Giveaway: Brazilets Wish Bracelet

We are giving away a Brazilet Wish Bracelet this week in honor of giving back, and helping to protect the Amazon in Brazil! Sales of Brazilets help preserve the Amazon and have been on the rise in popularity. Although these bracelets have been around for 200 years in Brazil, they have only recently been a hit here in the United States. Celebrities like Lauren Conrad and magazines like US Weekly & Star have promoted these bracelets. Brazilets are worn fashionably throughout Latin America yet retain spiritual significance as they help grant wishes to all who wear them. Brazilets are worn by wrapping the wrist and tying three knots for three wishes; when the material wears down and the Brazilets fall off naturally, it is believed that the three wishes will come true. In order to qualify to win, leave a comment which includes your email address and answer this question: What is your most coveted piece of jewelry you own? You can double your chances by doing the same on Twitter! Good luck, winner will be announced in a week! Read More

Tri-Link Motif by Hoorsenbuhs

The iconic, eye-catching motif of a tri-link has admirers gawking, and people buying. First to come on the scene in 2005, jewelry line Hoorsenbuhs has created pieces like rings and bracelets using a simple motif that flatters anyone wearing them. A very young company, yet already has a unique list of celebrity clientele. Mary-Kate Olsen is seen here wearing the Hoorsenbuhs ring. Their line is meant to be customized to the buyers' needs: anything can be done in silver, 18k yellow, pink or white gold, even platinum. You want diamonds? You can add those too. I had no idea Hoorsenbuhs did bridal jewelry as well. I LOVE the above wedding set, featuring both the man's wedding band and woman's matching band, and the engagement ring is amazing. Simply stunning. For more information: visit Hoorsenbuhs website or read the JC Report Read More

Designer Spotlight: Tina Tang

Anyone who has the guts to quit a job on Wall Street must have some big dreams, a creative brain, and a daring edge to them. This combination is what led Tina Tang to making her dream of designing jewels into a reality several years ago. Today, her work has been featured in countless magazines and dazzled on celebrities. Worth the risk, right?! Her style is unique and I especially love her description, "classics with a twist" because it is literally just that! Texture is lovely in all aspects--fashion, home decor, art--and this can be seen in her jewelry line. I love the twisting of the gold, it gives her jewelry a nautical, luxurious feel to it. Check out some of my favorites from her collection below. Read up on what is going down at her NYC studio and everyday life here on her blog.
