Toward the end of July and early August, stores start to put more items on their summer clearance sales rack. Handpicked, a jewelry store with locations all over North and South Carolina (and even in my hometown in Georgia), is offering a sale on July 30 that you don't want to miss — especially if you're a lover of the sparkling.

Tomorrow only, take an extra 50 percent off all summer clearance items.

As I scroll through their website, I'm dying on the inside, trying so hard not to whip out my credit card.

For an idea of what kinds of pieces they offer, here's a black diamond necklace that I would love for a handsome gentleman to purchase for me.
