Best Jewelry At The 2023 Tony Awards

Move over Tony winners, because at the 2023 Tony Awards, it wasn’t just the performances that stole the show – the jewelry that left us speechless! From jaw-dropping diamonds that could outshine the brightest spotlights to earrings so big they needed their own standing ovation, let’s take a front-row seat to the sparkling spectacle and give credit where it’s due: the real stars of the night were…

LEVI/LANI ASHFORD

In an apartment occupied by perpetually silent A and shyly polite Cal, L is who brings the energy. Arrogant, flirtatious and always up for a good time, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone as fun as L. As both a part-time model and an influencer deep in the New York City fashion scene, fun is their job. And part of that fun means finding a variety of different lovers to spend the time because one thing L will not do is settle down. L doesn't believe there's a person out there for them. And even if there is, they don't want to go searching.

L is 26 years old and Levi is 6'2 while Lani is 5'10. They usually dress trendy with a bit of edge. L is quite flamboyant in style and personality and loves flaunting their jewelry and brand-gifted clothing.

L will not stay away from you...until you spook them and give them a reason to.

disclaimer: my 12th anniversary is really close which means i can be insane about my husband

i've been thinking about this for some years (decade????) now and i really like to imagine promise (and later engagement and marriage) ring exchanges.

ashford era would be a super cute double stacked gold ring featuring a pink heart surrounded by moons (in my vision they're moonstone and opal but ig no one has done that yet irl #sad and lelouch's would have to be lowkey but still really cute. probably never worn as supposed, but on a thin chain concealed by the turtleneck.

emperor lelouch era: big, antique and ornate amethyst gold victorian ring probably taken out of the palace's heirloom room or something. if we want to make everyone hate the emperor we need to make clear he dgaf about old traditions or respecting his ancestor's legacies + seeing a non-britannian wear such a thing would cause uproar within the conservative britannian society + it would infuriate the destituted nobles also. lelouch's would obvs have to match with his stupid gay pope robes so rubies + diamonds + gold. needs to look expensive asfuck and be ooak designer made! the emperor deserves only the best ♡

post ZR (on monique's both hands this time since he's died RIP): victorian mourning ring, gold salvaged from lelouch's robes and miscellaneous jewelry, engraved. a braided hair locket ring made with a lock of the emperors hair. never to be taken off

Henry mutters something under his breath as he opens the front door." There better be a good reason why you are waking me up at two in the morning. Come on, out with it." He frowns slightly tempted to shut the door, it was far too early and all he wanted was to sleep.

MEET TINA

Full Name → Tina Elise Cohen-Chang

Age → 32

Birthday → January 15th, 1992

Order & Type → second, solo (adopted)

Gender & Pronouns → cis woman, she/her

Sexuality → bisexual

Occupation → owner of Modern Vintage Boutique

THEIR STORY

Being adopted at birth, Tina never knew the meaning of the phrase “blood is thicker than water”. To her, the family that she was adopted into was everything that she needed, they cared for her and loved her. Because of this, she never felt the need to look into who her birth parents were as she got older. As a child, Tina was full of energy, always singing and dancing along to the radio or the kids’ movies that her parents would put on for her. Shortly after the family made the move from Philadelphia to Ashford Valley, she asked her parents to sign her up for dance at a studio in Allentown. Though she loved to dance on the stage for her recitals, Tina was always far too afraid to sing alone or even go out for the shows at the town’s cultural center, The Stardust Theater. She felt safer, more comfortable being a part of a group, but on her own she got stage fright easily. This stage fright is what led to her faking a stutter when she was in 6th grade, to get out of an oral presentation for a project. 

Tina kept up with the fake stutter, not wanting her teacher to catch on that she was lying about it. This led to some of the other students teasing her for it, some of her friends no longer wanted to hang out with her because of it. Eventually, due to other insecurities that come with becoming a teenager, she quit dance and started to keep more to herself. She still had a few friends who stuck by her, though, eventually the group of them getting into the goth and emo scene. Because her parents wanted her to be true to herself and let her express herself, they agreed to let her wear whatever style she wanted. Though since the price of clothes at typical alt stores like Hot Topic were on the pricier side, this is when Tina began to start thrifting. With her mom’s help, they would alter the clothing to either modernize or darken it.

