Approach the Brooch

AH, the Brooch.

The trend is everywhere, but many people just aren't into wearing them. As a result, I re-work Brooches of yours into bracelets and necklaces ALL of the time! Some of the most stunning family jewelry I have seen has been in the form of a Brooch.

However, there are many out there who who DO enjoy rocking the Brooch, or want to... but are unsure of just where to begin. So, here are a few tips on how to wear them from Harper's Bazaar (we like #4 the best!):

1.Pin them on your masculine pieces, like blazers and button-ups, for a feminine flair.
2.Smaller styles look interesting when worn in groups. Choose pieces from similar genres - all deco, for example.
3.Expand beyond diamonds. Pins are chic in unique styles, like rosettes and ribbons.
4.Put them on in unusual places. A brooch doesn't have to be stuck on your lapel. Try one on the hip of your dress, to fasten your scarf, or as a closure for your cardigan.

Emeralds Are Ever-Popular Again

Did you know a great way to see what upcoming Fashion Trends will be coming our way is to pay attention to the various Awards Shows?! The dresses the attendees wear showcase the Colors you'll be seeing soon in local boutiques, not to mention the styles.  Same goes for the jewelry they wear- even if the designs are more traditional, the color of the gemstones they wear will often be a hint as to what you'll start seeing.

Take the Emerald. At the Cannes Film Festival Emeralds took center stage for many of the attendees. Here are a few Emerald looks from the event, plus one of our own personal Emerald faves…Halle Berry's wedding ring! LOVE.
