So I have to say that I love the movie Bride Wars – if you have not seen it, you need to see it to truly understand what I am talking about.  The plot of the movie is all about two best friends that have their weddings scheduled at the same place on the same day and the war that goes through it.  The cool thing is that they had some breathtakingly beautiful jewelry in there and one piece of jewelry is a Tacori blue bridal hairpin.

This beautiful hairpin is something that Anne Hathaway’s character wore on her wedding day and I have to say that I just fell in love with this particular hairpin and that is why it is on the blog … because it is beautiful and you all need to see it!  This hairpin is five faceted with blue jade petals which all surround a white topaz in sterling silver.

The great thing about this hairpin is it is something blue for the bride – you know, something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue – pick up this pin and your blue item is covered and fashionable!

When I think of rhinestones – all that usually comes to my mind is my bedazzler, however these are not like the little gems that I used to glue to my denim jacket – these rhinestones are actually beautiful and to be honest … hoop earrings are actually in right now.  The cool thing about Rhinestone Hoop Earrings is the fact that they are inexpensive yet they look expensive … which is the entire point right?  Right.

One thing that I have noticed about rhinestones is the fact they sort of look like diamonds – however they aren’t and they are glitzier and more glamorous, which makes them perfect paired with your little black dress or even just some skinny jeans and an off-the-shoulder top.  Anything sexy and fashionable would make these earrings stand right out!

So really … get on the bus and get yourself some Rhinestone Hoop Earrings because they are really hot!

Jewelry is more than just the look of it – when you wear a piece of jewelry, there is something that goes along with it … status.  That is very true when you wear a ruby.  Not many people can pull a ruby off, but there are some of them that can and personally, I think that real rubies are absolutely beautiful.  The Indian population is known for their use of rubies – whether it is on their foreheads or on their toes, rubies are very apparent and definitely part of the culture.

However, that does not mean that you can not wear them either.  Actually, ruby engagement rings are becoming increasing popular and I think that is beautiful!  I love – love, love red gemstones and rubies are definitely my favorite!  Whether you surround them with diamonds or you are looking for just a solitary ruby – your ring will look beautiful!

So really – rubies are the best in the world for the changing of the times and they are becoming popular everywhere!

In this day and age, you do not see a lot of jewelry teams that are actually related.  Annika and Philippe Salame launched the jewelry line By Boe in 2000 and every since, this duo has been racking in the cash and has been creating handmade jewelry side-by-side.  This is a husband and wife team and I think their mixture of jewelry that is soft, subtle and all around beautiful is something that I would be willing to buy.

These little earrings are the latest earrings by By Boe and they are the Coral Chandelier Earrings and they actually sort of do look like chandeliers, which to me is so intriguing and cool looking!  Celebrities have been all over By Boe for years, celebrities like Jessica Alba, Kelly Ripa and Tyra Banks and those some of the hugest names nowadays!

So really, check out By Boe – I mean, these earrings are only $65.00!

It is funny to think about Richard Palermo and just how his jewelry career began.  Most of the time, designers begin at the bottom of the chains and when they rise up to the top, then and only then, huge chains like Tiffany & Co or Harry Winston will look at you – however, Richard Palermo actually began at Cartier and Tiffany & Co.  He has been designing jewelry for over 30 years and while he might have started out in just the fine arts, jewelry has always been his passion.

Whether you are looking for something that is big or something small, Richard Palermo definitely has you covered.  He has all sorts of signature pieces that are just him and him alone and his natural and vintage themes have really captured a lot of hearts.  Whether you want something simple or you want something complex, Richard Palermo is a designer that can really assist you.

So if you want the highest quality and the finest looking piece of jewelry, Richard Palermo is going to be the designer that you want to look into!

If there is one thing that I love, it is a man that knows exactly how to pick out and even design his own jewelry.  That is one thing that I absolutely love about Steven Zale.  This guy has everything!  He knows his style, he knows his fashion and he absolutely knows how to please a woman via diamonds!  This guy has been around for years and I have to say that Steven Zale has done quite well for himself … honestly!  First he was the designer of the Demeter Jewelry line and now I believe he might have his own line!

Steven Zale is one of those jewelry designers that are known for their pieces and just like this ring here, his pieces are constantly being worn by all sorts of different celebrities to all sorts of different places.  You know that you are golden when a celebrity starts wearing your stuff … seriously.

So if you want glam, glitz and everything between, Steven is going to be your man!  He is the best and he is one hot designer this season!

Rive Gauche.  Is that a name that you know?  If you are not a jewelry buff like I am, you probably have absolutely no idea what that name is.  It is actually a brand name for some of the best jewelry in the world.  Rive Gauche Jewelry is interesting and sold only on HSN, which is not what I watch all that often, but I might now that I know it is just sold there – I’m an internet chick, I look everything up on the web.  What makes this particular jewelry so interesting is the fact that it is made with Technibond.

What is Technibond?  It is actually a patented gold plating process that every single Rive Gauche piece of jewelry goes through.  Basically, it consists of about 40mm of 18K gold bonded with some sterling silver to make this beautiful lighter gold color that looks awesome.  Each and every piece of this jewelry that is sold off of HSN has a lifetime warranty, so you never have to worry about it!

So this is just one example of an HSN piece – you should look up some more, because they truly are worth the money spent!

Mikimoto is one of those designers that has actually succeeded in producing some of the world’s first culture pearls.  That happened in 1893 and since then, this incredible brand has been making waves and setting some of the most incredible standards in jewelry, it truly is incredible.  The quality and consistency that comes with the Mikimoto name is absolutely remarkable and they definitely are the leading maker of pearls.

What you might not be aware of this season is that pearls are actually extremely hot and while you might not really think about it – if you get a Mikimoto, you will not only have a high quality pearl, but you will definitely be at the height of fashion in the way of jewelry!

So check out Mikimoto – these standards are high and all around, the jewelry rocks!

So it has to be said that I absolutely have fallen head over heels for Roberto Coin.  This guy has been features all over the world and he is definitely one of the best jewelry designers out there now.  Take this incredible piece – honestly, really look at it.  The detail that has went into this piece is absolutely breathtaking and I have to say that while, I am not obsessed with horses, I could definitely see myself wearing this bangle.

I also love the fact that Roberto Coin is Italian.  Personally, I think that Italian designers for jewelry are incredible and they honestly … seriously are better than most designers.  The quality that goes into every single piece is absolutely impeccable and they really know what they are doing.

So if you want attention to detail, you got it with Roberto Coin people!

Vera Wang is one of those designers that has not been around for a while but she seems like she has been around for a while.  While her bridal gowns are extremely sought after and she is absolutely incredible with a needle and thread, when she decided to try her hand at jewelry making – well, I was skeptical at first but now that I actually see some of her work, I can definitely appreciate the fact that she knows exactly what she is doing.

Take this beautiful piece that is filled with glass pearls, tulle and a ribbon tie.  This is a fantastic match for any one of those bridal gowns that she has and I think that Vera is going to stick in the bridal scene.  That seems to be her trademark and she is definitely good at it!

This is wedding season ladies, if you want something unique and different – Vera has you covered from head to toe now!
