I have long loved the look of earrings going up the ear. And the Met Gala last Monday night reignited my passion for the twenty-first century style. No one wore the look better than Jessica Alba, who flaunted these stunning diamond, white gold and black rhodium serpents. The sexy snakes are jewelry game changers. They make all my beloved studs look way too simple and my dangling pendants seem passé. All I want now is sparkle covering my lobes!
