2008-12-03T10:48:00.000-08:00

Cynthia Rowley Fall 2008

If there's one piece jewelry that you must own this season, it is the statement necklace. A statement necklace is usually oversized, chunky and unusual. When you put it on it will automatically become the focus of your outfit, and it should say something about your personality.

In case you're in a financial pinch (as most of us are), there's no need to worry. You can find great affordable necklaces that will help you spice up your wardrobe.

My picks are after the jump.

And we're sure you've imagined the moment your Prince Charming slipped that picture perfect wedding ring on your finger. Every girl has her own idea of what exactly comprises the perfect ring.

That's why we love browsing websites like Sylvia's Antiques which has an incredibly comprehensive selection of rings. It's a website that's perfect for the ring fanatic in all of us. I particularly love the contemporary collection. It's sexy, sleek, and classic. Perfect for the modern woman.

You might remember tv star Tori Spelling as Donna Martin on the Gex X classic Beverly Hills 90210 or more recently you might have seen her on VH1's So Notorious or Tori & Dean Inn Love on Oxygen. Tori Spelling's had some ups and downs during her time in the spotlight, but now her career has taken another turn. She now sells her jewels on the Home Shopping Network and surprisingly they're pretty cute.

Luxe Jewels by Jay Ahr

2008-09-10T11:40:00.000-07:00

Insiders have been whispering about Jay Ahr, a new line of charming, easy frocks designed to take a girl from the office to a night on the town and back again, since it arrived in Bergdorf Goodman early this year. For fall, Jay Ahr's Paris-based Belgian designer, Jonathan Riss, has started making similarly effortless bijoux. The jewels range from precious diamond solitaires to these chunky oxidized pendant necklaces, which we think are perfect for those days when your shoulders could use a break from that door knocker-sized crystal necklace from Lanvin.

Farandole Bracelet: Louis Vuitton

2008-09-08T09:09:00.000-07:00

Would you spend $400 on this bracelet? Yeah, it's kind of cute, and the name Louis Vuitton is a bit appealing. I'm a bit of a label ho, but I try to make sure that my lavish purchases aren't too ridiculous. Stars have been loving the new camouflage or monogramoflage line by LV.

Frey Wille Cabochon Earrings

2008-09-05T08:45:00.000-07:00

Frey Willie Earrings

Have you ever heard of Frey Willie? Well, until last week neither did I. But after taking a look around their website I just don't understand why this Austrian based company hasn't achieved wider acclaim. I love these multicolored cabochon earrings. They're perfectly summer like. Though I can't tell you where you might purchase them, you could head on over to their website and request a price.

Tiffany 183 Circles Pendant

2008-09-03T09:02:00.000-07:00

Tiffany Voile bar pendant, $3,600

Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed that one day I'd receive one of those gorgeous robin's egg blue boxes. I'm an adult now, and I've yet to receive one, but I'm constantly dreaming of the day when a gift from Tiffany's will magically appear before me. I adore this necklace. It's gorgeous.

Retro Butterfly Necklace

2008-06-20T07:52:00.000-07:00

Forever21 is one of my favorite stores, but I never thought of them for their jewelry. Now that they're trying to expand, they're definitely stepping their game up and this gorgeous necklace is proof. It looks so expensive. I never would guess it's less than $15. I'm excited to see what the minds at F21 will come up with next!.

I know we've heard a lot about the fashions that graced the screen in the Sex and the City movie, but until now I haven't seen a lot about the jewels. This gorgeous necklace by Jami Rodriguez was worn my Kim Cattrall during the poolside scene in the much anticipated feature film. It's so gorgeous that I've contemplated picking one up for myself.

, $28; , $45; , $45

What comes to mind when you think of Baby Phat? It's probably not jewelry.

Kimora Lee Simmons, ever the entrepreneur, is seeking to expand her empire with the revamping of her brand including a new line or jewelry. And unlike some of the clothing items I've seen. The Baby Phat signature kitty is much more subdued on the pieces of jewelry making them look much more high-end. If you're interested, be sure to take part in the sale!

I'm not sure how they do it, but the Target crew always manage to get the greatest pieces from these designers at amazingly low prices. The newest addition to the roster CFDA Accessory Designer of the Year Nominee Justin Giunta of Subversive Jewelry. Here's the scoop:

The Subversive for Target collection will be available at select Target stores nationwide and at Target.com March 23 through July 20, 2008.

This collection includes an eclectic mix of charm bracelets, delicate drop earrings and bold multi-color block necklaces. Key pieces include the jeweled locket fringe necklace, the tri-strand faux pearl necklace and the red butterfly brooch cuff bracelet.

Jewelry Trends: Spring 2008

2008-03-13T02:08:00.000-07:00

Spring has sprung, and of course there are a whole new crop of jewelry trends. Here are the top 4.

