A May to December Romance with 2014's Hottest Colors

According to the Haper's BAZAAR Fall runway 2014 trend report, gray is the neutral palette this season. Which is the perfect backdrop for the color of the season: Radiant Orchid. These two colors combined make for a very chic ensemble; from the CEO to the flirt, the combination creates a dynamic effect.

OFFICE

Most office environments require a fashionista to keep things minimal and classy. Simple silhouettes and matching sets always do the trick., but with this year's #1 color, your usual work attire will have a much needed color boost.

FUN & FLIRTY

For the girly girl that loves a bit of frill, beaded styles always give you an extra playful edge. Mix that with the super feminine Radiant Orchid hue of the moment, and you've got great date night options!

GLAM

Whether you go glamorously elegant or glamorously bold, Radiant Orchid fits for both a night out 

downtown or uptown.

Alright, alright, alright...

Gemstones were the trend on the red carpet at the Oscars this year! Big drops, colorful facets and very few hot messes! This was an overall generally pleasant Oscars, which for those that love a hot mess, equals boring.

Amy Adams led the pack of colored drops with her Tiffany & Co. gold earrings with rhodochrosite, lapis lazuli, turquoise and diamonds from their Blue Book 2014 Collection. They were paired with equally colorful ring and bracelet featuring yellow diamonds. Accenting her structural Gucci gown in deep royal blue.

Proving to the world that her earlobes are better than ours, Cate Blanchett wore enormous drop earrings by Chopard in white gold with opals and diamonds. No one seemed to loooove her Armani Privé dress, as is the usual practice with 'Red Carpet Cate Blanchett'. But we can certainly appreciate it, just not sure how she sat comfortably in it for over 3 hours. All those crystal shards... She had a friend in the clustered diamonds department in Charlize Theron who wore an almost matching Y necklace with clustered flawless diamond drop by Harry Winston.

Illusion cuff earrings made an appearance. Oscar winner, Lupita Nyong'o wore tiny cuff silhouette diamond earrings from Fred Leighton, Sandra Bullock in pear shape diamonds that curled up her ear by Lorraine Schwartz, and Maria Menuenos wore cuff like earrings from Dove jewelry that complemented her romantic beauty look and slightly bridal dress.

Girl-Next-Door/Most-Popular-Girl-In-School/Consistent-Klutz Jennifer Lawrence repeated two years worth of Oscar looks with a red column gown by Dior and a backlace look from. It seems cutting your hair short in Hollywood makes you 'brave' and 'fashion forward'. In Lawrence's case, it just looks 'old'. She's a beautiful girl, but that cut is not flattering. Leave it to Annette Bening.

Overall, we're excited to see how this year's red carpet will reflect in the tastes of the regular people of the world. Colorful drops? Large diamonds? More backlace?

Be Our Valentine!

Happy Opal October!

HAPPY BIRTHSTONES! 

Happy Birthday October babies! New York is currently enjoying summer weather right now so live it up like you've never done before! (Seriously, how often in your life could you have celebrated a birthday without a jacket? Miami excluded.) While you're basking in sunlight, you can add to it with cute opal accessories.

Not a pink fan? Opal is one of the versatile stones. What makes it really interesting is its incredibly wide ranging differences. It goes from milky to incandescent to practically on fire, quite convenient for a birthstone. October can truly represent each day's individuality with Opal as its birthstone. Not everyone likes their birthstone (sorry November Citrine) but with opal, you can customize and always find a suitable shade. Happy Hunting!

Pearls for YOU!

We've always believed that every woman should have her go-to strand of pearls. It's the classic female staple, but like most fashion statements, it has to fit YOU. Hamilton Jewelers has provided a simple guide for you (via Mikimoto) to determine the perfect length that compliments your body.

The classic single row choker - princess length is probably the most often seen look for women of all ages. It's associated with the a lady a la Grace Kelly not Grace Jones. (Actually, we doubt we've ever seen Grace Jones in pearls.)

It's not just the length of the pearls, it's also the size. Standard pearl necklaces range from 5 - 7 mm pearls. For those that are not a fan of the stationary size can go for the equally elegant graduated necklace. The graduated necklace also serves as a thinning silhouette because it concentrates the eye towards the center.

Take a look at our selection of our favorite styles...

Baby Got Back-lace: 85th Academy Awards Red Carpet

The 85th Academy Awards was a pretty tame red carpet and ceremony this year. There was no Angelina this time, so who were we to look towards for that odd stand out piece of jewelry or limb? Perhaps we are just expecting too much and anything less than eyebrow raising just leaves us unimpressed. Once again, the longest, most self indulgent of awards shows started a half hour later than all others at 8:30pm EST but the red carpet coverage started 3 hours before and the trends were a mixed bag.

The Golden Globes Rundown: Brought to you by 'Lace'

The 70th annual Golden Globes was a mix of cool fashion and 'interesting' choices. Here we rundown our favorites and the ones that we just don't understand...

As the ManRepeller would say, the 2013 Golden Globes red carpet was a total "arm party". Many of the leading ladies chose a bare collar bone over a statement necklace, yet statement earrings were still going strong. Lorraine Schwartz was a favorite and very on trend with vintage style earrings in various gems besides diamonds. Just in time for the Great Gatsby. Julianne Moore was a walking billboard for having good connections with her Tom Ford dress and Bvlgari jewelry. The dramatic drop earrings and statement cuff were unexpected accessories to such a simplistic dress. It pays to be BFF's with Tom Ford

Lights, Brights, & Burgundy! It's the 2012 Emmys!

It's the biggest night for prime time TV and all the biggest stars of the small screen came out in their Sunday best to celebrate all of television, even the programs that require no mental activity whatsoever.

It was a colorful red carpet this year with TV's leading ladies stepping out in bright yellow, red, green, and blue. Complimenting those ensembles was a resurgence in statement jewelry; most impressive were the earrings.

Earrings are truly one size fits all so its the best go to jewelry piece, but in the past couple of years the red carpet has been pretty bare of unique and sculptural earrings. This time, nothing was held back.
