Phoenix Roze. Have you heard of them? The jewelry world's best kept secret, with impeccably talented designer, Guy Rozenstrich, behind the name. I was taken by the delicately beautiful necklaces within the collection. See for yourself below, and check out more necklaces along with other pieces here. You will love Phoenix Roze too! This necklace is like a gorgeous tangled mess--makes me want to purposefully tangle my extra chains to create a similar look. This one is cool because it is 14k yellow and rose gold. The stones are pink tourmaline and priced at $475 Love the one-sided placement of the stones, but it doesn't stop there, the stones also go from dark to light tourmaline. This one's done in 14k gold, features a simple cross and priced at $425 The "Y-necklace" style is evident, but it doesn't define the entire design. It is very subtle, just the small gold chain hanging in the center. Done in 14k yellow gold with blue and pink colored sapphires. Price: $275 This is a cute everyday staple piece--a delicate three ruby necklace. I like how the chain attaches to the pendant that way. Done in 14k yellow gold, priced at $365. Just think only $1 a day for a year!! Read More
I've already come to terms with my unknowing attractiveness to yellow gold and black, after a glance into my jewelry box. However, the obsession continues! Bario-Neal has some creative and delicate designs, yet the Senna Round Ring quickly became my favorite. After inquiring further, I've got some good news that will shake up my repetitive gold/black palette--the ring comes in any enamel color (except purple)! That is just what the doctor ordered! A little splash of color is necessary, and with the fall foliage in abundance, I am feeling possibly a red, orange and yellow stacked trio?! These three colors are $180 because they include flecks of gold in them. Any other color will cost $168. The Senna Round ring is done in 14k rose gold of which is reclaimed precious metal.
