Sweet boy blows savings on precious diamond studs for dream girl. Romantic? Yes. Predictable? Utterly.

Besides, nothing wins a lady's heart like a statement piece from Oie Jewelry.

Liz Oie of Burnsville has been making jewelry for 13 years and has been a staple at Epitome in Galleria.

Her line has recently been picked up by two Manhattan stores -- Callalilai and Foravi. At the former, two of her necklaces were scooped up by Julia Roberts -- who was spotted wearing one in Rome (on the set of "Eat, Pray, Love," no less -- see Thursday's Star Trib for the photo).

Oie uses only 14K gold, sterling silver and precious (emeralds, pearls and rough cut diamonds) and semi-precious stones. Her work ranges from dainty gem-strewn chains to multi-chain necklaces to over-sized vintage pendants (lockets, a real Chanel belt and oversized pieces, such as this one hung with freshwater pearls and beer quartz) remade into contemporary jewelry masterpieces that are on-trend, but not trendy. With such quality materials, an artistic eye for design and impressive craftsmanship, they'll be heirlooms.

Everyone loves a love that stands the test of time.
