Fresh Gems
Jennifer Trask
February 28, 2010
Whether you’re stepping out with gal pals to see the latest Twilight flick or strolling through the moonlight with your very own Edward Cullen, go a little goth with jewelry that’s as dark as it is delicious. Designer Jennifer Trask magically mixes bits of raw nature with precious gems and metals to create spellbinding works of art. Her list of materials reads like a recipe for a witch’s brew: snake vertebrae, dragonfly wings, deer bones, glass fish and reptile eyes, snake skin, and sea urchin shells. Her otherworldly jewels often hold startling surprises: branches of gold, silver, or delicately wrought iron bear fruit of bone or seeds of stone, or even sprout fish-eye blossoms that return your gaze!

Soft Chic
February 2, 2010
Feminine, romantic adornments featuring sumptuous silks, luscious laces, and silky satins send a clear message this season: “soft chic” has taken the spotlight. Laurie Kaiser’s new Be Charming necklaces are a perfect example of this trend. These effortlessly elegant pieces offer up a symphony of delicious textures: richly hued hand-knotted silk shimmers against finely detailed charms accented with blackened gold and sprinkled with tiny gemstones. Try your hand at “soft chic” with pieces you already have in your jewelry box: weave delicate organza ribbon through a chunky chain, tie tiny satin bows onto a pair of drop earrings, or clip a silk corsage to a multi-strand pearl necklace. The possibilities are endless for adding a dash of soft chic to your style.
