About Me: Mr. Cupcake and I hit it off at a Halloween party and immediately began a long-distance relationship. After two years, he moved to my neck of the woods, and a year and a half after that, he proposed at the “place we fell in love.” I am a true perfectionist who enjoys designing and creating more work for myself, so wedding planning is my perfect outlet. Mr. Cupcake and I are both old souls, and we hope to weave that aspect of our personalities into our wedding day.
Accessorize Me, Part Two
May 13th, 2008 @ 12:45 pm by Miss Cupcake
Last weekend when Mr. Cupcake and I were visiting Bro & SIL Cupcake, we found ties for the guys and earrings for me at the mother of all Macy’s. The day after we returned from our New York visit, I had an appointment to try on my recently-arrived veil with my dress at The Wedding Touch, so it was the perfect opportunity to try the earrings on with the whole ensemble. I apologize that I don’t have any photos of me with the earrings on, but needless to say, they just didn’t do it for me. I’m trying to go for more of a relaxed look and the earrings just looked too…. structured, or something.
As always, my style-hero SIL Cupcake came to the rescue. Once she sent me the link to Lunessa.com, I fell in love with these stunning earrings:
These Freshwater Pearl cluster earrings are so so so so pretty; I like that they have pearls but still have a little bling with the Swarovski crystal accents and CZ teardrops. You can choose between sterling silver (shown) or 14 Karat gold, as well as this beautiful version with peachy pink pearls and gold:
Unfortunately, the $118 price tag (or $125 for the gold/peach versions) is a little bit more than I was hoping to spend on earrings. I decided to keep looking and simply use these images as inspiration. *Sigh….*
Then, though, I was pleasantly surprised when I showed the photo of these earrings to my dad and stepmom, and they offered to buy these for me as a birthday present (in August) to wear on the wedding day. I was very excited and touched! It will be nice to wear something that is a gift from my dad and stepmom, and it will make the earrings more of a keepsake for me.
I’m still hesitant to make such a purchase without seeing the earrings in person, but luckily I’ll be back in NYC next week for work and I can stop by Lunessa in SOHO to see them up close and personal. Right now I am thinking that the peach pearls will look so pretty and vintagey with my gown.
Has anyone else purchased their wedding jewelry from Lunessa?

these are perfect and I love the peachy pink ones! Would you mind posting a picture of you wearing them once you purchase them so that we can see them to scale? Thanks!
I love them! I saw a similar pair on Etsy from Handwired.
@Kate: they are very similar! I am going to keep Handwired bookmarked in case the Lunessa earrings don’t work out 
@Miss Candy Corn: I am leaning towards the peach ones, too! Aren’t they delightful?
Post the pics on Etsy Alchemy (is it legal to do that) and see if someone will make them for way less money!
I love Lunessa jewelry! The owner, Elise, used to sell her handmade jewelry on a streetcorner in Union Square here in NYC, and I’ve been buying from her since before she had a store! She is extremely nice and her jewelry is absolutely beautiful and very well-made. She will even shorten bracelets for you if you have small wrists (like me!).
no… but I did buy my dress at The Wedding Touch! ha! how have we not talked about this before!? They were great. I love the earrings you’ve chosen!
I don’t know anything about Lunessa - but i was just looking at some of my internet bookmarks - i’m looking for bridesmaid earrings - and i found some similar earrings at
everything-angelic.com I just thought i’d tell you. They aren’t exact - but they are similar - and are 45 dollars.
