HOW TO STYLE JEWELRY

With the eye of an artist, gemologist Marie is styling the aquamarine and peridot stacking rings I custom made for her. Different types of twisted silver wire, some thick, some thin, repeat throughout her jewelry choices, along with pops of color both bold and subtle.

Marie’s look includes awesome blue nails and an impeccable manicure, layered with a chunky red watch band for a fabulous, fun and fresh feeling with lots of color. On her left wrist a thick, bold twisted wire silver bangle, from my twist wire collection, sits close to an intricately detailed sterling silver bracelet. Small and large twists in these bracelets contrast and echo each other. The echo continues on her fingers in the ring shanks of the stacking rings.

Also of note is how the subtle pastel color of the bezel set peridot and aquamarine gems are echoed in the face of her watch.

The repetition and echo of twisted sterling silver wire throughout, and accents color pull her look together. It is both very modern and classical. Thanks for showing us how you rock a look with such style!

WEARING JEWELRY EVERYDAY

Too often when women retire I often hear them say, “I don’t wear my jewelry too much now that I don’t go to work.” I say, defy that and wear your jewelry everyday for yourself. You’ve earned it.

My day yesterday wasn’t exciting, I went grocery shopping. I decided to wear the new stacking rings I’m working on. Every time I looking down and saw them on my hand a smile came to my face.

Wear your lovely pieces for yourself no matter where you are, at home or out. Feel special.
