This bright statement ring is the perfect way to add a little fun to a classic black gown or even just black jeans.

We’ll take one in every color. After all, who doesn’t need gemstones to match every outfit.


FYI: arm candy never went completely out of style. With the right metal to complement your skin tone, a well-fitted bangle brings both edge and elegance to an otherwise basic ensemble.

A tennis bracelet? Who could do without. After all, diamonds are a girl’s best friend.

Who says your diamonds have to be real? Fool the crowd with this eye-catching costume jewelry.


Then again, even the simplest trinkets find their way into wardrobes through the eras. Think of lockets passed down, a pearl replaced into different rings for different weddings, or religious medallions blessed with each birth. Who says you can’t start the same trend with a unique piece of your own choosing?
