Julio Designs, a Bohemian Take on Antique and Vintage Jewelry

Whether recreating today’s runway looks has you inspired, or you’re looking for the latest and greatest pieces for Mother’s Day gifts, Julio Designs shares your passion for the accessories that combine artistry and unique fashion. Handcrafted in the USA from gold and silver plated metals as well as brass, pewter, copper and aluminum, you can wear today’s hottest trends while owning an artisan treasure.

Go Beyond Simple Beads and Pendants with a Maltese Cross Design

Founder and designer Juli Hales loves this cruciform shape. Check out the Maltese Cross collection of best-selling necklaces: CavendishViscose, ApricotBrasiliaSequel and Thrill.

For earrings: ER130.

Sport Your Best Hoops

Circular designs are making a comeback in a big way from three dimensional round shapes to hoops in every size. Show your “well-rounded” elegance with the ER241 and ER242 earring sets that are striking in silver and gold combinations.

Bring on the Color!

Vibrant color is a trend this year not to go unnoticed with statement pieces. For a great mix and match of metals and hues, start out with a bracelet. Check out the Layer Cake set of 3 tonal stretch bracelets that are beautifully beaded and charmed. Stick with one or layer them up for a dramatic look.

About Julio Designs: Founder Juli Hales creative talent for jewelry-making began in elementary school but it fostered a love of design that would later lead to her launch of her own line of handmade jewelry and accessories, Julio Designs.

Luxurious. Modern. Alyce Ross Designs.

Alyce

by Lisa Gal

All too often I need that one statement piece for a certain outfit that will just complete the look. Alyce Ross Designs comes through every time. Once a Wall Street Foreign Exchange Broker, Ross decided she wanted to pursue her creative side and raise a family. Handcrafted in her Long Island studio by Alyce herself, she continues to find inspiration and design new looks for you to add to your collection. Her Boho style is mixed with modern luxury that sets off just about any outfit. Great when layered together or left as a stand alone piece. We are thrilled to help bring this style to the SAG nominees, talent and guests in their Hollywood Swag Bags being gifted at The Four Seasons Hotel this red carpet weekend. Be fierce. Be you. Own your style.

Wendy Mignot has a gift for creating exquisite pearl and leather jewelry

IMG_5885

 

I’m not much of a jewelry person. Shoes? Yes … Jewelry? No. That is, until I discovered Wendy Mignot. My husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings to mark my 40th birthday about 10+ years ago. I have worn nothing else on my ears since. Move over 40th birthday present, you have been temporarily replaced by my new Wendy Mignot Lavender pearl earrings. Check out my new pair of  Coastal Petite Lavender Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings. Not only is lavender my favorite color but when I saw these pearl stud earrings, I could not resist. These particular pair of earring are from the Coastal Petite Collection and have sterling silver backs. Wendy Mignot states perfectly that “Each pearl is unique; each piece is unique”. You will find this to be true when you view her collection.

There are eight unique collections with pieces such as earrings, bracelets  and necklaces. The necklace below, from the Seacrest Tahitian collection is handcrafted in leather with assorted Tahitian Pearls. The Round Pearls (10-12mm) and  Drop Pearls (14-16mm) used to create this necklace are simply stunning.

Of course we can’t omit some of the beautiful bracelets like the bracelets form the Azur Turquoise collection. This Larimar and Freshwater Pearl Bracelet is one of my favorites. It’s  a limited edition and available in several lengths. This piece is definitely a turquoise lovers dream bracelet.
