Our holiday windows are still in the process of going in, and are already *quite* a delight. I don’t know about you, but I totally plotzed when I saw that eye-poppingly stunning bountiful multi-colored, multi-layered Sapphire necklace taking up residence in the window when I left the shop the other night. I just had to grab a shot of it for you, with the bare hint of our bustling NYC street reflecting through! Swipe to get a close up gander of that magnificent necklace! #holidaywindows #christmasdecor #christmasinnyc #nycchristmas #christmasornaments #christmastree #sapphire #sapphirejewelry #sapphirenecklace #raimbowsapphire #multicoloredsapphires #rainbowjewelry #moreismore #maximalism #decadence #statementjewelry #statementnecklace #christmasgifts #holidayjewelry #fashion #style #happyplace #shopsmallbusiness styleinspo #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClrjrdaO7_f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
