This is a picture of the INCREDIBLE Loree Rokin earrings Michelle Obama was wearing at the “Kids Inaugural: We Are The Future” Concert on Monday night. Here are the deets:
White gold and diamond pave rectangle earrings with 12 green sapphire brios
1.09ct of diamonds
17.40ct of green sapphires
The cost of these little gems is $17,500. And yes, they were borrowed.
I don’t understand why everyone is all over Sarah Palin’s case re: $150,000 wardrobe when Michelle Obama was wearing a pair of Loree Rodkin earrrings on Tuesday night that retail for $10,275! Don’t get me wrong, I am OBSESSED with Rodkin’s designs. During the press previews several of us lo-fi editors put on a couple pieces and pretended they were actually a part of our permanent collection. And to be fair, It is unclear where Michelle Obama got these white gold and diamond triple dangles (were they given to her? Did she purchase them at ultra luxe Ikram in Chicago? Did she borrow from her sister-in-law or Joe Biden’s wife? ) but they definitely aren’t fake nor are they affordable… well for me anyway.
P.S. did Mrs. Obama hire a stylist? Just askin’…
