A Wintry Tale of Golden Wonder

When the weather turns cold and gusts of icy wind or drifts of powdery snow threaten to make treks outside a shivering ordeal, there's little that's more enjoyable than a nice warm sweater –but accessorizing a favorite cold weather clothing item can be an even greater joy, highlighting personal taste and making fashion fun again, even in the midst of bitter winter days. Some of the very best winter accessories take on the theme of the cold itself, and the season offers ample opportunities for getting inspired by the beauty and complexity of nature. There is, perhaps, no symbol more appreciated for its representation of that natural and elaborate beauty than the snowflake, with intricate icy branches that recall the glitter of diamonds and the grace of perfect symmetry. What symbol or design could be better, then, for a winter-themed costume jewellery brooch? We're not sure, and we won't have to find out, either, thanks to Janeo's limited edition 14k gold snowflake brooch pin.

Janeo's 14k gold snowflake pin

Measuring a generous four and one tenths of a centimeter by three centimeters, this pin is perfect for brightening a boring winter sweater or securing a woolly scarf. No matter how it's worn, however, this classic yet contemporary piece has all the right components for delighting the eyes and playing with seasonal style. Beginning with a sizable golden snowflake, the brooch allows the eyes to follow geometric patterns of branches, culminating in three-lobed 14 karat gold finials that gleam with intensity and warmth. Set at the very center of the snowflake, a swirl of Janeo's beloved unbranded Swarovski crystals reflects the light and displays a beautiful array of colors, while a central larger stone creates a sense of luxury. Positioned next to the central snowflake, a smaller version creates subtle counterpoint, offsetting the design and adding a decidedly modern feel. The women's costume jewellery pin is crafted with a fully-functional stick pin and closure to allow for easy application to most types of fabrics.

Summing up the natural spirit of the season in gorgeous costume jewellery materials, this brooch is sure to become a favorite item for bringing out the best of the holidays and for wearing well into the new year. The piece recalls the majesty of one of mother earth's most awe-inspiring and cherished phenomenons, and its delicacy serves to remind all who look upon it that while there may be many snowflakes in a single fall, each one illustrates a character and visual aspect to be appreciated and considered on its own. Wearing this exceptional example of quality costume jewellery, you –or a lucky gift recipient-- will feel that special character, embodied. Don't miss out on this delightful limited edition piece; once stocks of these special snowflakes are purchased and sent out in Janeo's signature organza wrapping, they'll be gone for good, leaving jewellery lovers to look for their winter inspirational wearables elsewhere.

A Ring by Any Other Name

There are so many things that can make a ring extra special. One of the first items that's bound to pop into the minds of some fashionistas is the ever-popular diamond, but there's certainly no rule demanding that all great jewellery must be encrusted with the most expensive and multi-faceted jewels possible (well, maybe if you're Marilyn Monroe –but then, we'd dare her to compare our incredible unbranded Swarovski crystals). Flowers are a popular choice, but we've never quite seen a flower ring with as much refined yet dramatic appeal as our new red rose crystal cocktail ring. Practically begging onlookers to capture your hand for a sweet sniff at its inviting petals, the rose is a large and lovely tribute to one of nature's most cherished flowers. Perfectly displaying the essence of fun and flirtiness in a cocktail ring, this piece has just a touch of the funky, with an ample dosage of classic beauty that's sure to make any gift recipient –even yourself-- involuntarily flutter a few eyelashes.

Janeo's red rose Swarovski crystal cocktail ring

Coated in romantic red shades of enamel, the rose gives off a rich and heady hue, making it a choice compliment for a stunning red dress or a stand-out accessory for pairing with a little black dress or other low-key clothing item. The rose itself is a true delight for the eyes, but it's the smatterings of Swarovski crystals that give this ring it's real magic. Strewn across the tops of the petals and set in 14k gold, trios of bright, lipstick-red crystals in Siam dance airily around the ring, providing plenty of sparkle power in all the right places. The outermost petals, dipped in the same luscious, gleaming 14 karat gold plate, feature echoing trios of crystals in clear, giving the piece a lovely counterpoint to the drama of the red. That drama is perhaps most evident in the ring's jaw-dropping centerpiece, which consists of a giant red Swarovski crystal belying the beauty of the very center of the rose, so surrounded in soft and coyly coiling petals. The ring features an adjustable band to fit any finger, and is just heavy enough to provide a satisfying weight without being overbearing or getting in the way; a great piece for going out on the town or wherever the times take you.

