SoCheec Jewelry specializes in big and bold statement pieces as well as fun, trendy designs that incorporate some of the latest nature trends like glimmering spider webs, sparkling snakes, and downright squirmy looking octopuses. They have a little bit of everything but my favorites are the big chunky cuffs, this one done up in pretty textured stingray with a sparkling "hip hop" pattern of diamonds and rubies ($8,338). SoCheec has already been seen on several red carpet celebrities but will make its grand debut in February 2011 during Oscar week at The London Hotel in Los Angeles. Filed under: Jewelry

Black and gold is a striking combination. The contrasting colors and subtle golden shimmer produce a rocker's edge aesthetic with a dash of sexiness. The color palette allows for versatility and complements a wide array of outfits from casual to formal. Filed under: Jewelry
Who says you have to succumb to darker hues in your wardrobe just because the fall season is here? If you're missing the warmth of sunshine against your skin, impromptu water gun battles and eating ice cream in the park like I am, perhaps wearing some candy colored jewels by Mallary Marks will brighten up your mood – and your attire.Filed under: Jewelry

Designer Elva Wheat Maynard creates one of kind necklaces and earrings for her Elva Fields Jewelry line that are visually captivating. While I love all of her pieces, my heart lies in her gorgeous statement necklaces. They are stunning! I've been a long time fan of Elva's work and if I could, I would buy as many of her necklaces as possible and become an avid collector. Unfortunately, before I get the opportunity to purchase, the ones I like are already sold out! Luckily, her Savor Sunrise Necklace ($118), shown above, is still available for purchase and on sale. Upon first glance, the Savor Sunrise seems fitting for the Summer, but it's coral tones and deep yellow hue would beautifully compliment beiges and browns for the Fall.
Elva Fields offers three different collections - Elva (one of a kind), June (limited editions) and Deb (vintage). As you can see, her necklaces are large, bold, and chunky pieces that exude a feminine and sophisticated feel. Each one has such character that I find myself creating outfits based on the necklace itself. I'm sure many people would say starting with you accessories to create a look is crazy, but I say create your look from what has inspired you. Have fun with it. Being an accessories junkie myself, a large majority of my outfits are based on my handbags, jewelry and shoes. Take a look below for a collection of colorful pieces to inspire your next outfit.Filed under: Jewelry

For the past couple of years the "Gossip Girl" television show has been setting trends. The season finale features an interesting statement necklace on Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively). The necklace, designed by Carla Reiter, is made of knitted and oxidized silver with diamond accents and raisins dipped in copper. I had to ask the PR person to make sure, real raisins? Yes, the piece does feature real raisins rendered into interesting copper pendants. This one-of-a-kind piece sells for $5,800.
I came across Marni's Necklace and was drawn to its simple beauty. The colorful bows and feathers against a deep black backdrop together create an eye catching piece. I especially liked the mix of texture and shapes that were used. Upon seeing it, I initially thought it was made from beads but was pleasantly surprised to discover that it's made from recycled tires. If I had the ability I would definitely try to make a necklace that is "inspired by" Marni's Rubber Necklace ($445). 
Jewelry for a cause doesn't always have to be clunky and obvious. Naturally, it's good to let people know you're supporting a cause, but if you're too showy about it, you just look silly. This year, celebrate Earth Day both subtly and elegantly with a BeadforLife necklace by Amanda Pearl.
