My True Blood Party Style

June 13, 2010 by WendyB

Tonight I’m at gorgeous blogger Tina’s apartment to watch True Blood‘s season 3 premiere. My jewel for the evening is a luxe version of the silver Vampire Diana ring from Friday’s post.

The silver ring has a silver heart and silver stake that was made all as one piece (fewer parts means lower labor costs). There’s no detail on the blackened stake. In contrast, the luxe version has a heavy gold heart and silver stake, each made separately. The stake has the same “wood grain” detail that the silver stake necklace has.  Here it is on gorgeous blogger Stacy’s elegant hand.

18K gold heart ring pierced by silver stake. Click to buy all-silver version.

The silver stake can be pulled out of this particular ring. I won’t be doing that for any additional rings in this style, making this one-of-a-kind. I haven’t priced it yet, but if you want to inquire, you can email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com. Remember that the “dress for less” options are the Vampire Diana ring and necklace in silver, both $450, and the silver stake necklace for $95.

Shhhhh! The show’s starting!

UPDATED TO ADD: You can follow a number of True Blood characters on Twitter. Normally I don’t like automated direct messages thanking me for my follow but I loved the one from EricNorthman that said:

“I see you are following me. I will offer you but one warning — I would not try anything rash if I were you. I’m still hungry.”

I’m trying to think of something rash to do, STAT.

In addition to Eric, here are some other True Blood Twitter options:

  • TrueBloodHBO
  • SookieBonTemps
  • PamVampTB
  • AlicideHerveaux
  • VampireBill

    Wendy, the luxe version is incredible! I could see myself pulling out the stake and poking obnoxious guys with it. PS- Spike is the superior vampire. No contest!

    ok, that’s it, I’m starting a ring savings account because I obviously need it!!

    True Blood was awesome though what was up with that dream scene with Sam and Bill? It seemed really random… I keep trying to think about how they’ll work a why into the story later and I keep getting confused, ahah

  32. drollgirl says

    June 14, 2010 at 4:46 pm

    i would like to do something REALLY RASH with eric. but i guess if it is premeditated it isn’t rash? whatever. i’d still like to. 🙂

    Fab ring!

  37. Denise @ Swelle says

    June 14, 2010 at 8:06 pm

    Holy crap! That’s the intro?? Or did I just unwittingly do acid? I’m not sure if we have the new season here yet, my husband has been watching the previous seasons. I tried but it offended my tender sensibilities. Ha!

    Super cool ring. I want to bite it. (That is actually not a vampire reference, I have a compulsion to hold the stake between my teeth!)

  38. Chic and Charming says

    June 15, 2010 at 10:46 pm

    I adore Eric, he is my favorite character in the books. So damn sexy. I wish I had HBO. I wish I had that ring.
