Stephen Dweck - Smoky Quartz & Black Agate Ring When clawing your clutch it is important to remember a couple of things. First is to get a manicure with a corresponding polish, of course. Second is to add splash with a statement ring. Never mind what your boyfriend/ fiance / husband / boy-toy got you. This is a gift for you, from you, so do it right with this smoky quartz number from Stephen Dwerk. It will go with everything but honey, but it's no plain Jane.
