Wearing Black Never Goes Out of Style

This spring's hottest fashion trends is about showing off your most vibrant and colorful self. Electrifying neon accessories can be found everywhere. And as much as I love all the new trends and translating them into my personal sense of style, you just can't beat the impact of black.

Sun Pendant Necklace by Jean-Francois Fichot

by Marsha Reid (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Reminiscent of an Egyptian artifact that you find in a glass case at an art museum exhibit, the Sun Pendant Necklace ($7,341) by Jean-Francois Fichot is breathtakingly beautiful. Drawing his inspiration from ancient Hindu and Buddhist artifacts, the pendant is made from two ancient shells to form concentric circles that are lightly decorated with sterling silver and 18k gold embellishments. The pendant hangs perfectly at chest level maximizing on its wow effect. Even with an exceptionally large size, the pendant still holds a delicateness and timeless sense of style that one cannot deny.

Jade Buddha Pendant by Lydia Courteille

Filed under: Jewelry

There is an amazing calm that spiritual jewelry seems to exude. I don't know if it comes from the craftsmanship, the materials and stones used, or its inherent representation but nonetheless spiritual jewelry causes me to pause for a moment and reflect.

And that was certainly the case when viewing Lydia Courteille's Jade Buddha Pendant ($17,303). Surrounded by diamonds and sapphires and set in 18K gold, the hand carved jade Buddha is incredibly detailed and showcases both a delicateness and strength.

Van Cleef & Arpels Vicomte Watch Necklace

by Ariel Adams (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

What feels like a follow up to the Van Cleef & Arpels Viscount watch comes the Vicomte collection. This piece is not a wrist watch at all, but a neck-borne timepiece for women. Lovely as a piece of jewelry, the timepiece continues Van Cleef & Arpel's tradition as a maker of beautiful, if not extravagant jewelry timepieces. The piece is part of their Les Jardins collection and looks more like something from 200 years ago than a modern foray into the hearts of luxury lovers. I think the venture is a move toward the special place people have in their hearts for antiquity. If you look closely, you can tell that the dial design almost looks like a fountain of water flowing upwards. This is more or less the theme of the watch, with the "fountain" being made up of a series of large sapphire jewels as well as different cuts of diamonds.

The dial itself is inlaid mother of pearl, and I love the classic styling of the 18k white gold and diamond designs under the 36mm wide watch face. Van Cleef & Arpels calls the piece the Vicomte Watch Pendant Necklace, but I find the name to be rather dull to say out loud. Interestingly, the watch case itself can be detached from the necklace and worn separately. A nice timepiece for the classic lady (or the one in your life).

A Spooky Necklace from Franka Lane

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Franka Lane, a Los Angeles jeweler, has put this $19,500 Halloween pendant on eBay for the bargain BuyItNow price of $12,000.

Someone had fun making this. The custom pendant is 14k white gold with a diamond pavé casket. The casket is a locket, and inside is a 14k white gold naked lady. Shouldn't it be a vampire? That's mildly confusing.

The white gold lady will not suck your blood, just your bank account. The chain is sold separately.

The 'Ray & Stevie' Pendant Light

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

We've covered light fixtures made of sunglasses before and although it's an idea that will never fit it with my home's decor I must say the concept is growing on me and I especially like this 'R&S' (Ray & Stevie) pendant light by J.P. Meulendijks. The design is incredibly simple, consisting simply of 18 "reservoir dogs" sunglasses arranged into a circle. The result is an interesting piece of art and, when you turn it on, fun sunglass-shaped shadows on the walls and ceiling. Available in both black and white the lamp goes for just over $200.

Lotus Flower Chandelier

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Lotus Flower Chandeliers are created by artisans combining hundreds of hand-cut capiz shells edged in metal together into large pearl and smoke colored spheres. When lit from within the pendants shimmer and shine like stained glass and look equally impressive hanging alone or in a grouping. Two sizes (13" and 21" diameters) are available from Viva Terra for $329 and $629, and in keeping with their eco-friendly and sustainable stance as many supplies as possible are recycled and reclaimed in the manufacturing of the product -- plus the company recommends using an energy saving light bulb to illuminate your new purchase.

The 'Shoal 284' Pendant Light

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

I love this light! I'm partial to anything with nature in it but usually art and decorative pieces that include animals end up so cheesy and overdone. But Shoal 284 by Dominic Bromley is simple, classy, and really does capture the essence of shoaling fish. You can almost feel the movement! It's created by taking 284 unglazed bone china fish and stringing them by hand from a chrome steel frame to hang around a light source in the center. About 50cm wide and 1m high it's an impressive piece of art.

And if you like the look of this light but aren't into the fish so much then check out his Drawn to the Light creation.

Calliope Luxury Chandelier

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Green

Described as both organic and mechanical, this Calliope Luxury Chandelier is beautiful for sure. It's made up of rectangular pieces of artistic rippled glass clipped by 100% recycled aluminum clasps to form a multicolored glittering sphere. Definitely a modern design, even futuristic, although has an certain natural appeal also. Some say it looks like a flower bud about to open, although that wasn't my first thought. Available from Eleek it can be customized in a variety of colors and/or patinas for a truly unique lighting experience. $15,800

Marie Scarpa Pink Peony Pin

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Women don't seem to be wearing brooches much these days. Perhaps a pin like this one could help bring them back into fashion? Resembling a very pretty spider web, the Pink Peony can be worn as a pin or a pendant. All woven and curvy, threads of 14k white and rose gold spin out from a tourmaline cabochon center stone. Alternating gold beads and pear-shaped pink tourmalines set at a slight angle give the illusion of movement and soften the edges. $1940.

There's just something about the zodiac that makes it a timeless design option. Despite the often cheesy reputation that astrology has, high-end options for displaying one's sign abound.

Her Fall Zodiac collection includes 18K gold pendants with a satin finish and diamond granulation on the back. All twelve signs are represented. Shown here is the Leo pendant which sells for $950.
