LIVING COLOR: This spring, fashion goes full spectrum.

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

Be careful, though, because it’s a riot out there. When reaching for bracelets, platforms and earrings galore, consider this: Too much color can make you look like a fruit basket. Opt instead for neutral accessories like pearls and sculptural metals. Wood bangles and beads are ideal for that Vuitton safari vibe, while black and white geometric baubles make for perfect Warholian pop. Do go ahead and pile it on. This spring, glamour is in living color.

Elegance is Refusal

Monday, February 16th, 2009

It all started in the 1930s when Coco Chanel, the French designer of “all things glamorous” stated that “Elegance is Refusal”. Her fine jewelry offered the first glimpse of haute couture for women, the vibrantly feminine woman who considered herself ‘powerful while ladylike’. Her fashion jewelry designs were the first ventures into “high-low” fashion whereby exquisite jewels were combined with other stones to add interest and to bring the price point for one or two pieces of fine jewelry out of the “royalty only” range. In many ways, she set a bar that continues to stand. Coco Chanel’s most famous fine jewelry included elegant pins and bracelets.

Ring in the New Year

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

If you do decide to splurge on a semi-precious or precious stone ring, cocktail styles give you a big bang for your buck. Being such head-turners, they’re often best showcased when worn solo, as pairing it with a necklace, bracelet, or earrings can add too much bling and detract from your overall look. With the current state of the economy leaving most of us with a dwindling accessories budget, a cocktail ring is an easy way to make a style statement without spending a fortune.

Let’s Get Fresh

Sunday, December 7th, 2008

This season, I particularly love freshwater styles featuring warm autumnal hues like bronze, peach, and yellow. But no matter their color, their not-so-perfectly-round shape (the result of a culture process that does not involve the implantation of a bead nucleus) adds a unique, eye-catching, and not-so-precious touch to the bracelets, earrings, and necklaces they adorn.

Let’s Get Personal

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

And while it certainly can be, the meaning behind a personal piece of jewelry doesn’t have to be that deep. Coco Chanel pinned a white camellia to her lapel simply because it was a flower she loved. According to Chanel’s website, she “adored the camellia for its almost geometrical roundness and the regular perfection and classic order of its pure white petals.” Now a symbol of the French fashion house, the camellia adorns some of the most jaw-dropping pieces of Chanel’s fine-jewelry collection, in the form of rings, pendants, earrings, and watches.

Wear it Proud

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

This was the point where I said who cares? I like to wear tons of jewelry. And I receive compliments on my quirky style all the time. People are always coming up and touching my pendant, picking it up, flipping it around in their hands or jangling my heap of bracelets which sounds like a wind chime. I think it’s all in how you wear what you wear, not how much of it are you wearing.