Becoming talented with thrifting and eventually being able to use the sewing machine herself, this is when Tina ended up volunteering to help out with the school’s drama club, behind the scenes of course. She assisted with making the costumes and eventually this lead to her helping with the glee club’s outfit customizations and even the K-12 summer theater program at the cultural center. It wasn’t long before Tina realized that she herself missed performing and dance recitals, so during her Freshman year of high school she ended up auditioning for glee club and got in. She preferred to stay in the back and sway, though the more she got to know the other members and become closer with them, she became more comfortable, opting to try out for solos. And she was good. She even came clean about her fake stutter, finally dropping the act. 

With a newfound confidence, Tina was also going out for roles in drama club and at the cultural center. Though she didn’t get a lot of solos in glee club or overly big roles in theater, she still had a blast and loved being able to perform. Though she would have loved to pursue performing as a career, she knew that it’d be smarter to put a different hobby to use that would likely insure success in her small town. Opening her own boutique, with thrifted items both in their original style and some upcycled by Tina herself, along with handmade jewelry. She went to college for her degree in business, and with the help of her parents they found a storefront right in town where she opened her shop - Modern Vintage Boutique. She’s had it open for about eight years now and though she runs the store, she still makes sure to have time for the Stardust Theater - both helping out with costuming and auditioning for shows.

For what it was worth, Erin Ashford found himself agreeable to the role of middle child, letting his siblings take center stage in his parents lives, as he faded into the background. Even so he never felt unloved by his family, having a strong bond with both their siblings even now.

Erin was a somewhat peculiar child, a bit unfriendly at times opting to be upfront, fortunate for him his younger sibling made it their mission to call him out whenever necessary, and with time he mastered enough fake interest to pretend pleasantries, which allowed him to create friendships, even so as was his nature Erin did come off as rude at times, something that carried out unto adulthood. Ever since childhood Erin has had a soft spot for museums, especially when it came to art. Most of his birthdays were spent in museums, art galleries or libraries.

It came as no surprise when he decided to further his studies ending up as a professor, a role that suited him well.

[lboogie1906]

Emmett Littleton Ashford (November 23, 1914 – March 1, 1980) nicknamed Ash, was the first African American umpire in MLB, working in the American League (1966-70).

In about 1936, he took a job as a post office clerk, a position he held for 15 years. In the late 1930s, he attempted to play semipro baseball but turned to the umpire when he was asked to fill in for an umpire who did not show up to a game.

He served in the Navy during WWII and was inspired to become the first African American major league umpire while stationed in Corpus Christi when an announcement came on the radio that Jackie Robinson had broken baseball’s color barrier.

By the early 1960s, many West Coast sportswriters began to suggest that he be promoted to the major leagues. In September 1965, his contract was sold to the AL. He made his debut at DC Stadium on April 11, 1966. He became a sensation, becoming known for sprinting around the infield after foul balls or plays on the bases. He brought a new style to being an umpire. He wore jewelry, including flashy cuff links, and wore polished shoes, and freshly pressed suits. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #kappaalphapsi

Formal intro post? Here? Hi!

I'm Nheira and I make jewelry. I draw for fun on the side. ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯

I've been drawing on off for about twenty odd years, but only for the past ten has it been in any meaningful way. I'm new to jewelry, I've only dabbled in it for about a year and started my wee lil' business last July or so. Its a slow going, but that's okay!

That said, I don't post super often here outside of my current queue ( which I believe has been running for two months!! I need to add more to it... ), because its really hard for me to keep up with all of the social medias out there. If you've seen me on other platforms ( ie; Bsky, weibo, etc ), hi again!

This is my master post where you can find all of my relevant links and business information. I've included some photos of my favorite jewelry pieces ( which are also for sale! ) and some of my more recent drawings.

