Delight of the Day: Ariel Gordon Jewelry

If I had to pick a shopping splurge it would be on jewelry. More specifically, I'd pay more than usual for a piece of jewelry I can wear every day. With that goal in mind, it seems an initial pendant necklace designed by Ariel Gordon may be in my immediate future.

I met the LA-based designer at the Red Light PR preview in New York City. Ariel is a former publicist who started making jewelry as an escape from the hectic job in Hollywood pr. She launched her eponymous collection of simple, modern jewelry made with sterling silver, gold, vermeil metals, semi-precious stones, and diamonds in 2009.

Her pieces -- including initial pendant (she created her own funky font) and Zodiac sign necklaces, geometric-shaped rings, and sweet hoops-and-stud earrings -- are reasonably priced ($30 and up) and meant to be flaunted from day to night.

Eva Longoria, Claire Danes, and Audrina Patridge are fans. So am I. Heck, Ariel's so crafty she even designed her own engagement ring.

Shop for Ariel Gordon Jewelry on her website and via her Etsy store.

Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore. I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued. I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store. And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and