Wood: Not Just for the BOHO Chic
Wood cuffs are all the rage this season – from marbled wood to rich colors, our wrists have never been so fabulous. Find wood in big, chunky bangles or pair a couple of these at a time for the same high-style impact.
Isharya Sunburst Cuff, $250
Bridget Lynne Designs Cuff Bracelet, $52
Roberto Cavalli Wood Cuff, $315

Statement Pieces
This season, statement pieces deserve their very own category. This look has built slowly over the past few years, but now these sizeable beauties are the biggest thing going. Examples range from audacious medallions to oversized and vibrant pendant necklaces.

Marc Jacobs Square Gems Necklace, $158
Square Studs, $14
Kenneth Jay Lane Gold Triple Pyramid Cuff, $295

Layered Necklaces
After several seasons in the spotlight, the layered necklace look is still showing up on the runways and fashion magazines. Admired for its versatility and the endless wardrobe combinations, many style gurus are forecasting this once proclaimed seasonal trend may become a classic piece.

Charmer Necklace, $7.80
Jennifer Zeuner Double Luck Reversible Necklace, $308
Briget Lynne Designs Triple Jade Drop Necklace, $145

Green with Envy
From shoes, handbags and headwear, green is the new black this spring – and the easiest way to incorporate any color into your wardrobe is through accessories. Right now the earth is what’s on everyone’s mind – from politicians to Hollywood A-Listers – fashion has always been inspired by the world in which we live in. So it’s no surprise that the biggest color trend for spring is, very simply, GREEN.

Beaded Oval Earrings, $12
Rebecca Norman Turquoise Ring, $225

Because Subtlety Is So Passe

2008-03-10T16:47:00.000-07:00

Looks like jewelry designers are now taking their cues from gangster rappers and adopted the motto: Bigger is better. The latest in runway trends just happens to be huge jewelry. Don't you love it? Here are a few example from New York and Paris Fashion Week's

Neon bright accessories are one of Spring 2008's hottest trends. Mix and match these affordable bangles for a delightfully retro look.

Neon Enameled Bangle Bracelets $22 from Wink

Pick of the Day: Ted Rossi Bangle

2007-10-14T14:29:00.000-07:00

I've always thought gold and silver to be as good as any neutral, maybe even better. Because unlike the average neutral, silver and gold can add a touch of sass and shine to any outfit.

That's probably why I'm so drawn to this snakeskin bangle from accessory designer du jour Ted Rossi. I'm sure it could spice even the blah-est of outfits.

Yea or Nay: Diamond Rentals

2007-09-24T06:01:00.000-07:00

We rent movies. We rent cars. We even rent designer handbags, but is it okay to rent diamonds?

I discovered a new site called blingyourself.com during my daily perusal of Her Accessories not too long ago.

It's a site that enables members to rent haute jewelry on a weekly or monthly basis. For example, it's possible to rent this square diamond ring for $100 per week or $200 a month.

It's a interesting and innovative idea, but does renting the diamonds spoil the fun of flaunting your bling?

D&G Candy Bangles

2007-08-24T08:51:00.001-07:00

After many years atop the fashion industry, Dolce and Gabanna has finally decided to try their hand at jewelry. The talented two-some have taken a cue from designer Kenneth Lane and come out with these adorable animal print bangles. I love crystal detailing and the D & G logo, but what do you think? Judging from D & G's candy bangles, will the line be a success?

Ghetto Fabulous Strikes Again

2007-07-16T07:04:00.001-07:00

Gorjana Gold Rings

2007-07-10T11:07:00.000-07:00

I am a huge fan of Gorjana jewelry as are stars like Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Jennifer Aniston. The simplicity of their metal designs is perfect for pairing the jewelry with any outfit. These rings from Max and Chloe are $140.

Get Charmed by So Charmed

2007-07-02T06:34:00.000-07:00

Do you remember the charm bracelet? What a concept: fully customizable jewelry with countless options to choose from. Designer Jodi bloom has taken that concept and turned it on its head. The final product being So Charmed; her line of avant-garde baubles are diverse enough to suit any personality: from pirates to princesses.

Designer Must Have: Kenneth Lane Leopard/Crystal Ring

2007-07-02T06:31:00.000-07:00

No one does jungle-inspired jewelry better than old Kenny Lane. For example, this oversized leopard print cocktail ring with a white crystal in the center is absolute perfection.

I'm Sorry, Did You Say "Activist" Jewelry?

2007-06-07T19:58:00.000-07:00

Former Lance Bass flame and current hottie Reichen Lehmkuhl has released a line of jewelry inspired by his love of flight. A portion of the profits from the line will support the repeal of “Don't ask, don't tell.”
Reichen, a former pilot, was honorably discharged from the Air Force though he could never reveal his sexuality.
It's certainly a worthy cause, and I could take it much more seriously if the line weren't called “Fly Naked”. I'm sure it's a metaphor but still.
