    sun moonI have fallen in love. Mauri Pioppi began as a professional dancer, and I for one think you can see that grace and elegance in her jewelry designs. How did she get to that point? Well, dancing led her to yoga, for its restorative help, and from there she began to work as a yoga instructor. She says that her practice afforded her a vision, which led her to the art of jewelry design — and she is fantastic at it, quickly becoming extremely respected for her talent.

    Out of her visions came the piece I love most, the Avatar Sun Moon Ring. It is said that avatars are able to ultimately transcend both time and space, and that they resonate within us so that we will reach our potential. Perhaps wearing this ring can help us do that.

    It is available in either yellow gold or white gold, in 14K or 18K, and with a choice of various gems.

    Baccarat JewelryNow that we have talked about high-end pieces, let’s go ahead and talk about Baccarat Jewelry – this is a jewelry company that actually has been around since 1764 and isn’t that long enough?  Basically, these pieces were actually designed for the king himself and that is why Baccarat Jewelry is actually considered extremely high-end and bling in a whole different way.

    Baccarat crystal is actually what makes up the pieces and they are actually designed with the Europeans in mind … however slowly but surely, there they have been showing up in the states for quite some time now and I think that these pieces are absolutely breathtaking.

    If you are looking for Baccarat Jewelry – you might have to do a little research to find it, but I swear that it is definitely worth the investment!

    bangleYou may not have heard about the Dorfman Sterling Collection, but after this you are probably going to find out all you can. I flipped for this collection, not only because I am wild about sterling silver but also because the pieces are absolutely fantastic.

    What really drew my eye was the Dorfman Sterling “Raindrop” Bangle. Personally, I think this design would make an absolutely gorgeous ring as well — but right now it is just a bracelet, so that is what we are going to focus on for the moment.

    Somehow this bracelet manages to be both simple and complex, in that the design is so exquisite.  The bangle is so fluid, you can just imagine that it would feel like smoothly flowing silk beneath your fingertips.

    bad2-1For years without name, Badgley Mischka — the design label of James Mischka and Mark Badgley — has been a linchpin of fashion. The two men are considered two of the top clothing designers in the United States, producing pieces that are glamorous but wearable, fashionable but functional, and beyond stylish. And now Badgley Mischka has jewelry that is just as timeless and sophisticated.

    In a way, a pearl necklace from Badgley Mischka is perfect — pearls are timeless too, after all.

    You might think pearls are a little too antiquated, but just take a look at this gorgeous Victorian Pearl Choker. Antique? Absolutely, but with an undeniable and stylish edge. It goes great with a little blank dress.

    It features six strands of pearls, as well as an intricate, coolly chunky pendant made of rhinestones. The choker is made of freshwater pearls and glass crystals and, get this, it is less than three hundred dollars!

    ClogauNow that we have talked about the Clogau Company and one of the most beautiful rings that I have ever seen – let’s take a look at the Clogau version of a pearl necklace.  This little beautiful is actually the brand new Cariad choker that actually captures the message of love right in it – and it is so ever-so-fashionable!

    clogauThis little collection actually came from one of my readers comments – I logged onto the webpage and I have to say that Clogau has some beautiful – beautiful pieces on there!  This is just one of the many pieces on there and in the next blog, we will dip into some of the necklaces but for now, let’s concentrate on the AM Byth eternity ring.  This is a ring that actually depicts the ever-evolving nature of life.

    It is encrusted with 18ct rose hold berries and the vines actually represent all sorts of new life forms that intertwine from old to new … and they create some beautiful lines.  The pattern goes throughout the ring and can be seen from all angles and inside the yellow gold are thirty-three brilliantly cut diamonds.

    The cool thing about Clogau is that they actually use rare Welsh gold that actually gives rings like this one the beautiful and natural … and uniqueness that not a lot of other brands can do.
