Nov 1, 2016 | Halloween Jewelry
Halloween is right around the corner so of course, I am getting in the spirit with my jewelry this year! While there?s plenty of silly/tacky Halloween jewelry out there that will be perfect to complete your costume, it?s easy to stay fashionable with your jewelry around Halloween as well. As I?ve mentioned in the past, punk jewelry is coming back strong this fall. Punk jewelry can be perfect for Halloween, and don?t be afraid to add a little spooky flare. Here are some of my favorite themes to follow. Bad to the Bone I personally love skeleton jewelry, and it can work with certain looks year round. A rib cage cuff or knuckle ring is a perfect way to really transform an outfit from ordinary to edgy. This ring pictured here by Stephen Webster is so chic! You can also add some skeleton style to your outfit with a skull and crossbones necklace or handbag. Creepy Crawlers Snakes and spiders really bring out the Halloween spirit, but when the holiday season is over, you can still rock this theme with no problem. In fact, gold and silver snake necklaces can liven up pretty much any outfit. This one pictured here by Avant Garde Paris is very classy. A set of spider earrings or a spider brooch can also be worn…

When investing in fine jewelry, it is so important to keep your collection cleaned and cared for. By taking good care of your jewelry, it will keep its value longer and continue to look fabulous as you wear it year after year. We often overlook the smallest details that can make a big difference when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. I?m definitely no exception. Because I wear them so often, I sometimes forget to take care of my favorite pieces. So to help you (and myself) out, I?m going to give some tips that will ensure your jewelry looks its best every day.? 1.Wearing The first part of caring for your jewelry is knowing when you should actually wear it. I have a favorite silver bracelet that I keep on at all times. I even forget to take it off at the gym, which is not good! Sweat and water can harm your jewelry over time, so make sure you remove your jewelry for bathing, manual labor, and active events. Also, don?t put your jewelry on in the mornings until after you have applied lotion, makeup, and perfume. Harsh chemicals can cause your jewelry to tarnish more quickly. Being more mindful of when you should take your jewelry off will help it look better for longer when you have…

I know I’ve talked about wedding style and engagement jewelry a lot lately. But as I’ve mentioned before, I truly feel that your engagement ring is one of the most valuable pieces of jewelry you’ll ever wear, so it should really represent who you are! I just filmed a vlog with Precision Set Fine Jewelry Works, who have really stunning engagement rings that are available in a variety of center stone cuts. I figured exploring diamond cuts and showing how each cut fits with your personality and style could be super helpful. Your center stone is the part of your ring that stands out the most. It’s an important element of your ring, so you want to choose it carefully. Obviously you’ll want to consider the size of the stone, but before you do that, you probably want to settle on a cut. Every diamond cut says something specific about the woman who wears it. Now, some of you may already know exactly what you do and don’t like. But for those of you who aren’t sure, I’m going to tell you what type of personality each diamond cut represents to help you find the ring that best embodies you. I?ll start with the traditional round cut diamond. The round cut diamond is one of the most popular cuts for…
Sep 20, 2016 | Fall Jewelry
This Thursday marks the official beginning of fall! This is very exciting news because with fall comes new fashion, and specifically, new jewelry trends. I love the changing of the seasons, because it gives us the opportunity to completely overhaul our look. Every season, I incorporate something new into my jewelry wardrobe that complements my favorite, will-wear-them-forever pieces. I mentioned chokers in my last post, and I have been loving them for both casual and more elegant occasions. Here are some other interesting trends from New York Fashion Week that will be popular in the coming months. Interesting Earrings While this trend seems a little unorthodox, mismatched earrings are fall?s newest fad. Both celebrities on the red carpet and models on the runway are trying it out. With thi look, earrings should still coordinate in style or color, but should not be identical. I haven’t decided if I’ll be trying this trend out or not, as it is a little out there. However, if you have a bold style and decide to give it a go, comment below and let me know how it goes! A Punch of Punk Punk fashion has made a revival for the first time since the ?90s. Safety pins, unusual piercings, and ear cuffs have all been present on the runway recently. While I?m not…

As many of you may already know, the Emmy awards are this Sunday. What does that mean in my world? Fashion! I love watching awards shows just to see what each celebrity will wear on the red carpet. Of course, my eyes go straight to the jewelry! The jewelry that?s worn with a gown or a suit can make or break the entire look. Thankfully, many celebrities have amazing stylists to do all the work for them. But I want to let you all in on some helpful ways you can bring the celeb red carpet look home. 1. Cuff It Up Cuff bracelets are very trendy today, and celebrities are repeatedly bringing this trend to the red carpet. Cuffs make a statement, and there are so many ways to wear?them. While some celebs go with one simple cuff to complete their look, others will stack multiple chunky cuffs on their?arms. I love wearing a statement cuff bracelet over a tight, long-sleeve dress or top. However you choose to wear them, cuffs are a great way to get noticed and get in touch with your celebrity style! 2. Get Your Neckline Noticed Attention grabbing necklaces have always been in style both on and off the red carpet, but today?s celebrity trends up the ante. Many celebs are wearing long, flashy…