A garden theme may be popular for costume jewellery lovers, but be warned; you'll find no garden here. This ring is fixed on being the star of the show, drawing out the intoxicating appeal of a perfect blossom and letting it linger as long as possible in front of adoring eyes. A masterpiece made for a masterful jewellery collector, this red rose ring is a dream come true for stealing a bit of nature's most beloved bounty and offering it to those who look your way –so don't be surprised if it gets you some special attention.

Spring Accessories Unveiled at Neiman Marcus

While some parts of the world may be feeling the full effects of the season, the depths of winter have yet to hit many areas, and tinges of cold may be seeming to carefully creep their way into homes and wardrobes, bringing out the heaviest of coats, scarves, and other winter weather accessories. How odd it might feel, then, to consider what the fashion world will offer this Spring; with many months of outerwear in store for scores of fashion lovers, the light and airy creations of the warmer months may seem a world away. But for patrons of Neiman Marcus, the time is ripe for getting a sneak peak at the accessories that will reign supreme come Spring.
As with any time of year, this Spring's accessory craze is bound to center largely on creative costume jewellery, with a special emphasis that Neiman Marcus representatives say will focus heavily on the wrists. Stacked, sparkling, or smooth, bracelets are set to play a major role in the season's costume jewellery collections, with a lighter concentration on the neck. Fun and flirty bags combined with interesting structural and fabric-covered shoes will also make significant appearances, suggests the major designer retailer. One of the biggest themes for Spring is set to circle around the idea of the safari, with plenty of neutral greens, rich browns, pastels, beiges, and tans creating a windswept, sandy, yet ultimately chic palette.
There's call for solid accessory pieces with hints of feminine appeal, making a laid-back march through the tones of the desert and the coast, calling fashionistas to bring out their natural fibers and help express the beauty of the earth. But that doesn't mean that classic sparkle and shine won't have their places amongst the season's all-star pieces. Neiman Marcus lines up jewellery bedecked with Swarovski crystals, creamy metal finishes, and sparkling gems along with more trendy items, letting shoppers mix and match the alternating rhythms of the subtle and the spectacular.
Janeo is stocked with a range of costume jewellery that can compliment the trends of any season, but it especially excels in delivering bangle bracelets and other treasures for the wrist with an ultra-high fashion quotient. From the delicate to the statement-making, Janeo's bracelets can be stacked, assorted, or worn alone to compliment any outfit. Putting together the perfect Spring accessory wardrobe may find you browsing through the shoes and bags an Neiman Marcus or your favorite fashion outlet, but when it comes to sporting trendy costume jewellery, your search is at an end.

The charm evokes a wonderful light-heartedness that is sure to add a bounce to anyone's step. The flash drive jewellery key ring is finished off with an attractive rhodium chain and a set of whimsical round baby blue beads, complimenting the hues of the crystals.

Fashion Design Students Support Heart Health with Red Coats Project

Sometimes, it can seem as though there's a special awareness day or black-tie benefit for a health or charitable concern at nearly every point on the calendar, but some causes are likely to be more personally meaningful than others. After all, we can't exactly remember the last time we wore a ribbon for National Frozen Foods Month, nor can we recall any enthusiastic supporters sharing their harrowing tales of a life once lived without microwaveable dinners. By contrast, however, issues that take on some of the greatest challenges of our time, such as heart health, are probably worthy of attention, and when the fashion world gets involved, there's an extra incentive to put personal effort and thought into contributing to meaningful change.
Such a contribution has been, at least in part, the goal of a program recently unveiled at Marist College in New York. The college's fashion design program supported a small group of students in creating a series of red coats for raising awareness about heart health for the American Heart Association. The coats were recently put on display at the college, after which they will be presented at a luncheon held by the AHA, finally to retire at an awards ceremony back at Marist. The coats ranged from comfortable cashmere to modern wide-belted warmers, all sporting vibrant and stand-out shades of red.

