Books taught me pretty much everything I need to know about love. Fortunately (for myself and for the men who date me) most of that teaching happened before I got my hands on a copy of Twilight. That said, Twilight, and now The Hunger Games, served to underscore one of the most important truths I’ve gleaned from literature: love triangles, though entertaining to read about and watch on the big screen, are generally a bad idea, as they very often end in death.
For evidence of this sneaky universal law you need look no further than The Great Gatsby, which for those of you who haven’t read it (beware: I’m about to get blasphemous) is basically a high end Twilight. Set in the roaring twenties, every page of The Great Gatsby is sticky with romance, scandal and extravagance, but perhaps more importantly, all of the drama happens among Long Island’s ridiculously well dressed high society!
In a word, the essence of The Great Gatsby is “opulence,” and while the love triangles can stay on the book’s pages, the wardrobe is covetable to say the least. That said, you need covet no longer ladies, because Ben-Amun’s Opulent collection is now on sale. Hitting the website earlier this week, the Opulent collection blends moonstone, Czech glass beads and pearls, and Swarovski crystals to create romantic, high-impact pieces for the warmer months.
As luxurious as East Egg and as desirable as Daisy, Ben-Amun’s Opulent Collection can be paired with the simplest of linens or the most intricate of bridal gowns, and can be yours today with the help of
www.ben-amun.com. Check out some of my favorite’s below. To entertain myself they’ve been arranged as cross-collection love triangles. So rather than Team Peeta, you can root for Team Torsade Necklace! Or, place an order today and make the magic happen at home!
