There’s nothing more exciting than the possibility of seeing something and ordering it exactly as you want it. We made that a reality last week with a brand new batch of colors for the Ettika beaded and leather jewelry collections.

Now you can choose between 17 colors for leather bracelets like the Leather Small Peace Bracelet. The colors for these bracelets are black, blue, brown, burgundy, green, light brown, malive (a shade that falls halfway between pink and purple), olive, orange, pink, purple, red, salmon, tan, turquoise, white and yellow. There are 32 different leather bracelets, and though each style has a different charm, the material of the bracelet and its gold clasp remain unchanged.

You can also choose the colors of the beads for bracelets like the Peace & Love Bracelet and rosary chains like the Key of Love Rosary Necklace. There are 14 colors available for these 6 bracelets and 16 necklaces: black, brown, burgundy, gold, green, orange, pink, purple, silver, tan, teal, turquoise, white and yellow. All of these Ettika bracelets and necklaces are priced between $50-$100, making the temptation to mix and match colors, materials, and charms even harder to resist.

The price of gold has been rising in the past year, making our favorite jewelry staple less affordable. The Commonwealth Bank has just anticipated that the price of gold will continue to fluctuate until September. With the US dollar in the state that it is and the price of gold rising, it’s time to find alternatives, in order to protect our pocketbooks and our fashion sense.

Ettika offers a multitude of casual and fun designs, from Hamsa necklaces to peace sign rosaries.

For bangle lovers, Blu’s Neon Bangle Set is an extraordinary display of eye-catching, technicolor style. These bangles are the perfect summer accessory and can be paired with a cute summery dress or used to dress down evening attire.

Another elegant substitute for gold is silver. Christie Martin’s Silver Graffiti Ring combines the best of both worlds: the elegance of silver with the youthfulness of graffiti type. This ring can also be personalized.

With so many great alternatives to gold available, it’s hard to understand why it takes the crisis of rising prices in order for us to explore unusual jewelry!

Ever since the latest Exhibitionist sterling silver jewelry has arrived, our staff has been falling hard for the edgy-chic style that’s now become synonymous with the brand name. The designs are unexpected, daring, and bold. All of the Exhibitionist jewelry is well made with sturdy and high-quality sterling silver, and though some necklaces do have pendants that are solely made of sterling silver, the trend is the mixture of beautiful genuine gemstones with the cool sterling silver chain links, earrings and rings. The Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Maltese Chain and Pendant is a fine example of a necklace that combines gemstones and silver so effortlessly in a striking design. A large turquoise gemstone hangs loosely from the chain, cradled by sturdy sterling silver craftsmanship on the back of the stone. The irony of the piece lies in the placement of a tilted crown just above the gemstone. It’s as if the turquoise stone possesses its own crown. Exhibitionist’s Sterling Silver Maltese Chain and Pendant is an unforgettable dazzling necklace that will make you wonder how you ever lived without it.

Finding something valuable is such an exciting discovery. Before you bust out a metal detector, perhaps you should rummage through your jewelry box. Old jewelry can be a hidden treasure. Long-forgotten gold chains and plain hoop earrings are an untouched canvas: refurbishing old jewelry can boost your wardrobe without compromising your savings. By updating older pieces, you will obtain a unique look that no one else can replicate.

One of the easiest ways to refurbish jewelry is by adding charms. Alternate your heart pendant with an animal figurine or a seashell in honor of summer. Create themed jewelry too. Are you a fan of pirates? Find an assortment of chain lengths and attach charms: anchors, replica antique coins, and a seahorse. Do you have a chic, feminine style? Pair your favorite bracelets with tiny bows and heart charms. Are you an aficionado of elegance and sophistication? Update a plain pair of hoop earrings with embellished charms, such as Zasha’s Fleur De Lis and White Gold Almond earring charms.

Another option is borrowing old brooches from relatives. Attached to a chain or soft material bracelet, brooches can make quite the addition to an old piece of jewelry. And the best part is that when you get bored, you can easily swap the brooch for a new look!

Trendsetting R&B/Pop singer Rihanna is known for her willingness to be daring and risky with her fashion choices, and that is what has always set her apart from the crowd. She purchased several pieces from Exhibitionist in recent months and has been spotted wearing them with her own twists and style. She was seen recently with the Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Double Sword Earrings. The silver drop earrings trend of a few seasons ago takes on new meaning with these earrings. It features two swords suspended from two chains of different lengths, the blade of one sword precariously sliding against the other. The swords aren’t fastened to each other, which only increases the playfulness of these earrings.

We’ve just added new Exhibitionist rings, earrings, and necklaces made with genuine sterling silver and beautiful gemstones. Exhibitionist is a New York City based jewelry company that specializes in handmade sterling silver jewelry that skates between edgy and chic without apology. Symbolism runs deep in the pendants, charms and filigree of these pieces, but the message always sounds loudly and clearly: there’s more to me than meets the eye. There are pendants that are nothing more than a heart that’s been crowned to pendants that star two dancing serpents. When you hold one of the collection’s sterling silver necklaces and you can feel the weight of the chain your palm, you’ll realize how extraordinarily well made these pieces are.

One standout from the Exhibitionist collection is the impressive Sterling Silver Channel Gemstone Ring. It seems as if it oozes power and once on your finger, you’ll be able to charm almost anyone. The best feature of this ring is that it looks just as stunning on either a man or a woman. The stark simplicity of the Sterling Silver Angel Wing Necklace carries a message of its own. You can be swept away with the magic of believing in an angel watching over you, or you can make everyone wonder if you are an angel in disguise. The Sterling Silver Serpent and Cross Earrings brings the words gothic chic to mind, as it ties together two unlikely symbols and creates something unusual, striking and beautiful. The Sterling Silver Skull Studs are the perfect no thought necessary accessory, and it’s size will go undetected until someone comes in for a closer look. The Large Studded Stone Pendant and the Sterling Silver Heart and Crown Necklace are two fine examples of the sturdiness and timelessness of Exhibitionist necklaces. Both pieces challenge onlookers to think about the statement you are making, and that’s the true power of these Exhibitionist jewels.
