Something fresh for you…

There’s a new jewelry line called Evil Pawn Jewelry I think you’ll enjoy. Designed by Faith Evangeline this collection goes way beyond the norm and consists of eclectic pieces that are sure to command attention and add a little rock n’ roll to any wardrobe.

From the bohemian to the gothic, the demure to the outrageous, this line offers a variety of diverse looks that can complement any style.  Whether you choose one of the silver cuffs or cocktail rings as a single statement piece, or pile on layers of hair pieces, belt buckles and feathered chokers, Evil Pawn is sure to turn heads.

Faith Evangeline, the designer and mastermind behind this line, prides herself in crafting each piece with intricate detail, so you truly feel special when you put on one of her designs.  She also limits the quantities of each piece, and is constantly adding new merchandise so your look is ALWAYS fresh and unique! This line is a great way to keep your style cutting-edge, and is a welcome alternative to the mass-produced, cookie-cutter jewelry lines on the market today.

Chunky enamel designs bring back spring’s favorite haute hippie style.  In deliciously eye-popping colors, these cocktail candies take on a casually chic approach to statement style at an affordable price.

Here’s where to find them on MyJewelryBox.com.

Rubber bands by Silly Bandz are made of silicon and are die molded into fun shapes: Harry the Catterpillar; Igor the Spider; Betty Jo the Butterfly and more. My personal favorite is  Speedy the Snail!

They look and behave like normal (albeit colorful) rubber bands when stretched. But when removed from whatever they are holding, they instantly spring back into their original shapes! Flick them at your co-workers, use them for wrapping presents or horde them all for yourself. What a great gift for students or parties.

If you planed all year long to get something valuable as a gift this holiday, maybe you’ll find my jewelry suggestions inspiring (starting from now, I will post a lot of appealing jewelry discounts from which you can choose from).

Today’s hint is that Ice.com has great prices at diamonds, pearls and gemstone jewelry. Most pieces can be found for under $300, with a few as low as $45. According to price, the items are split into easy to browse categories.

1. Hearts and diamonds…twice as nice!
We all know by now that “diamonds are forever”.  And diamonds in the shape of a sterling silver heart pendant?  Eternity times two!

2. Hey!  It doesn’t have to be a diamond!
Large, show-stopping rings are all the rage.  For extra dazzle, try a colored center stone, such as a green amethyst or a pink topaz, and make a big statement without the big price tag! Or even a beautiful colored pearl ring.

3. Mix it up a little!
If you think that adding color to your wardrobe is a mood-lifter, try adding jewel-tones—from genuine jewels—to your accessories! Try mixing a mint green amethyst with a traditional purple one for a ring that’s as unique as it is eye-catching.

4. Silver is Cool and Sexy!
With the cost of gold sky high, there couldn’t be a better time to check out sterling silver.  Whether combined with enamel and studded with diamonds or paired with a colored stone and luminous mother of pearl, sterling says “glamor” and “sophistication” without breaking the bank.

5. Tennis Anyone?
Sometimes you just can’t beat a classic.  Want a twist?  Try a diamond tennis bracelet set in cool sterling.

6. Hot, Cool and Icy
No, we’re not talking about some new holiday cocktail and yes, you can mix yellow and white metals in a single piece of jewelry. Try a ring of white diamonds, set into icy sterling silver and highlighted with hot, (14K) yellow gold.

Jada Pinkett Smith may have been enjoying Milan Fashion Week this past weekend, but she was sure to take a bit of Paris with her, as she wore Baccarat “Cascade Medici” earrings to the Emporio Armani Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Show on September 25th in Milan.

We see celebrity mother and daughter duos engaging in the same activities we do with our daughters, lunching together, shopping together, working together, and even wearing matching outfits. We like doing all this things. It’s part of the mom and daughter bondage. But when it comes to jewelry, do we tend to exaggerate?

Today mothers and daughters are sharing everything from shoes to accessories, David Mamane – CEO of MyJewelryBox.com – offers the following tips for moms.

So, what accessories are appropriate for a mom to share with her daughter? What makes moms look like they’re trying too hard?  Here’s what David Mamane recommends:

• Cocktail rings are the perfect accessory to share between mother and daughter. No matter what your age, a great statement cocktail ring will always turn heads and never go out of style.
• Just because mom is older doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to also be trendy and look fabulous.  Layering necklaces with a simple dress or shirt is an easy way to dress up an outfit without trying too hard.
• Stack diverse size bracelets and bagels as far up your arm as you can pull off. This is a great way to add some sparkle to a causal outfit. Interchange smaller and larger sizes, styles, and metals. Mixing metals is huge for fall, so don’t be afraid to mix your gold, silver, and copper pieces. Also, stackable bracelets are a great way to mix and match more expensive pieces with less expensive ones.
• Silly Bandz are a great way for kids to show off their sense of style and personalities. Even though silly bandz are now offered in adult shapes and sizes, leave these to your kids. Sorry mom.

One of the stars of M.C.L. by Matthew Campbell Laurenza, the 3D pave heart ring with black sapphires, is complementing one of the hottest stars – Katy Perry. She’s wearing it on several occasions and really loving it.

Katy Perry first wore the ring at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 12th. Two days later, she accessorized with the ring at The Daylights Album Release Party.
