Animal jewelry is cheeky yet glamorous at the same time.  Many of the pieces are very quirky, but, if you wear them with the right outfits, they can look very sophisticated.  Pair animal jewelry with basic colors or neutrals for work.  When going out, try wearing the jewelry with complimentary colors, but don't shy away from putting them with patterns!

I featured a few of my favorite pieces below.  I really love the idea of a serpent ring, but have not found one I am completely infatuated with.  The Keneth Lane one (below) comes close, but I would like mine to be super sparkly and have it wind up my finger more.  I think I will check out Eastern Market next weekend and see if they have anything like that.  I got a cute giraffe bracelet there a few weeks ago (see extreme bottom pic).  My friend, Meredith, has a serpent ring that I absolutely covet, but she had in made specially for her in NYC.  The search continues - will let you know if I find one!
