Kate Spade Has Branched Out … Into Jewelry!

Filed under Kate Spade

Kate Spade is one of those designers that I have been waiting to branch out.  While I know that Kate is involved with everything from bags, shoes, glasses and clothing she has finally turned her talents into some beautiful works of art – in the form of jewelry!

This is actually just one of the most amazing pieces that I have seen out of her recent collection and to me, this is a beautiful piece.  While of course, Kate actually uses glass instead of a lot of gemstones and she actually cut her gold out of gold plated metal, it is all about cost cutting for the consumer.

In this day and age – Kate wants to make sure stuff affordable and that is why this little gem is so awesome!

Tiffany & Company Is Taking A Stand

Filed under Tiffany & Co

While I know that everyone in the world is following some type of trend and I know that right now – the trend in jewelry is coral jewelry, but Tiffany & Co is actually trying to change that.  Recently, they redid their window display and have made it under the sea, in order to promote the fact that coral is actually a living and breathing thing.

While it might seem like Tiffany & Co is just trying to push their pieces of jewelry like this, they are actually trying to make a statement.  Coral is not something that belongs in our jewelry or on our wrists, it is something that needs to certainly be taken care of.

That is why the Too Precious to Wear collection was designed and this is actually just one piece out of it.

Harry Winston — Chic and Trendy: 2

Filed under Diamond

Now that we have touched a little bit on Harry Winston and the status that this particular brand has, let’s go ahead and touch on something else that I did not mention in the other blog – the fact that Harry Winston is exclusive and that you have to make an appointment to actually see the jeweler – or get inside the store.

The reason for that is because this particular jewelry brand is so awesome, so trendy and by far the best and timeless brand, you can not get it just anywhere.  You want a brand that is going to be exclusively yours and awesome?  That is what Harry Winston is.

Forget Tiffany’s.  The first is the best and that is what this brand is about.  I mean, look at the ring.

Jewelry is something that can be extremely timeless, can be extremely beautiful and can certainly be something that is different and unique.  That is what Harry Winston jewelry is all about.  It is trendy, timeless, chic, fashionable and all around beautiful in every form of the word.

Personally, I think that Harry Winston jewelry is actually a status, as not everyone can afford this particular kind of jewelry but it is definitely jewelry to lust after.  In the next couple blogs, we are going to talk about what Harry Winston means to me and what Harry Winston is all about.

Filed under watch

One piece of jewelry that is not only timeless but it will actually make sure that you stay on time as well is the Rolex.  This particular brand is known for their luxury watches and I can tell you for sure that this Valentine’s Day, I am all about getting a brand new Rolex for my girl.

One new Rolex that I have fallen deeply in love with is the Rolex Day-Date.  It is actually one of the coolest watches in the world and while it is just under $50,000 – it is so worth it!  Not only do you get the Rolex name, but you are getting a platinum watch that everyone knows.

You want luxury?  You want something different this Valentine’s Day?  Rolex is the name you want to look to!

Make Yourself a Starlet

Filed under necklaces

Rarely have I come across an entire line of jewelry that I like. I am just that kind of person — I rarely like all the songs on a single album, or every book by a single author … you get the idea.

But the Starhaven Starlets line of jewelry? I love every single piece in the designer line. All silver, all gorgeous, all amazing, all completely one of a kind — I am completely in love.

A great lover of the fleur de lys, I am particularly a fan of that pendant, but they are all absolutely stunning.

Keep your eyes peeled, folks: for a designer line, these pieces are extremely affordable, with each one going for $110 or less.
