There are so many options for self-expression nowadays that it’s getting harder and harder to choose the one that fits us best.

For starters there’s tattooing, a gesture far too permanent to satisfy our Sybil-like tendencies. Then we have monogramming, a choice that leaves a bit too much to the imagination. T is for…Tiger? And just when you thought you’d exhausted all the possibilities you learn you can even spray paint your paramour's name right onto your privvies.

While I'm certainly no fashion expert, one thing I do know for sure is that trends come and go but precious metals and diamonds are forever.

Thanks to Lizzie Scheck, forever just got a whole lot more fashionable. Finding inspiration in almost every direction from the apple pendant that was recently given to Gwyneth upon the birth of her baby to a gold and diamond flip-flop that resembles nearly every shoe in my summer arsenal, Scheck's creations are both trendy and timeless.

Great when layered, I love the idea of sporting a theme like Casino Night for you high rollers (add dice, deck of cards, cherries and voila!) or A Day at the Beach for the sun goddesses (think starfish, shell, palm tree & seahorse).

Be warned, Lizzie’s jewelry is sure to cost you a pretty penny ($200 to $4,000) but there’s a good chance you’ll actually find a pretty penny in her collection.

If only it were a credit card.
