In case you have not read or seen the trend report for Fall/Winter 2013, let me sum it up for you...CHUNK. Lots of chunk, play on chains, statement earrings, anything white and black and of course the color of the year, emerald, are all main players in this upcoming fashion season. One of my favorite pieces for Fall 2013 is a combination of gunmetal and silver chains with an asymmetrical twist, which I absolutely adore. Be sure to get noticed once you pair it up with your favorite blouse or dress.
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!
New Creation Wednesdays
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.
New Creations Wednesdays
Like I said, every Wednesday all year round will be a new addition and this one is no different. Another amazing stone that I found in NYC. A medium purple quartz stone combined with gold plated sterling silver and gold filled earwire to give you the best of the best.
Have you checked out wikiBEADia?
Jewelry terminology can be very challenging and confusing to say the least. For that same reason, I created a wikiBEADia on my site to help you better understand what you are investing in. Check it out and let me know what you think! It also has such an awesome necklace chart to help you see where your necklace will roughly fall!
New Creation Wednesdays
Another addition for my favorite fashionistas. This creation features natural druzy/drusy/druse stones in its neutral color to pair with practically, anything!
New Creation Wednesdays
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?

Although I don't have a brand new creation today, I do have this collection of colorblocked earrings to share with you. Which one is your favorite?
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.
