New Orner Jewelry!

As our new spring jewelry collections continue to arrive from Europe, we thought we'd let you know about Orner's exciting new jewelry for spring. It's all about statement necklaces and black is THE "in" color this season - so feast your eyes on these fab necklaces we can't wait to wear!

The Gumball Choker is sure to turn heads with its big, glossy black beads on a chunky, edgy chain and the Goth Layered Chain Necklace is the coolest accessory we've seen in a while, with its weighty, mismatched chains in a gorgeous matte black. Layer the metallic Calla Lily Necklace with either of these - or wear it alone with a plunging neckline - and you'll look like you stepped straight off the runways from Paris.

Happy Shopping! Love, Kim&Maki

Our Obsessions: Leather Flower Chain Necklace

We love-love-love this fashion-forward necklace by Parisian costume designer Orner!

Think of it as more like a scarf than a piece of serious jewelry. It makes a bold enough statement on its own, so we would recommend wearing this necklace (pictured here in beige, but equally if not more fabulous in black), with something minimal.

Take a risk and be daring... Fashion should be fun, and this necklace is it!

Our Obsessions: Snowflake Pendant

I have been kind of lazy lately in putting my outfits together and honestly, have not been in a super accessorizing mood in the mornings- but that said, I have found The Snowflake Pendant by Orner to be so versatile! This necklace goes with everything- jeans to dresses and so comfortable to wear. It’s the necklace that is hip enough to add a “little something” to a comfortable yet boring outfit (and we all have at least 2 outfits like that)!

Our Obessions: Lancelot Bracelets & Round Deco Ring

From Kim:

Right now I’m loving the Lancelot bracelets! I couldn’t decide which color to wear the other day so I wore both together on my right wrist and they looked great... I've been wearing them every day now for a week.

Then I decided to change it up a bit (since I love to do that) and wore the black version on my left wrist with my watch. I added the black Round Deco Ring to my right hand and off I went to deal with my daily life! Both the Lancelot Bracelets and the Round Deco Ring have such a great vintage look to them yet they are very modern as well. They pair brilliantly with jeans and also look beautiful dressed up. These pieces look as if they have been a staple in my wardrobe forever- like heirlooms!

Organic Cuff Bracelet by Marjorie Victor

Many of you have already discovered Marjorie Victor and her beautiful, delicate, hammered sterling silver and gold fill jewelry.

The Organic Cuff Bracelet (as featured in the November issue of Lucky Magazine) is her newest design and something we have been wearing EVERY DAY for the last 2 weeks now! Light, airy, sculptural and simple, we like it because it gives the impression that you're wearing several bangles - but without the bunching up effect. It's also the perfect bracelet for those of you who have tiny wrists and never wear bracelets because you can't find any that fit - this cuff is flexible and adjustable to fit any size wrist.

We're offering it in two versions: shiny, polished 18K gold plate or sterling silver. You'll note we've added quite a few more items to her collections as well. Check it out!

Introducing Our Obsessions

This is going to be the first of what we will be regularly posting as "Our Obsessions".

You see, we got into this business in the first place because we love jewelry. And obviously, we own most of everything we sell here - because we choose our collections based on our own personal tastes. It's a nice occupational perk!

So, even though we think everything in our store is fabulous, there are some items that we find ourselves wearing more than others - our obsessions. Or, sometimes we discover that pairing this necklace with that other one - and maybe mixing different styles - can change how we feel about a particular piece or even better, our wardrobe choices. The point here is to have fun with jewelry and make it part of your daily dressing process. At best, accessorizing can make an already amazing outfit even better. At the very least, it can spice up an otherwise drab and boring look on those days you don't have the time or energy to dress up (it's raining, laundry day, casual friday, etc.).

Now to the good stuff. First up: the Charleston Sautoir, by Médecine Douce.

Sautoirs are long, rope style necklaces that fall below the waistline and terminate with a tassel, first popularized during the Edwardian era. The Charleston Sautoir is a modern take on this style, with antiqued gold brass beads and chains. Wear it doubled once and long for a chic, minimalist look. You can wrap it around your neck up to 4 times to create a shorter, multi-layered necklace too. The hoops and dangly bits can be moved around to fall to the center or off to the sides for a more assymetrical look.

It's also a great layering piece. We really like the idea of wearing the Charleston Sautoir with another decorative necklace, like a pendant.

We've paired it here with the Snowflake Locket Pendant , also by Médecine Douce.
