Mix Fine and Fashion Jewelry?

Absolutely. Today, fashion is fast. I don’t think twice before pairing an Hermes scarf with a Zara suit. Gucci purse and flip-flops from Target? On a daily basis in South Florida. Many items of clothing and jewelry are timeless, but for trends why not try fashion?

Jewelry is sentimental, it’s about marking milestones. It is also about refining and polishing your look. So, you can love your Art Deco engagement ring and spring for bohemian chic dangle earrings for a flirty night out!

 

 

 

Everyone is Going Green

Green is the color of nature: Spring, growth and harmony. It is the most restful color for the human eye, but it’s making a big splash this season.

 

There is green jewelry for every style and budget. Andrew Hamilton Crawford uses green resin for their “puffed heart” necklace that looks good enough to eat! Faraone Menella has incorporated green leather into this fantastic yellow gold bracelet. Green gemstones are also abundant. Pamela Froman features green onyx in the 18kt yellow gold earrings from her “Scroll Crush Cap” collection.

Emerald, the most famous green gem, is the birthstone for the month of May. It is also the most valuable variety of the beryl species. Its color ranges from very strongly bluish green to green, and the saturation of color can be breathtakingly beautiful. The finest emeralds, frequently those from Columbia, have only a very slight blue element and are a warm green color. Emeralds are delicate, ranking a 7 1/2 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale. (Diamonds score a 10) They are naturally included, so the cleaner the stone is to the unaided eye the more valuable it is. Emeralds are most commonly found in smaller sizes. However, they can be lively and vibrant in small sizes.
