Jewelry Feature: Animal Jewelry

I chose two similar pieces (panther and cougar) to use for my first experiment with animal jewelry and I just loved the outcome.  

Most animal pieces are more statement pieces so I would be careful with how much you wear at the same time.  I think these two similar pieces are complimentary but not overboard for an overall look. The gold panther necklace isn't too bulky so it pairs great with the bigger cougar bracelet. Note: We do have a matching panther bracelet if you would like to match your bracelet to your necklace! 

Styling Tip: When wearing such statement pieces of jewelry that may even have a little bit of color to them I would suggest sticking to a neutral color pallete with your clothes to keep the spotlight on the fun jewelry. 

I'm having so much fun today browsing the animal section of JTV.com and picking out my favorite animal pieces.  I will have to say I think the white and champagne diamond snake ring tops my list though!  What about you, what's your favorite animal piece on JTV.com?

Jewelry Feature: Valentine's Day

After lots of browsing JTV.com for Valentine's Day ideas there was nothing that stood out more than these adorable drusy pieces. I love how "out-of-the-box" they are in that they're not your typical heart jewelry. The drusy quartz is a beautiful option, so sparkly and not your standard red heart gemstone, these pieces can be worn with anything! Shop the Drusy necklace, the Drusy ring and the Drusy bracelet all on JTV.com.

Beth's Picks

Beth Nye is one of our E-Commerce Jewelry Merchants so she knows all our JTV jewelry like the back of her hand! We asked Beth to share her Holiday picks with us and they certainly don't dissappoint! Here are Beth's top 6 picks and a little bit on why she loves each item. 

1. Bella Luce Eternity Band

This is a great ring to wear by itself or stacked with others (this is used in our stack ring image on the rings page.) It has fabulous sparkle and will definitely catch attention, yet it is basic enough that you can wear it anytime. The ring has a low profile so it is incredibly comfortable for an eternity band. Shop the Bella Luce Eternity Band. 

2.  Off Park Crystal Bangle Bracelet

This is my Holiday statement making bracelet.  It has brilliant sparkle with the crystals and is a wonderful item to wear alone or use to stack smaller bracelets with to create a great layered look.  Some items I like to stack with this bracelet are CPB109, OPJ107Y, and WSM315.  Shop the Off Park Crystal Bangle Bracelet

3. Artisan of Turkey Earrings

A chandelier earring is a must!  This specific pair of earrings is a great length to give them the right amount of movement to be noticed.  The earrings are substantial in size that complementing jewelry is not required to wear with them.  They make a great statement on their own with the hand-made workmanship and finishing details as well.  These earrings are a great option for both dressing up or down which makes them a wonderful wardrobe piece that can go with almost anything. Shop the Artisan of Turkey Chandelier earrings.  

4. Pearl Necklace

This pearl necklace gives you a fabulous layered look in one necklace.  It has 8 strands that are full of gold and pearls.  A very classic look with a modern twist.  This is a statement necklace that can be complimented with a pair of pearl stud earrings to finish your look and would take a little black dress from simple to elegant in minutes. Shop the Pearl Necklace.

5. Smoky Quartz Ring

Cocktail Rings!  This is a massive 17.7ctw Smoky Quartz ring that is set in 14kt gold.  The ring has a fabulous gold design that sets it apart from a solitaire to a work or art and it takes nothing away from the giant gemstone on your finger.  The fabulous color of Smoky Quartz makes this ring amazing as well because it will go with almost anything.  Shop the Smoky Quartz Ring.

6. Moissanite Elite Stud Earrings

A pair of diamond stud earrings are a must in every girl’s jewelry box.  A carat in each ear is even more fabulous and is sure to be noticed.  This pair of studs is your true go anywhere and with anything you have in your closet and will never go out of style!  These Moissanite studs will fool everyone as well at a fraction of the cost you would pay for diamonds.  The fire and brilliance in Moissanite gives these studs outstanding sparkle and make them one of my favorite items we sell.  Shop the Moissanite Elite Stud Earrings.

Jewelry Fashion Trend: Stacked Bracelets

If you follow current jewelry trends or possibly follow us on Pinterest you've probably seen the trend of stacking and layering bracelets for a bold statement. I've picked out a few bracelets that would look great stacked or standing alone.  I personally love the bracelet stacking trend, what about you?  

Shop Bracelet 1, Bracelet 2, Bracelet 3, Bracelet 4