A representative of the American Heart Association speaks to fashion design students

Fashion's ability to reach out to people across a wide range of cultures and backgrounds with deep visual messages and meaning can make it a powerful medium for advocacy, and securing the assistance of a major fashion department or brand is an attractive prospect for many organizations. The American Heart Association is continually searching for ways in which to improve public understanding and concern about heart health, as related medical concerns constitute some of the most devastating and widespread in the country and around the world.
Of course, you don't have to make your own coat to show your support for the AHA or for those who are struggling with heart-related health problems. Donating to a reputable charity is always a good option, and donning some fabulous scarlet costume jewellery can make you feel even more involved. Janeo has a selection of costume jewellery pieces in red that can tickle the hues in your jewellery box and help you show your support for heart health. This pair of heart-shaped red Swarovski crystal earrings topped with clear crystal studs is a stellar option.

Janeo's red Swarovski crystal earrings

But not all heart health messages necessarily have to say it with red. If pink's more to your liking, you can still bring out the best of jewellery with a meaning with Janeo's contemporary double heart Swarovski crystal pin in two delectable shades of pink.

No matter how you choose to do your part for heart health, you can find a way to symbolize the strength that comes from confronting today's challenges with quality, affordable costume jewellery, from .925 sterling silver bangles to bright and lively glass beads necklaces.

Opulence for Every Age and Event

The crown jewels of royal treasure collections, the sparkling necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches, and rings bedecking celebrities as they stroll down the red carpet, the over-sized gems placed carefully in the beckoning windows of the finest shops –around the world, in nearly every culture, opulent jewelry has the power to inspire and seduce. While growing up, many of us don our parents' pretty pieces, imagining ourselves as flamboyant, over-the-top characters covered in the most rare and precious jewels. We might dream of receiving a museum-worthy piece as a gift from a lover, or we might trek to a museum itself to take in the dazzling beauty of an historically important piece. Many people never know the true delight, however, of feeling and seeing a truly extraordinary and extravagant jewellery necklace set or item lighting up their face. With the growing popularity of costume jewellery, and the shopping-savvy public, this trend is changing. At Janeo, one of our favorite ways to express and share our love of opulent costume jewellery bracelets, earrings, and other crystal jewellery and .925 sterling silver pieces is to fulfill the dreams of our customers who have always wanted to explore the world of guilty jewelry pleasures. Though we have many jewellery sets and wholesale costume jewellery collections that achieve this goal, one of our favorite rich and refined pieces is this unbranded Swarovski crystal necklace and earring set in amethyst with silver detail.

Michael Jackson's Stage Costumes on Display

The recent craze over the life and works of Michael Jackson, who passed away earlier this year, has been heating up even more in recent days and weeks in anticipation of the release of This is It, the documentary that will give fans a taste of the series of comeback concerts that would have marked a major world-wide tour for Jackson had his unexpected death been kept at bay. Eager to see clips of the King of Pop doing his famous dance moves and working through the demands of dancer auditions and other behind-the-scenes action, fans are gearing up to get a final glimpse of the star who reigned on the pop charts for decades with mega-hit songs and music videos. For the concerts, Jackson had a bevy of designers from around the world at beck and call to create some of the most outlandish and inventive stage costumes imaginable –all with tributes to Jackson's original style. Yet these costumes won't be given much, if any, of a spotlight in This is It; for a look at what the star would have donned on stage, fans can venture to the O2 Arena in London, or can wait for the traveling collection to come to New York and Tokyo.
The collection of costumes represents some of the most painstakingly produced stage items ever made, with such items as intricate embroidered suits, eye-popping shoulder pad structures, and a single glove designed for the performance of “Billie Jean” which features scores of Swarovski crystals lit by emerging LED technology that was rushed into production for the sole purpose of serving Jackson's call for unforgettable costumes. Well-known for extraordinary pieces that started trends and defined entire eras in music, Jackson could have been reasonably expected to attend his concerts in high style. But one look at the costumes on display in this traveling collection shows the power of what can be accomplished when one of the world's greatest fashion icons pairs with designers such as Zaldy, Dior, and Balmain.
Those who take in the documentary are sure to find a farewell befitting of the King of Pop, with incredible song and dance numbers that doubtless would have had critics raving had the live performances been carried out, but which nevertheless convey the raw talent and skill of Jackson through rehearsal alone. Paired with the splendor of his costumes (not to mention his penchant for beautiful pins, belts, and other costume jewellery items) and the visual tribute to the star's unique and unforgettable place in fashion history, fans can find comfort, inspiration, and celebration of a man who seemed larger than life, even if his final years produced some degree of scandal and confusion. As with so many emotions, concepts, and ideas, fashion has decided that it can take on the job of sorting everything out; all that's needed to get the perfect parting picture of Jackson is to behold his over the top yet entirely appropriate comeback tour costume collection.

