I think I'm in pre-love. With sterling.

Did you ever have a crush on that older, out-of-reach guy back when you were in high school? (And no, I'm not talking about Edward.) This dreamboat was way out of your league, but then you realized he had a younger brother in your grade who was maybe even cuter and much more accessible. Well, it's possible to have that same exact experience with jewelry.

So you know we love the gorgeous jewelry from Monica Rich Kosann and The Fine Art of Family. But you also know we do more swooning than flaunting, because most of us are too busy paying for preschool to indulge in gold jewelry with many zeros in the price. But now our dreamboat has arrived in the form of the new Fall 2010 Sterling Silver Collection.

With prices starting at $195 and UPS shipping absolutely free for the special preview pieces, it seems like the perfect opportunity to spoil yourself--or demand that someone else spoil you. Whether you love the versatile sterling Scroll Earrings shown above, the more intricate White Topaz Drops, or the hunka-hunka-burning love Patterned Cuff Bracelet, you know you're getting high quality artisan jewelry at an outrageously reasonable price.

But you must act quickly-- these pre-sale deals are only available before August 15, when the full collection is unveiled. And quantities are limited.

So, to keep going with the earlier metaphor, ask the younger, hotter brother on a date now before... um... he gets more expensive this fall? You know what I mean.~Delilah
