Pretty things from Andrea Lucille

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Andrea Lucille RingAndrea Lucille is an up and coming jewelry designer with an intricate, elegant collection.

Educated at Rhode Island School of Design, Andrea Lucille Shin moved to NYC in 2000 and started Andrea Lucille Designs. "To me," says Andrea, "I reach the epitome of design achievement when my novel artistic concepts elicit reactions of astonishment and intrigue; I know then that I have succeeded."

We are certainly intrigued by this ring from the Willow Collection. This 18k yellow gold is set with white cultured pearls and diamonds with an approximate total weight of 0.15 cts. We love the coral style, which makes it look as though the gold and jewels are just budding out of the ring.

Andrea Lucille Designs range in price from $60 - $6,000, and can be purchased from her website, as well as these stores. See the gallery below for a look at more of her luscious pieces.

Lux Staples: Our Picks for Summer Bangles

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

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!

Lauren Wolf JewelryLauren Wolf has a terrific collection of gothic, ocean-inspired jewelry.

After studying jewelry design in coastal Mexico, Wolf moved to Brooklyn, NYC, where she currently lives and works. Her pieces tend to come in darkened silver and also in green gold, making for two price tiers - one in the low hundreds and one in the higher hundreds and low thousands.

At right are the Blackened Silver Palm Frond Earrings with 14k Green Gold Stingray Middle for $984.00. They are perfect for conjuring one's inner sexy sea witch.

Lauren Wolf's goal is "to bring together nature in form and industry in medium; to create jewelry of contrast that both complements and commands attention."

We find her work elegant and refreshingly unusual and daring! Check out some of our favorite designs below and shop Lauren Wolf here.

Lux Staples: Diamond Tennis Bracelet

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry


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.

Gold Vermeil Bug on a Cuff

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry


Sometimes I write about things because I love them, and sometimes because I hate them but they're just too crazy to pass up. This Shagreen Cuff with Gold Vermeil Bug falls somewhere in the middle. I love cuff bracelets, and usually I go for unusual pieces but this large insect is just a little too creepy -- look at the size of the fangs! Maybe it would work with a goth ensemble?

The cuff, however, is a beautifully textured gray shagreen, and the insect is 14k gold and decorated with rubies, sapphires, green agates, and crystals. $1,450

Idalia Launch

by Annie Scott (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry, Holiday Guides

Idalia Black Diamond Ring, $3,350.00Idalia is a new website for the true jewelry connoisseur.

The Black Diamond Snake Ring (right) features black and contrasting white diamonds: 1 pear shaped diamond, carat total weight 0.38; 77 round black diamonds, carat total weight 2.01; and 17 round brilliant white diamonds, carat total weight 0.38; all set in 18k gold for $3,350.00.

Because the brand name is young and there is no showroom to support, their stunning pieces cost a fraction of what they would from other designers. I had the privilege of viewing the collection in person and was inspired by the variety, elegance, and exceptional quality.

Idalia diamonds are the best of the best - for example, the Double Diamond Square Set Eternity Necklace features diamonds with a total carat weight of 19.04, color grade F-G, and clarity grade VVS set in 18k white gold.

People are becoming more comfortable doing their shopping online, but to spend thousands on jewelry you've never seen in person might feel like quite a risk. From what I saw today, Idalia is one site that won't let you down. See the gallery below for a closer look at one of the most exciting new jewelry lines of 2008!

Raw Diamond Jewelry by Todd Reed

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry


I've never been a big fan of diamonds (I even have a solitaire ruby on my wedding band instead of a diamond) but these raw diamonds in jewelry designs by Todd Reed are something else altogether. Not only are they colorful, but unique and not as flashy as traditional diamonds, which I'm sure is a love it/hate it sort of thing. To me there's something very cool about enjoying a stone thats been in the earth for ages without cutting or polishing it -- just appreciating it as it is. Although Todd Reed's latest release is a line of raw diamond cuff links for men, the rest of his collection is equally beautiful. My favorite is this cluster ring made of gold and raw diamonds for $9,375.

Thanks Marc!

We've mentioned Bali-based John Hardy company's commitment to the environment . The company is now behind a pilot project to plant bamboos and reforest Nusa Penida, a small island off the coast of Bali. Local families will be provided with bamboo seedlings and training in sustainable cultivation of bamboo and other hardwoods. To support the project they have created the limited edition sterling silver John Hardy Bamboo Collection. For each piece of jewelry purchased from this collection, John Hardy will plant a certain amount of bamboo seedlings on Nusa Penida. Each piece of jewelry is engraved with the number of bamboos actually planted. The two largest cuffs also have a special grill on the back that depicts both the bamboo theme and the Bali starling. The sterling silver cuff shown here sells for $850.

Scandezign Jewelry Tree

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Jewelry


I'm horrible about taking care of my jewelry when it comes to storage -- I have a tangled mess of bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings in about 4 different jewelry boxes. But I think that would be a different story if I had one of these Jewelry Trees from Scandezign (or I might need a small forest of them). Exceptionally fluid and simple, its classic and modern feel both holds your jewels safely and shows them off beautifully. Designed by Louise Christ it's made of brushed aluminum and stands 10.1" high and 5.3" wide. $54

Babakul Jewelry

Filed under: Jewelry

The new jewelry line Babakul is unabashedly Bohemian. The first collection, therefore, is naturally called hippie goddess and features rings, necklaces and bracelets named after goddesses and other figures from mythology. The team behind Babakul includes Kym Gold-Lubell, a designer whose past achievements include Bella Dahl clothing, Hippie Jeans and True Religion Jeans, D. Joseph Bortoli who was also behind the jewelry brand Nagual and Nubar Boyadijian who has also had his own jewelry company NBN Creations. My favorites are the labyrinth rings, elaborate swirls of hammered metals. This one is Artemis and the design ranges in prices from $110 to $890 depending on the metal used.

Fortunoff's Charms For Charity For Mother's Day

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry, Auctions, Celebrity Shopping, Charity


This year you can give your mother the same gift that a celebrity is giving theirs. Fortunoff has launched Charms for Charity with celebrities such as Brooke Shields, Eva Longoria, Denise Richards, Hayden Panettiere, Keri Russell, Molly Sims and Petra Nemcova. Each selected their favorite gold charms from Fortunoff'charm collection. The bracelets will serve personalized gifts and Fortunoff will create replicas of each of the celebrity designed bracelets to be auctioned off on Portero.com from May 8th through May 17th. One hundred percent of funds raised will benefit the charity of the celebrity's choice. The choice of charms are interesting, for example, Eva Longoria's bracelet, which benefits her charity Eva's Heroes has an Eiffel Tower, a basketball, an umbrella cocktail, drama masks and a heart and cross combination, things which seem to be more about Eva and her upcoming wedding than her mom. Keri Russell's includes three seashells and gardening tools and Brooke Shields's is the blandest of the ones I have seen with a pair of baby shoes, a baby carriage, Empire state building and a present box. You can check out the rest of the designs at the website. Keri and Brooke's bracelets are after the jump.