Fall Fashion's Favorite New Necklace

Autumn is the most-loved season for many people, even with the allure of dewy, fresh Spring, crisp and icy Winter, and warm, balmy Summer with promises of beaches and tropical cocktails. There's something about the Fall that makes it especially appealing, from the feel of putting on a favorite cable-knit sweater that's been waiting patiently in a dresser drawer, to whipping up a big batch of a hearty harvest soup. By far one of the most frequently adored facets of Autumn is the season's display of gorgeous colors, seen in the turning leaves of trees, lit up in the sky during ever-earlier sunsets, and in the tones of fires being lit to warm homes and make traditional sweet and savory treats. Packing up all of this seasonal magic into a single jewellery piece might seem like a tall order, and that may well be the case; nevertheless, we've found a necklace that has perfectly hit the mark when it comes to evoking Autumnal splendor, and we couldn't be more pleased to offer it to our costume jewellery lovers this year.

our baroque autumnal cosutme jewellery necklace

Our baroque style topaz-toned necklace is a dream composed of many different elements and ideas, coming together in substance and form to create an impressive beauty that's bound to be the highlight of any autumn outfit. Beginning with several strands of a milk-chocolate colored cord, the necklace wraps around the collarbones in a slightly tousled wave, and is studded here and there with multi-faceted, amber-hued crystal beads, as well as creamy golden slider beads that help balance the citrusy bite of the crystals. Popping with color at unexpected intervals, the sides of the necklace are but the foundations upon which the incredible centerpiece has been built. With ornate, antiqued silver hardware beads interspersed with the topaz, the necklace becomes increasingly rich with tone and shape until it reaches a magnificent moulded center, comprised of a baroque-style flourish in pewter finish, studded with rich, deep mahogany Swarovski crystals in rounds and pear shapes. Strung from the ends of this unusual yet undeniably ornate and unifying piece, clusters of topaz crystal beads, strands of silver chain-link, and tassels of dark brown cord flitter gracefully, suggesting the gentle, whimsical dance of falling leaves during a late afternoon walk.

This necklace is the perfect item to top any ensemble, whether formal or casual, this season, and is especially apt to steal the show at parties and special events. Wrapping together so many beloved elements of Autumn, the necklace bestows not only a warm, golden glow upon its wearer, perfect for turning heads and lighting up eyes, but has all the delicate and bold nuances of the highest styles in the baroque fashion in twenty three ample centimeters, giving any look an instantly antiqued, refined feel. This season, step out in true seasonal style with costume jewellery that knows just how to capture imagination and memory.

Channel Your Inner Funky Ice Princess

Some of the best elements of enjoying fashion and accessories is when a certain pieces is able to create a mood, inspire and emotion, or start a conversation, all through its collection of disparate elements and nuances. Costume jewellery is especially adept at serving this purpose, and has long been hailed as one of the best ways to brighten up an outfit and invigorate personal well-being at the same time. Some of the best pieces for accomplishing these goals are also the funkiest or most adventurous, and our limited edition sapphire Swarovski crystal cocktail ring is a prime example. One of our favorite designs, this ring is bound to dazzle its wearer and onlookers with an icy blast of crystalline beauty in an interesting format that appeals to the inner creative talent in everyone. With the approach of winter and many cold days ahead, facing the temperature and the icy blue skies with a celebration of the tones and treats of the season is a great way to enjoy a dose of seasonal fashion.

ice blue cocktail ring

Our cocktail ring comes in a free size, allowing for easy adjusting to fit any finger while staying secure to avoid any mishaps. The ring measures two centimeters square, creating a solid, structural metal base that's unexpected for a ring but which instantly creates a unique appeal. Studded in several rows along the metal base are blue Swarovski crystals in a variety of shapes, lending an idyllic glow to the piece that's sure to convey the delicate frost on branches on a cold winter morning, complete with glinting points of light that shift and morph with the wearer's movement. The ring's lower half is laced with a generous smattering of round, multi-faceted crystals, while the upper halves are dotted with inventive shapes that waltz and weave their way into the geometric harmony of the piece. Baguettes, ovals, emerald-cuts, and even modern squared princess cuts are beautifully displayed in classic Swarovski clarity and brilliance, yet this cool dream of a ring can be owned without the need to pay branded Swarovski prices.

