Janis Savitt Gold and Steel Bracelet vs BR Manor Bracelet
I love the mixed chain look, the Janis Savitt is chunky and sturdy which makes it great for pulling off the look. But it is $400 for something that might be fleeting. It is 18K gold and brass with agate embellishments, so you are getting some value, but this is not a timeless piece. So, … Continue reading “Janis Savitt Gold and Steel Bracelet vs BR Manor Bracelet”
Blake Lively in Van Cleef & Arpels
Just when I thought Van Cleef & Arpels’ Alhambra collection was getting majorly overexposed–counterfeit versions are a dime a dozen in Manhattan–Blake Lively goes and makes me change my mind. She was spotted on the set of “Gossip Girl” not too long ago wearing the jeweler’s turquoise and white gold butterfly pendant as she shot … Continue reading “Blake Lively in Van Cleef & Arpels”

I only wish there was an “i” in “marry me” so there would be room for a big diamond on the “i”‘s dot 🙂 Other than that the only concern I would have … Continue reading “Solange Azagury-Partridge Marry Me Ring”
Jessica Alba x Van Cleef & Arpels Bracelet
Clad in a delightfully simple red column Valentino gown while attending a private dinner celebrating the opening of the “Valentino Garavani Archives” private museum on the outskirts of Paris, Jessica Alba was a picture of sheer perfection–save a ruffle or two. To complement her look? A soft upsweep hairdo and a stunning Van Cleef & … Continue reading “Jessica Alba x Van Cleef & Arpels Bracelet”
