Circles and Hoops

I love delicate charms and styles that can withstand the test of time when it come to my jewelry. My two favourite pieces this season are from Lisbeth Jewelry. I am wearing either one or the other around my neck and sometimes both at the same time.

The “Ave” necklace ($86) is a lustre of textured vermeil circle pendants that hang delicately from a 23″ gold fill chain. I liked this one so much I also bought it in sterling silver ($82). What I love about this piece is that it works so nicely with a dress blouse as well as with my basic v-neck tee-shirt. The length of the necklace sits just perfectly across my collarbone.

The “Tanya” necklace ($89) is a collection of unique hand carved rings in … more …

I’m In the Mood

Internationally renowned designer Elsa Peretti comes out with a must have fashion accessory for summer: a ring that captures the essence of the ocean displaying elegantly colored cabochon gemstones set in precious metals.

The stone is like a three dimensional orb, reminding me of a mood ring I use to have when I was a little girl. It’s available in three colors: green jade, turquoise and black jade set high either in a setting of 18 karat gold or sterling silver.

Elsa Peretti® cabochon gemstone rings are available exclusively at Tiffany & Co. Take a look for yourself and visit the Vancouver location at 723 Burrard Street. You can also make purchases on the Tiffany website at www.tiffany.ca, or by calling 1-800-265-1251.

Bold Bangles

This fall/winter is about making a statement with your jewelry. It’s easy to give volume to an outfit simply by accessorizing with the right pieces.

Bold bangles are a key wrist item this winter. The chunkier the better - adorned with gems, stones and floral appliques. It’s all about over exaggeration, so don’t worry too much if you have thin wrists like me.

This is the one time I can say more is more and it’s ok.

The Key To My Heart

Do you admire the Tiffany key necklace but would rather pay your  monthly car bills instead? Well, you can still get the look for less by sporting the “key pendant” necklace ($87.00) by local Vancouver designer, Lisbeth.

This hand carved clover key necklace is made of sterling silver and hangs delicately on a 28 inch sterling chain. Wear it on it’s own or layer it along with other short chained necklaces for a more bold look.

Get the look without feeling the guilt.

Fringe Baby

It’s about the only way I would ever wear fringe and this necklace by ‘A Farmer’s Daughter’ does the trick. I first laid eyes on it as it was hanging off  Rebecca Tay’s (Western Editor of Fashion Magazine) neck and I had a bee in my bonnet for it ever since.

I was able to find one at Nouvelle Nouvelle so I am a happy camper today.  It makes a statement without being too overbearing. Made of subtle leather and gold metal chain links, it comes in grey, navy and black for $44 CDN.

I’ll be wearing it proud!
