Jeans and a T-shirt seemed to Bridgette to be the best combination for this ring and the company party. The ring, a black marcasite jade band, was a given. When Jenna showed up in slacks, a white silk blouse and pumps, Bridgette was miffed. “I distinctly remember saying ‘casual’ in the email,” she told her protégé excitedly. “Trying to upstage your boss isn’t going to make you more attractive to the higher-ups.” Jenna, taken aback, said, “I thought you told me to dress for the job I want, not the job I have.” Bridgette thought and then replied, “That’s only true so long as it’s not my job.”

Go retro in style with this ultra-classy .925 sterling silver band, studded in antique style with rows of marcasite and two center bars of shiny, black enamel.
