Lux Staples: Our Picks for Summer Bangles

Filed under: Jewelry


Clingy or tight jewelry can get uncomfortable in the hot summer months when sweating and feeling sticky is a daily occurrence, but it's also the time of year when accessories can look their best shining in the sun against tan skin. That's what makes bangle bracelets so perfect! They come in every size, shape, and color, and although they work any time of year I particularly love them come summer. Their loose-fitting style can go casual or glam, and they always look awesome with the season's breezy fabrics and beachy dresses. See some of our favorites in the gallery below and feel free to share yours in the comments!

The market for Obama jewelry is still going strong. The range of jewelry runs from the inexpensive and symbolic to the extravagant diamond Obama necklace.

The line features pieces inscribed with excerpts from President Barack Obama's inauguration poem by Elizabeth Alexander, "Praise Song for the Day."

The collection includes three necklaces and three bracelets offered in sterling silver and 14-karat gold. The bracelet shown above has a 14k gold medallion hanging from a sterling silver multi-chain. The engraving appears on the pendant's front and back and the piece sells for $620.

Diamonds complement every fabric, flatter every skin tone, and go with every outfit. Not to mention that the beautiful way they sparkle has the power to bring happiness wherever they go. No wonder they're a girl's best friend! One of the easiest, and most versatile, ways to wear diamonds is in the form of a tennis bracelet. Although everybody has their trendy and of-the-moment favorite bracelets, a beautiful tennis bracelet (or maybe two, one in white gold and one in yellow) will serve you well.

H. Stern Feather Bracelet

Filed under: Jewelry


Heavy, chunky, and bold, this bracelet from H. Stern's Feather Collection still manages to have an air of delicate femininity about it. The coordinating earrings are dainty and fluid, and I think the pair would make the perfect "little black dress" accessory set and would be sure to get admiring glances. Made of just over 123 grams of 24k brushed yellow gold (I would prefer it in silver myself), this little bit of arm candy can be yours for $21,000 (add the earrings for just $4,900 more).

Gijs Bakker's 'Bracelet with 90 Degree Angle'

Filed under: Jewelry


It looks more like an art sculpture than jewelry (especially in this photo) but the "Bracelet with 90 degree angle" by Gijs Bakker is definitely meant to be worn. Originally made of aluminum as part of his 1969 collection, the unique angled design has been re-released in the extremely limited edition of just five, and will now be made of titanium.

Titanium? It must be heavy to wear then (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and of course it's pretty much indestructible! Plus when you don't have it on it you can store it on your nightstand sitting up like this and it can double as home decor. £2000

Win A John Ferdinand Bracelet

Filed under: Jewelry

Men's jewelry is often a subject of some debate. Although men have been adorning themselves with jewelry for thousands of years, some say that men have no need for this type of embellishment. And certainly when it comes to men's jewelry, bad taste can abound. But simple, tasteful jewelry on a man can also be incredibly sexy.

John Ferdinand is an independent accessories brand from Hong Kong. They create pieces styled in solid sterling silver and inlaid with ebony, using offcuts from furniture making which would otherwise be discarded. The pieces also come packaged beautiful raw bamboo boxes. Although they design primarily for men, the company has found that about half of their customers are women who are mostly buying for themselves. No surprise, the designs have a contemporary unisex appeal.

This week one lucky reader will win the Halcyon bracelet which features a chunky curved silver panel inlaid with ebony on a thick, soft strap of nappa leather with a silver buckle. It's got a watch-like appeal making it perfect for those who use their cell phone to tell time but would still like a bold piece of wrist candy.

Roberto Cavalli Gecko Cuffs

Filed under: Jewelry

These quirky gecko cuff bracelets are so recognizably Cavalli, I can't think of another designer that could make sparkly reptiles look somewhat cool and fashionable. The shimmering Swarovski crystal lizard is toned down by the neutral wood body, making these bracelets a fun and playful addition to your summer accessory collection. Pick your color, fuchsia, blue or green... or a more wearable black (my favorite). Vivre.com carries the Roberto Cavalli Gecko Cuffs which retail for $625.

Ostrich Shell Bangles

Filed under: Jewelry

These beautifully summery bangles are the perfect accessory to bare tanned arms. The bangles are made of solid brass with a painstaking decoration of ostrich eggshell. After master artisans piece together ostrich eggshell shards to create these bracelets each bracelet goes through an elaborate process to enhance and protect the mosaic. The eggshell shards are collected after the ostrich chick hatches so no birds were harmed in the making of these designs. They sell for $98.

Italian born Jewelry designer, Ippolita brings you bangles that are dainty yet bold from her popular 18 kt gold line. This hand made, nine-stone bracelet looks amazing layered, but is also strong enough to stand alone, it retails for $2,950 and is available online.
