Jewelry has been on my brain for the past couple weeks! As many of you know, I have recently become a consultant for "Touchstone Crystal," a direct selling company, member of the Swarovski crystal corporation. The beautiful pieces I have received, and shared with friends, have inspired me to share my love of jewelry with all of you! Jewelry is a conversation starter, an eye catcher, a little friend that will spark up your mood! Now, who doesn't love to sparkle? Whether it be a little gleam of light, or a sparkle so bright it reflects off th
e walls! The idea is to make a statement, to inspire a "wow" from all. As the all wise and ever so fabulous Rachel Zoe has said, "There is gorgeous costume jewelry out there, pieces that sparkle with cubic zirconia, Swarovski crystals, and faux gold that resembles the real thing." See, Even Rachel Zoe loves Swarovski!! I have already written about my favorite piece of jewelry, the cocktail ring, but now want to focus on some jewelry box basics. A life of sparkle and glamour begins with some basics. Real os faux, these basics can go from day to night, mixed, layered, or worn alone. Here are a list of basics from Rachel Zoe's book," Style, A to Zoe":*Diamond Studs, real or fake
*A statement-making cocktail ring
*Simple hoop earrings, white or yellow metal
*A big pair of "wow" earrings can glam up any outfit in a snap!
*A strand of pearls, real or faux
*A watch
*A simple chain for everyday, with a charm that is personally meaningful. This piece becomes your signature. Mine is a layer of two sterling silver chains, one with a letter J (for my son) and another with a letter E (from my best friends, when I turned 30...Love u JEM!)
*A bracelet, be it a bangle or a cuff
*A dressy necklace or pair of earrings, It can sparkle wi
th diamonds, crystals(preferably the most
sparkly of them all, Swarovski). Make sure it's something that makes you feel instantly dazzling!
Here are a few of my favorite basics:
1. Millionaire's Club earrings (top)
2. Safari Cuff (top)
4. Black Diamonds Ring (I LOVE!)
5. Key to Happiness (necklace)
6. The Big Easy Earrings (hoops)
If you are interested in any of these glamourous pieces, they can be purchased online here, or just let me know!!
