Flowers, Cuffs & Man Brooches - The 2014 Golden Globes

What a red carpet it was for earrings this year! We saw lots of unique and interesting takes on classic silhouettes along with a completely new red carpet trend. 

Be Wise, Eat Candy.

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...

RED on the Red Carpet

Oscar weekend is upon us! It has been an interesting year for movies and new red carpet trends. One major color trend that is still around and kicking is bold red looks. In honor of the most famous red carpet in the world, we have compiled some of our favorite RED looks worthy of the red carpet.

Faceted Carnelian

These faceted styles are rich in appeal and vibrant in color.

Great for a nice photo op.

Red Agate & Moonstone

Smooth and sleek, a great accent for the right dress.

Stack a few of the red agate bangle for a fabulous night!

The best of everything: Garnet, Agate & Carnelian

Extravagant to simple.

These earrings are all winners in their own right,

each style for a different individual.

 

Red Tiger Eye & Red Agate

These statement rings are not your average choice, but would certainly stand out on any red carpet.  

March On, Babies

February will be coming to a close soon. (Being the shortest month makes that very easy) Once the Oscars come and go, it's onto March Madness and winter's last chance to be winter in NYC.

A new month means a new birthstone and the royal depths of majestic Amethyst will make way for the wide ranging blue colored Aquamarine. Its color ranges from light light blue to slightly green blue to deep teal. Aquamarine can be considered as much a classic as a ruby, emerald, or sapphire.

A little bit of lore: Sailors used to wear aquamarine gemstones to ward off seasickness and keep them safe.

Tin is In!

The tin cup is back in full force! Although it never really went away, its popularity has certainly regained its height.

Here are the top 3 reasons to like the tin cup:

1. It gets its name from the popular Kevin Costner movie Tin Cup.
Not only did this movie catapult the Tin Cup style into the mainstream, it came out right after Waterworld and did well.

2. It's an optical illusion.

The appeal of style is that the style is made to appear as if you are wearing a floating string of pearls and/or stones.

3. All year round.

The simplicity of the style allows it to be seasonless. Summer or winter, tin cups will fit right in.

All tin cup styles available from JewelMak at www.jewelmak.com.

Match Maker Series: Fall Double Edition

We are jumping ahead in our Match Maker Series right into the Fall 2010 color scheme from the Pantone fashion color report and doubling up our color selection. This month we're mad about Lipstick Red and Woodbine. These two colors are stand outs on their own but can also be complimentary with each other when balanced evenly together.

Layering necklaces, long and short, is a trend that has carried over from the past two seasons. Compiling the different assortments can be fun but sometimes you just may not have the time to mix and match. JewelMak's new layered bib necklaces solves that issue with fashionable results.

JewelMak Styles We Think Michelle Obama Would Like

First Lady Michelle Obama is one of our favorite fashionable ladies on the planet, and for good reason. Whether she's hosting formal dinners for world leaders or out campaigning for social causes, she is always stunning and conservatively refined all at the same time. Of all the first ladies in our US history, Mrs. Obama is a woman all women can relate too and JewelMak offers a variety of looks for just such a woman. In honor of First Lady Michelle Obama, we share a few of our styles we think would look great on her.

Multiple row/Bib necklaces:
This style looks great no matter what the material. It is bold and depending on the materials can be fashion forward or a great punch for a conservative outfit. This style is most commonly made with a variety of pearls, but also works with metals or a mix of gemstones. Michelle Obama sported this look during one of her first formal dinners as First Lady.



JewelMak has an abundance of multi-row necklaces in a variety of colors and stones.

Layered White Pearl on Silver Silk Bib Necklace and Pearl & Gemstome Twisted Necklace

Drop and chandelier earrings have also been seen on the First Lady. Some of our favorite gemstone drop styles:

Sterling Silver vintage inspired earrings in Garnet, Peridot, and Amethyst

Match Maker Series: Dried Herb

Get in tune with Mother Earth this year.

There is no better time to be fashionably green than now. Of all the colors featured, Dried Herb is what we will call the "Earthiest". One benefit of wearing this darker, muted green is that you can wear any type of metal jewelry - gold, silver, blackened silver, rose gold - it all works. Despite its muted look, wearing such a color during the summer season is more bold than wearing red or yellow. Its unexpected. For all the truly fashion savvy out there, Dried Herb also transitions well into this coming fall/winter season, which means you can keep some of those summer clothes and accessories and mix and match with your winter ones.


JewelMak's multi gemstone necklace color palette compliments the earthy green tone of Dried Herb. A mix of citrine, tourmaline, and smokey quartz stones can easily be worn into the Fall season. At 36 inches the length keeps it young and fresh. But if you're looking for something more traditional, JewelMak has a 2 row princess length version as well.



Being bold is not just about wearing bright colors like red and yellow. Being bold also can is just being different and forward thinking. Wearing a muted color during the summer is different and pairing it with sparkling gems is like icing on the cake.

Match Maker Series: Amparo Blue

The Match Maker Series is dedicated to showcasing a choice color along with a select jewelry style that either match or compliment the color. Some choices may be safe and some may seem unconventional, but stylish.

We begin our Match Maker series with the color Amparo Blue.

Amparo Blue is pretty close to your basic blue and is among the ten colors featured in Pantone's Fashion Colors for Spring/Summer 2010. Blue in general is a very commonly worn color. It looks good on most skin tones and is the universal color category for all things "Boy". Lucky for us, fashion does not discriminate when it comes to its textiles. Therefore, neither does jewelry. Our complimentary selection for today's choice color of Amparo Blue is JewelMak's three row necklace with Magnesite Turquoise, Turquoise coated Mother of Pearl, and Heminorphine.



The reasoning behind this choice is that this style takes care of the layering for you, yet it is still at a conservative length. It would not be a traditional choice, but it would definitely add an edgier feel if you were to match this piece with a classic blue shift dress. The white of the heminorphine and the off blue green mix of the magnesite turquoise give a good contrast. Give it a try!