The instant glamour and modern appeal created by this ring is a perfect match for holiday parties and other winter engagements that call for something reminiscent of the season, but will never bore or rely on tired traditional elements to make its message clear. Able to evoke goosebumps and fond memories of warm winter nights around the fire as a child at the same time, this ring is a great way to celebrate the colors of snow and sky, and to bring out the best of your sparkling inner spirit. A fantastic gift for someone special and equally nice for a personal treat, this cocktail ring represents the very best of costume jewellery's talent for telling beautiful stories –whether it's one facet or feature at a time or all worn together in a cluster of affordable, effortless style.

An Elegant Abstraction Ready for Your Own Meaning

Costume jewellery has enjoyed a strong concentration on literal forms for ages; pieces depicting animals, special signs, and other recognizable objects are especially popular and often show off just what the gorgeous materials and structures of costume jewellery can do. But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of excellent examples of abstract art in costume pieces. The ability to create a sense of beauty and inspire emotion through line and form without directly recalling a certain subject may be a goal of fine jewellery, costing shoppers oodles of cash, but it's also something that costume jewellery can pull off wonderfully without requiring a complete emptying of the pockets. One of the best examples we've ever seen of such talent with abstract form is in this stunning pearl, crystal, and bronze brooch pin, a Janeo favorite that's sure to find itself nestled into sweaters, coats, and other cold weather staples this season.

pearl abstract brooch

The brooch begins with a simple statement in bronze metal, polished to a rich lustre that catches the light without being too showy. This perfect pin backdrop has been fashioned into a sweeping, curved line, reminiscent of the elegant arch of a ballerina's uplifted arm or the subtle curling of steam over a mug of warm cocoa. While the metal is in itself a pleasing and attractive sight, it is but the stage for a symphony of harmonious costume jewellery elements that can be matched with nearly any outfit or jewellery collection. Slightly off-centered in a complimentary angle, a cluster of three black “leaves” rests in a vision of tiny black Swarovski crystals. The leaf shapes may inspire pictures of twirling grapevines or falling aspen foliage, or they may appear more like hearts or other decorative elements. The beauty of this piece is largely in the ambiguity of the crystal shapes, and the ability of the wearer –along with anyone else viewing the brooch-- to conjure up their own idea of what might be suggested by the shapes.

alternate view of Janeo's inventive crystal and pearl brooch

Playing a beautiful staccato around the entire pin, generously sized gunmetal pearls add counterpoint to the piece and draw the eye with their creamy, classic allure. The pearls create a warmth that serves to offset the sleekness of the metal bas and add extra interest to the crystal shapes. Wearing this pin, whether to a special occasion or as part of an everyday jewellery wardrobe, is an experience for the eyes as well as for the mind, and will play with your ideas about jewellery as art, and will make you take on new perspectives as you adorn yourself with costume jewellery. You'll also be able to use the pin as a conversation starter, and are bound to receive plenty of compliments; in fact, having a story to tell about this pin, and what you see in it, will likely become one of the greatest ice-breakers in your repertoire. Affordable and lightweight, this pin is perfect for any recipient –including you.

A Ring for Daydreaming of Spring

As the nights begin to turn chilly, and the leaves take on their characteristic fall colors, fashionistas around the globe are welcoming the emergence of new boots and hats, new peacoats and gloves, and new clothing and accessories items in every shape and color. There are doubtless many ways to celebrate the changing of the seasons, but there's always a little sadness present for the ending of seasons past; we've experienced our own pining for the warmer days of spring, when the flowers that are just now dying were first budding up and preparing to come out in full bloom. Luckily, costume jewellery is perfectly capable of capturing the look and feel of every season, and when we miss the fancy-free days of spring as the fall settles itself around us like an old sweater, we simply slip on our pink Swarovski crystal garden ring.

