Take a Bite Out of the Accessory Slump

The problems wreaking havoc on the stock market and in purses large and small around the world may be having a noticeable impact on big business, and the issues might even extend to the average fashionita's ability to get just one more pair of shoes for the season (the opportunity to gain some hardcore decision-making skills between suede and calfskin lurks therein, however). Unfortunately, the icy clutches of the financial commotion are also threatening to put a bit of a tarnish on the world of accessories –but not when it comes to costume jewellery. The effortless affordability of costume jewellery pieces in any season, for any occasion, gives it the robust character that can charge through nearly any challenge. While other accessory sectors are feeling the hurt, costume jewellery is doing just fine. And you can add your vote of confidence to the enduring power of looking glam and great by dressing up your accessories wardrobe with costs that won't make your wallet cringe.
Case in point: our beautiful, complex, and chic apple and hearts key ring chain pendant. If that description sounds like a mouthful, it's because there's simply so much going on in this piece, yet it still manages to convey a refined style and sense of cool, preppy freshness that you might have thought was limited to jewellery items in the hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Glancing over this versatile costume jewellery accessory, you'll find the focal point in two silver and gold toned charms of graduated sizes; one stands out with its wide, central open space, allowing a smaller twin to dangle gracefully inside of it. The charms feature a sleek, stylized apple shape that also resembles matching hearts, making it easy to add your own imagination and meaning to the piece.

Strewn across the charms are a symphony of diamante clear Swarovski crystal stones in various sizes, adding sparkle and interest to the twists and curves of the metal, and instantly turning this accessory towards the limelight of all that is glamorous. There's no denying that this item looks fantastic, but how it's worn is another issue entirely. You'd be hard-pressed to find a way that doesn't work for this remarkable jewellery piece. It comes dangling upon an ample silver neck chain, making it perfect for wearing as a necklace, or for stringing a few times around a wrist or ankle to add shimmer and sheen to the limbs. The charm also features a large key ring with a convenient lobster clasp, which makes it perfect for adding something extra special to your keys or attaching to a purse or other accessory item for a bit of flash and flair.

Both the chain and the key ring can be removed, making the apple and hearts charm jewellery accessory easy to adapt and change according to your tastes. Imagine all the crisp and sentimental beauty of this well-crafted piece gracing your outfits or tagging along with your daily accessory ensemble. It's a vision you'll love to claim as your own reality –especially when you see the price.

A favorite element of costume jewellery is the limitless mixing options for styles, colors, materials, and moods; an ample collection allows a jewellery lover to play with design ideas and put together an endless wardrobe of pretty possibilities. But costume jewellery can pull off fantastic looks in pre-coordinated sets, as well. With a few key elements that echo each other in all the right ways offset with unique aspects that serve to define a theme, costume jewellery sets are a great way to accentuate an outfit keep everything elegantly tied together. We have quite a few sets at Janeo, ranging from the simple to the extravagant, monotone to many-colored, subtle to very bold. Some are great for weddings and other special events, but a few we feature are perfect for year-round wear, and work wonderfully with a variety of fashions. This earring, necklace, and bracelet set in silver-toned rhodium and purple crystal exemplifies the seasonless sensation of our favorite sets, and is ready to find a place of honor among your baubles.

This set has several things going for it; a pleasing mix of color, texture, substance, and shine interact between the three pieces and create a sense of artistry, all while remaining understated. The necklace features an interesting pendant which floats on an ample, 26 centimeter flat chain. The pendant is comprised of a carved silver-toned disk, with an appealing surface and formation that suggests the unique look and feel of hand-crafted workmanship. The disk is studded with rich purple Swarovski crystals around its edge, adding color and sparkle to the object, along with an attaching loop the features a single row of the glitzy stones.

Playing off of the pendant's structure, the bracelet in this set features a delicate cross-hatched weave design within a sturdier framework of color-coordinated rhinestone chain. Suggesting substance and weight with the cuff-like composition yet bringing an ethereal airiness to the set with the openwork mesh of the design, the bracelet is a captivating study in harmony and contrast that both draws and pleases the eye. The 14.5 centimeter length, supported by a 6 centimeter extension chain, makes for a comfortable fit for a wide variety of wrists. The earrings in this set bring out the color and shine, creating an overall sense of elegance and delicate beauty. In a classic chandelier shape, Swarovski crystals in dark and light purple play hopscotch with each other as the fall from the base, ending in dangling crystal finials. Picking up even the slightest of movements to show off the famously plentiful facets of the stones, the earrings create immediate visual interest while setting the stage for the stones in the necklace and bracelet.

An Ethnic Bead Necklace For Great Occasions

Every once in a while, as most jewelry lovers well know, a piece comes along which commands an extra special spot in the treasured jewelry box. Though many may cherish a piece handed down through the generations or which is otherwise attached to some sentimental appeal, there are jewelry items that by their aesthetic merit alone can warrant such an elevated status. And though it might seem surprising amidst the hype and hubbub surrounding expensive ice, it's certainly not necessary that a beloved item should burn a hole through the wallet. Costume jewelry achieves the appeal and intrigue of the essential look without demanding a lot of dough -- all the more reason to find a favorite. With the blossoming Spring, bright colors are emerging throughout the landscape, and wardrobes are becoming a bit more adventurous. It's the perfect season for trying something new, and Janeo has the perfect necklace for a tulip-hued adventure.



This bold yet carefully constructed necklace recalls the beauty of tribal adornments, deep in the jungles, rain forests, and plains of the earth's most remote and natural places. Brimming with mystery and hints of far-away lands, the piece is a perfect choice for bringing your own natural spirit to life. The necklace sits attractively on the decolte without being too long or constricting, and goes well with just about any top or outfit. The necklace features a large center stone with carmine red and burgundy tones surrounded by a playful yet elegant metal sculptural scroll. Two deep, ochre-hued cylindrical beads flank this centerpiece, while two beautiful marbled amber spheres complete the series. These elements combine to form a warm and pleasing palate that nevertheless supports the whimsy and international feel of the necklace as a whole.
The “stars of the show” are supported by various complementary beads, ranging from the subtle to the outstanding and eye-catching. Silver-toned beads carved with intricate geometrical patterns and specially antiqued continue the old-world feel and ethnically divers appeal of the necklace, while cylindrical and oval wooden beads bring out the piece's colors with a swirled finish of rich brown and golden tones. Tiny round metal beads tie the piece together and keep everything nicely spaced and punctuated.



The brightness and radiant glow of this necklace makes it a caring gift to give someone special, especially for those who understand the importance of culture and who embrace the craftsmanship and design traditions of people from around the world. The necklace makes a meaningful self-gift as well, empowering the wearer with artistic strength and a sense of broad-mindedness. As the weather begins to heat up and necklines become ever more open to ornamentation, this piece is sure to make -- and receive -- great statements wherever it goes.
