No news just the most liked jewellery from my Instagram
Today is March 17, 2022. It’s the noon of the full moon. There’s enough serious stuff going on, so no long reads, only nice long scrolls with yesterday visuals in the end.

An astrologist I follow said that right now it’s better to stay far from our surreal news-formed reality, clean the space from old stuff, think about something we want to achieve in the future, and prepare. Stay tolerant of the feelings of others, empathy should help. And don’t trust someone else’s visions, it's a time of illusion.
“Check twice, think for yourself” was an advice.
On that I leave you without news, because all of them are quite shitty, no other words for that. Pardon my French. Let’s look into something that has no other meaning than being what it is - a jewellery. Quite a positive subject. Beautiful. Plus it will be jewellery you chose to like and shared the most last two years. The keywords are “you chose”. I’ll make my favourite selections later.
Here’re 36 most popular pieces. It’s not a rating list because that’s not about quality of photography, design or gems. Just about little things that are made to enjoy life or were the result of pleasure and work.
Note: This list is quite long, so it’s easier to open it in the browsers or in the Substack app, not as an email. The reason - I decided to keep all the original Instagram posts so you could dive for the fully linked credits and details in the sliders, in case of you want to know more about the creations or creators.

A digest from my Instagram for March 16th, 2022
6.00am zakharova_kaetano Good morning 🌞 Each day brings news that challenges my sanity, each morning I need to “regroup” and fight back - to circumstances, business decisions of others people, sanctions or whatever crap is falling on my head. I know the war zone isn’t where I live, but the life I live isn’t a peaceful one. And I’m just one person among billions of others, living the same shit different details. That’s a contrast to remind myself that they survive somehow, and I will too. No matter how big and absolute it seems to me, in my head and about me. In relation to others it’s bearable and manageable. How are you this morning? Don’t forget to subscribe 🙏 (links are in bio and in highlights “find me”)#haveagoodday here’s @andreatakesvogue designed fake cover Vogue with #LindaEvangelista by #StevenMeisel, june 1990.