This effortlessly feminine ring has everything a girl could want in a piece of whimsical fashion jewellery. At the very center is a dainty and airy image of a cluster of springtime flowers, dominated by a pair of pretty roses. The stuff of china patterns and old pieces of wall paper, this image is sure to help you recall your favorite springs gone by, and is an excellent base for the spectacular show of sparkle that's to come. The base is elegantly rounded and polished, and is firmly crafted into the etched and antiqued silver setting. Surrounding this circle of spring is a filigree masterpiece in silver, swirling this way and that like a fresh flower proclaiming its beauty to the whistling wind.
The silver filigree is studded with our affordable, unbranded Swarovski crystals in both dark and light pink, creating a fireworks-like display that will light up even the most gray of fall days. The ring measures a generous three by three centimeters across, and comes in a fully adjustable free size, meaning you can wear it on any finger you'd like, or you can select it as a gift for someone special, safe in the knowledge that it will fit perfectly. We've taken this piece out of our special cocktail ring jewellery box during the fairer season itself with a great amount of fashion success and personal satisfaction, but somehow it seems to work its magic best when acting as a representative of the spring that has said goodbye, and as an ambassador of the season yet to come.

Classic Studs for Great Occasions, Including Every Day

One of the greatest things about modern costume jewellery is its great ability to bring beauty, excitement, and interest to fashionable looks in nearly every setting imaginable. With the power of glistening Swarovski crystals, gleaming metals in gold, rhodium, .925 silver, pewter, and other finishes, and rich, captivating enamels, costume jewellery has the ability to fashion something for every outfit and any night out –or in. While a fair majority of costume jewellery pieces are made to soak up all of the spotlight, not every item is quite as showy. Costume jewellery earrings in particular can make subtle and elegant statements, and our .925 sterling silver stud earrings with clear Swarovski crystals make an excellent case for the argument. Recalling the simple glamour of classic diamond studs, our unbranded and positively brilliant crystal earrings are a perfect choice for a night out on the town, a stroll through the park, or even a standard, every-day pair.

There's certainly something magical about the weight and feel of ornate chandelier or drop earrings when stepping out in an evening gown or other special ensemble, but there are times when a clean and basic look is far more complimentary. Costume jewellery is able to serve both purposes equally well, and while there's no shortage of extravagant crystal and metal earrings, more refined and understated items can give your look the perfect atmosphere.
As traditionally admired and treasured as a diamond solitaire ring or a tennis bracelet, our beautifully bezel-set clear Swarovski crystal stud earrings measure ten millimeters in diameter, with just one millimeter played out in lustrous .925 silver. The generously sized gems are rich with all the facets and flickers of light that have made Swarovski a highly desirable name for decades. Easy to pair with costume jewellery necklaces, bangle bracelets, hair accessories, and other bits of glitter, our studs are equally appealing when worn alone, and instantly bring out the sparkle of eyes and the glow of rosy cheeks.

A classic jewellery item that no modern wardrobe should be without, the pair makes a memorable and timeless gift and is a great investment for oneself, as well. Picture yourself or someone special making a grand entrance, whether with a dramatic gown or a simple structured suit, adorned with the instant appeal of these dazzling stud earrings. Never ostentatious, yet fully able to light up a smile and add an extra wink of glam to any setting, these earrings will never go out of style or lose their effortless attraction.
When you shop for costume jewellery, your eyes may first be drawn to the most eye-popping pieces on offer, yet there are many classic treasures to be found, as well. Claim the elegance of decades of jewellery accessories for yourself or a loved one with our clear Swarovski .925 stud earrings. You'll find that sometimes, great glamour comes in small packages.

Fun Flourishes with Juicy Colors

Traditionally, brooches have commanded the realm of the elegant accessory; whether finishing a favorite scarf or shawl in a sparkling culmination or showing off a new sweater, brooches have tended to take on a decidedly formal throughout many different movements in jewellery design. Affordable jewelry has often attempted to mimic the fine pieces worn by the wealthy and famous, sometimes with admirable results. But the brooch of today can easily be crafted within the affordable jewelry range without having to settle for being a mere mock-up of another piece. The modern brooch isn't just about elegance; it's about flourish, fun, and showing off the beauty of prized materials. Our multicolored crystal and rhinestone brooch is a perfect example of the joy and personality of modern pins, and is a colorful celebration of substance and style that will bring life and energy to any outfit.

