelets! Not to mention cheap-o brands that sell $.20 cent pieces that last one wear for $25… I was drawn to these earrings for the amount of high impact “look” you get..I actually think they look like what they cost and could totally see myself wearing them to a black tie wedding or event. I’m also partial to yellow gemstones…none of that blue sapphire Kate Middleton business for moi!
Gorgeous and very aristocratic. These are timeless.
