FEMENINE CHARM

This Fall, I'm falling in love with delicate jewelry. It's a season all about classic, minimalist style and the accessories to match. There's nothing more feminine and timeless than a charm necklace which is the perfect pairing with every outfit.

I'm always inspired to revamp my wardrobe with each season and wanted to create a necklace that would perfectly transition into Fall. This necklace can be perfectly paired with a sun dress or a beautifully baggy sweater.

(14k gold filled leaf charm, double layer of 14k gold filled chain, chain length approx. 19 inches)

Price: $39.00

MIXING AND MATCHING JEWELRY

Like the icing on a cake, jewelry is usually the last garnish used to dress up an outfit and argruably the most important! Your jewels make just as much of an impact as your clothes, which is why it's so important to refresh the way we wear our bits and baubles. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to go out and buy new jewels, it's more about revitalizing and coming up with new styling tricks.

One of my personal favs: Laying long and short necklaces.

Blend your brights! Forget the color wheel, anything bold and vibrant works well together.

Stack it: Pair a chunky cuff with simple beaded bracelets.

Group your delicates! Layer on your wimsical jewelry for a bold & beautiful look.

Below is my newest addition and creation added to Pretty Poetic Jewelry.

Now, all you need is some beaded bracelets to stack it with!

TO LIFE, LOVE & HAPPINESS

A very dear friend asked if I would make a Buddha charm necklace for her - as a beautiful sentiment and tribute to someone in her life. As she wore it, the requests started to grow and grow. I got to thinking about how it seems as though spiritual jewelry will never fade: Buddha's, Star of David's, Crosses etc. I've grown to love everything the Buddha stands for: inner peace, good will towards others, and the power of the mind. I thought I would share some inspiration with you too!

I too, now wear my Buddha necklace almost everyday, which is a constant reminder to seek inner peace and beauty in a sometimes chaotic world.

(14k gold filled chain - Approx. 19 inches long, 14k gold filled Buddha Charm)

Price: $36

NEON ARM CANDY

I recently wrote a post about bright colors and quickly realized neon's are in a league of their own - which is why they deserve a post all their own. Neon's have really grown on me and I find myself always looking for ways to add little pops of neon to my outfits. There's something so happy and fun about these colors - as well as universally complimentary on all skin types and hair colors.

When creating a line of neon's - I wanted to create something casual, fun and versatile for every look. These new bracelets look so amazing layered or simply worn alone. As I've mentioned before, I always keep my original mock-up/creation for my personal collection and I must say I've been wearing these 3 everywhere: to the beach, to the office with a blazer, grocery shopping with a maxi dress or simply with jeans and a tee-shirt.

(Hand dyed cotton braids, 14k gold hook & eye clasp, 14k gold oval charm)
Available in 3 colors: Electric blues, Neon green tie-die & Neon yellow
Available to purchase in sets of 3,2 or 1
Price:
1 bracelet for $30
2 bracelets for $50
3 bracelets for $60
To order please visit my etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/PrettyPoeticJewelry?ref=si_shop

CLASSIC COLOR COMBO

Some things never change - and my love for turquoise and gold is one of them. I see so much beauty in this combination of colors - I see springtime. I see traveling. I see the beach and I see effortless beauty.

Creating a line if jewelry with these vibrant colors came quite naturally to me, because of the effortless beauty that turquoise embodies. These new pieces have most certainly become my favorite line in my entire collection.
