Hi Girls

If you have looked at any fashion or jewelry magazine lately you have noticed the layered necklace trend. Your favorite celebs like Julia Roberts, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Sharon Stone have all tapped this trend brilliantly.

These savvy celebs know how to accentuate. Think delicate layers cascading down your neck and you’ll be on the right track.

Besides they are fun to play with, as you draw your guy’s attention to your throat and neck line without being too obvious. Who knew that jewelry could be such a powerful seduction tool.

Hi all

Ring necklaces have made a big splash this year with stars like Felicity Huffman, and Keira Knightley indulging in this simple trend.

These designs are inspired by these celebrity’s favorite designer Gorjana. The style is simple yet incredibly chic. They are the perfect accent to any outfit without overpowering it.

Here are some simple variations on this theme that you can try:

Pair them with casual garb, like Felicity or with a simple yet classy gown. Either way these ring necklaces are so delicate and subtle they shouldn’t overpower your outfit. Let the other ladies in the room find something else to pick on.

Hi Girls

Did you know that Marilyn Monroe wore a gorgeous diamond shaped pendant in How to Marry a Millionaire? This magnificent rock was 7.18 carats. And of course she made this precious gem famous in Gentleman Prefer Blonds, as she belted out “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend.”

An amazing fact though is that Marilyn only owned two pieces of quality jewelry, both given to her by her husband Joe DiMaggio. One was an eternity ring and the other a strand of pearls.

All of her other jewelry was costume jewelry. And yet she always looked glamorous and fabulous, thereby proving the point I have reiterated here time and again - you don’t have to spend a fortune on your jewelry to look like a star.

Choose pieces that appeal to you and are in your price range. The rest is simply attitude. So you can’t afford to wear the jewelry that the celebrities have borrowed. Big deal. Where your favorite diamond studs or even cubic zirconium necklace throw on your most eye catching dress and tell the world to look out because here you come.

I was surfing the net and happened upon Nicole Kidman’s wedding pictures. The diamond necklace that she wore was absolutely stunning. It was the perfect accent to her gown and brought back the nostalgia of old style Hollywood glamor.

If I was getting married, I would definitely take a page out of her book, but at a more reasonable price tag. Something like this perhaps:

Wouldn’t it just look fabulous with a simple white gown with a long trail? Depending on how I had my hair, I could even add some diamond earrings.

What jewelry will you wear at your wedding? And for those of you who have already gotten married tell us if you went with diamonds or something as simple and beautiful as a strand of pearls.

SMILES!