multi-colored costume jewellery brooch

Starting with a swirling, fluid, brass-plated stem, the brooch weaves a sophisticated series of arches in subdued metal to serve as the basis for a bright and jubilant palette. Studded along the stem with a whimsical variety, bold, jewel-toned Swarovski crystals sparkle with light and color. Ranging from vibrant aquamarine to candy pink and lemon yellow, these multi-faceted round gems make the brooch pop with interest and help create the perfect setting for the floral brilliance to come.
And come it does; bursting with fresh color and a unique texture, a many-petaled crystal flower steals the show, offset by a matching pear-shaped deep green leaf. The petals, in alternating hues of red, pink, amber, turquoise, and green, are individually carved with a rugged surface that plays with the light, creating an endlessly interesting sunburst design that's sure to draw attention. At the very center of the flower, a generous aurora borealis crystal winks and glimmers with hints of a thousand different colors, a true luxury for the eyes. Measuring a substantial yet pleasantly lightweight six by three and a half centimeters, the brooch is an ideal size for a number of wearing options.
The complement of choice for a modern bride's ensemble, this costume jewelry brooch is bursting with appeal that's timeless and refined yet proudly progressive at the same time. Pinned to a dress or worn as a corsage, this brooch is sure to make colorful memories and bring out the beauty and meaning of the occasion. But you don't have to say “I do” to justify a brilliant entrance with this eye-catching brooch. Just right for both business attire and casual wear, the jeweled pin is a great addition to an otherwise monochromatic theme, or can help bring together the many elements of a more eclectic outfit. Complementary during the warmer months and a cheerful reminder of the coming spring when it's cold, the pin is a true treat for the senses and deserves a place of honor in any jewellery box.

While cell phones these days may seem to come equipped with every accessory under the sun, incorporating scores of extra options and add-ons that help people communicate and stay entertained, their design often leaves something wanting.

Swarovski crystals are purrfectly laid out across the surface of the charm; tiny, round, and gorgeously clear sparklers comprise the kitty's head and ears, while three jet black crystals define her eyes and nose.

An Ample Dose of Pink

Imagine the smooth and effortlessly scrolling lines of classic Victorian filigree, working its way around a cluster of gems with myriad finials and flourishes that draw the eye and send it skipping about a beautiful piece of jewelry. That's the attraction behind our beautiful chandelier earrings, which take their stylistic cues from a variety of sources. The elegant jewelry of bygone eras is fully present in these earrings, with a sense of the traditional that's updated for modern jewellery mavens. With quality, smooth metal bases that alternate between strong defining lines and delicate swirls that give the earrings a sense of whimsy and flair, the pair is at once a faithful acknowledgment of the beauty of designs of the past and a testament to the power of modern pops of color.

That color is delivered through a series of stunning Swarovski crystals, noted for their incredible ability to catch the light and project vibrant colors that make a big statement from just a little sparkling stone. The earrings feature two rich pink Swarovskis, one positioned vertically in an oval shape at the very top of the filigree, and one round stone serving as a beautiful centerpiece. The delicious pink tone of these stones is off-set by a series of softer rounds, arranged beneath the earrings' focal point in a graceful line that reinforces the gentleness of the color. Complementing the sparkling show of hues set off by the Swarovskis, the earrings are finished in three dramatic hot pink glass beads. These beads are a fiery and attention-getting touch, with interesting, swirling cuts and a slightly oblong shape that's great for providing counterpoint to the fluid lines of the earring bases. Ready for even more beads? The impressive chandelier earring structures are suspended from long, sweeping, and graceful stems of near-clear pink beads in an exciting shape that brings a distinct modernity to the pair. And to make sure no detail is left unattended to with the bounty of pink's many shades, the earring posts themselves are embedded with single round Swarovskis.

Throughout the pieces, you'll find little details that really bring the beauty of classic chandelier earrings to the set. From tiny metal dots to expertly pointed swirl edges, these earrings understand the basic concept of the chandelier costume jewellery piece, and are intent on bringing that elaborate feel and timeless appeal to your jewelry collection. We love these earrings for their generous use of one of the hottest costume jewelry earrings colors around, but if you're not the world's biggest fan of pink, don't despair; we offer these gorgeous pairs in two other colors, as well. For those with an affinity for the hues of the sea and sky, our chandelier earrings in icy blues are a great gift or self-indulgence treat. If you prefer the fiery glow of aurora borealis crystals, try our affordable costume jewellery earrings in clear. No matter your personal palette, you're sure to turn heads in our classic chandelier earrings.
