Jewelry

Any opportunity to personalize something, I am in. So when I discovered Gemvara, an addiction took over. Hours were spent customizing amazingly gorgeous rings and necklaces. I just couldn't get enough — and still can't. All of the options available certainly make for many a fabulous jewel. I tweeted every single one (kudos to Gemvara for the ability to share via social media).

Gemvara gems are absolutely stunning. I am head over heels for london blue topaz, lemon quartz and black onyx! What's most impressive though, is the concept of creating a piece you give meaning to. Like my Gemvara Naked Cushion Checkerboard Petite Bezel Pendant Necklace in London Blue Topaz on a dainty sterling silver ball chain. It's the perfect I'll-never-take-this-off necklace. And the customer care team is wonderful. They keep you posted every step of the way. Truly, every step — getting you even more excited to receive your one-of-a-kind piece.

Sounds like the ideal holiday gift, to give and receive, doesn't it?

majWhen you meet someone special, you can't wait to share them with others. So it is with absolute pleasure that I introduce you to Meredith Jackson.

From the moment I met Meredith in 2008, I knew she was bound for great adventures. Her smile can light up a room, and her talent goes on for miles. While she was an interior designer at the time, she had been playing with jewelry for years. I still remember all the precious gemstones and vintage beads and chains that decorated every inch of her home. Playing? It was more than that. We all knew it. Three years later, Meredith A. Jackson Jewelry Design is a thriving business in a Charlotte, NC.

Meredith has an eye for color, texture and pure artistic beauty. Everything she touches is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. I can personally attest to the distinction and quality of her work, as I've been wearing my MAJ jewelry (8 coveted pieces) for over 3 years. Meredith creates extraordinary statement pieces that are classic and stylish. And they go with everything in your wardrobe.

When I say Meredith Jackson's designs are one of a kind, I mean it. In fact, my personal favorites below may be gone tomorrow. Time to bookmark Meredith's online boutique for special gifts for those you love, including yourself. Happy shopping!

Mega neckwear — that's all I want at this season. No doubt, I am a little obsessed with crazy enormous statement necklaces.

Trends go from big to layered to minimal, then back again to big. However, I could just land on a few all-time classic masterpieces. I am loving the singular sensations against the simplest of foundations. And this geometric crystal necklace by Lanvin is screaming my name. Of course, my wallet is holding me back.

Undeniably magnificent!

I am delighted to share an absolutely mesmerizing love story with you. This original three-part film series, a fabulous collaboration between ELLE and Van Cleef & Arpels, unveils true love and all the emotions that surround it.


Chapter 1, The Meeting, has just launched and it's a must see! You'll be hooked and eager for the launch of Chapter 2, Falling in Love, and Chapter 3, The Proposal. Take note of the beautiful cinematography, styling and music, featuring new artist Lana Del Rey.

Needless to say, the jewels are exquisite. And the models, alluring!

 
A simple cuff bracelet works with just about any outfit. Especially, when it's white. This fabulous white calf hair and leather cuff by Céline transcends seasons. Layer it or wear it solo. Either way, it transitions into fall beautifully.