BIOGRAPHY

TRIGGER WARNING: none

All things concerned Vera had a happy childhood, being adopted at the young age of five to the Watkins family was the best that could have happened to her. The youngest of three siblings, Vera had always found herself to be curious of the world around her, soon showing her powers as a witch,  her strength falling into metal manipulation which she would find useful in her future. In her 20’s Vera took the leap and travelled outside of town she had found herself for most of her life to study to be a fashion designer, a path that would lead her to what she truly wanted, making jewelry, part do to the small memento she carried with her from her past life, a small pedant left by her mother, round and silver with a rose quartz in the middle. She treasures it deeply and often uses it as inspiration for her designs. Due to her business, she travels more often than she would like and it was during one of her travels that she came across Ravens Peak and decided that the quaint town would be the prefect place for her to settle. Her dream is to hopefully open her own shop to sell her designs.

Henry liked the beauty that came with the fine things in life, bracelets and necklaces being his favorite, growing quite the collection as he got older. Perhaps he had grown far too ambitious and confident in his work because now he was hiding, the reason why he was in Ravens Peak, what better place to lay low then a small town where no one would look for him there.

BIOGRAPHY

TRIGGER WARNING: None Adrian Ravenlock, knew that there wasn’t a life for him in Ravens Peak, maybe due to the family name that carried weight with it wherever he went or the fact that he had big dreams  for himself that one small town couldn’t contain. Sure he could be responsible he just choose not to, leaving as soon as he could to pursue a career in music. Things didn’t work out all that well at first, it was good magic was on his side and it helped that his ego was ever going to the point that it wouldn’t flatter, never really showing signs of stopping. One thing lead to another and finally Adrian got his big break, his band got some recognition and they were able to tour around the country, he would never admit to it but maybe there had been a bit of an enchantment here and there in the lyrics, just enough to call attention. He does come home every so often, even if he does try to avoid it but now at the age of 58 Adrian feels like he needs to give Ravens Peak a chance, who knows what might happen.

BIOGRAPHY

TRIGGER WARNING: death mention tw, gun tw, murder tw. Darragh was born into a family of Hunters. They were taught from a young age what their place would be in the world, to take pride in what their family did and in the mist of all the stories of grandeur that they had been told it was easy to see why Darra wanted to prove themselves amongst their family, sure they might not understand it all but being an only child it meant that they had to go above to show that they were worthy and for a time it seemed to work. They grew to be a fine hunter, joining a small group of others like them, a sort of second family of their own. Of course things such as this never last forever and eventually Darragh saw more of the world, their perspective slowly changing, it was in this time that they met a woman named Olivia, falling in love for the first, she taught them new things and was a bright light in their world that seemed to be occupied by death. They were ready to walk away from what they knew, no longer the young foolish child they had been, why was it that they were considered the ‘good’ ones, slaughtering whatever supernatural came about, surely they too had families just like them, friends and lovers. Their ideals started to crumble and maybe that is the reason their family started to take notice, far too much questioning on their own part. On a cold night Darragh and their group had been assigned a job, the last one for them, no longer wanting stain their hands with ever lasting blood. It was easy enough, a pack of werewolves, nothing that they hadn’t done before. Darra doesn’t remember much from that night but what they do is, as they approached the pack there was a growl, turning with their gun Darragh had come face to face with one of the wolves but there was something… familiar about their eyes, as if it knew them. Darragh should have seen it then but it had been too late, there was a gunshot noise, the snow red with crimson and then it dawned on them of who lay in it, Olivia. They didn’t take the shot but to them it was as if they had killed her themselves. They reached for her, calling her name as they held her close desperately trying to stop the bleeding, asking for help as the other hunter stood by watching with disgust. What ever devotion they held for their cause fell apart then, they had murdered her when she had done nothing but protect her own, what wrong had they even done? It was then that Darragh made their resolve.  They were disowned by their family, not that they cared much, taking their time to devote to other matters, never sticking to one place for far too long. Of course its only a coincidence that one or two hunters disappear where they visit, nothing to think about. Now they found themselves in Ravens Peak, the rumors of the town far too interesting to stay away.
