New Creation Wednesdays

As new creation Wednesdays continue, so do the glamorous and statement making pieces. I made this earring to match a dress I am wearing for an event I have tomorrow. Love this Swarovski bronze shade crystal as it reflects a bit of blue for the perfect flare. I combined it with heavily plated gold ring and 14kt gold filled earwire. Let me know what you think!

My new creations took a little bump this week as I try to combine these Czech fire polished glass beads with black chains to create a colorblocked look. The final creation will be released as soon as it is ready.

So I found some amazing stones when I shopped in NYC last week to bring you more unique pieces. This new piece is 100% chalcedony stones set in vermeil (gold plated sterling silver setting) that is originally from India. What do you think? 

Do you have what it takes to layer it up?

Although some magazines and trend reports say the thinner the better in jewelry featuring very thin cross necklaces and skinny bracelets, they follow it up by saying, "layer it up".  Whether you choose to wear a single chunky piece or a bunch of thin ones to reflect the same look, you can't go wrong. Here are some of my pieces that are layer perfect.  

Wear alone or with a plain gold chain (short or long) to add some chunk

Combine with silver or dark grey/gunmetal chains.  You might just be seeing this color a lot in Fall 2013. Just saying :o) 

Combine any of these with your favorite watch, bangle or chain bracelet!

A fun day in NYC

One thing I love about living in NJ is being so close to the one and only NYC! Today I spent the whole day walking from one bead heaven to the next in the fashion district to hand pick some more new, exciting and unique components for your favorite jewelry.
