Celebrity Styling: Ashlee Simpson
Posted July 22nd, 2008

blog-725celebstyling_r1_c1.jpg

Celebrities usually seem to have their style down, but we decided to have a little fun and see what we would’ve done as a stylist. Our model: Ashlee Simpson. At a Nickolodeon event, the energetic mom-to-be donned a sophisticated grey dress. Doesn’t she look great? Although she already gets an “A” in our books, we couldn’t help but wonder how she’d look with marvelous new accessories. Ashlee Simpson, Take 2.

In order to match but add a bit of fun, we gave Ashlee Jessica Elliot and Exhibitionist jewelry. The Jessica Elliot Silver Iron Clover Lariat goes nicely with her outfit and adds a traditional pattern to her modern garb. The matching Jessica Elliot Silver Iron Clover Earrings only complement her appearance even more. The best thing about Jessica Elliot jewelry is that it is interesting yet elegant.

Adding just a touch of flair, we paired Ashlee’s Jessica Elliot jewelry with the Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Channel Gemstone Ring. In the same color scheme as her cute dress and belt, this ring is a great accessory for her look.

All together, her ensemble is captivating. With the jewelry we chose, Ashlee’s style goes from cute and fresh to eye-catching.

The Sky’s the Limit
Posted July 17th, 2008

There are all sorts of looks you can create, so long as you’re willing to take some risks. What happens when you dabble with silver jewelry, flirt with gold and gemstones, and go all out with all three? Well, for one thing, you’re going to have a chic look that’s totally you. Are you ready to shake things up?

silverlayout1.jpgThe allure of Sterling Silver is: the versatility of the surface’s cool shiny luster, and our extensive collection of Silver Fashion Jewelry is so fantastic we’re sure you’ll find something you love. The great thing is that when you’re selecting your jewelry, you don’t have to stay within one brand and you can scroll through several brands’ silver jewelry designs at once and mix and match different pieces.

Jennifer Zeuner Sterling Silver Serpent Charm Bracelet is a stunning piece for your look, and matches the Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Pave Snake Earrings perfectly. Lisa Stewart’s vintage Silver Teardrop Necklace  great when you add one of Christie Martin’s Old English Initial Necklace. If you have a second piercing, the Arena Copenhagen Love Silver Heart Studs will soften your look.

goldpinkberry1.jpgIf you’re wearing gold jewelry, soften your image by adding colorful gemstones to the mix. Kacey K’s rose and yellow gold Two Tone Monogram Ring has the sort of appeal that’s glamorous and charming. Rebecca Norman Pink Tourmaline Teardrop Earrings have a delicate appeal, and the pink tourmaline gemstones will sparkle alongside the rose gold of the Kacey K ring. One, two, three, four, it’s up to you how wear it. The funky hammered Gorjana Gold Square Stackable Rings are bring just the right amount of spice to this look. Add the Jessica Elliot Gold Iron Ornate Lariat and the Jami Rodriguez Tangled Nature Necklace for an unusual layered necklace look, and the Rebecca Norman Gold Bangle Set to complete the ensemble.

Feeling bold? Don’t be scared to skirt the rule of mixing silver with gold. This is one rule that was meant to be broken. If you see 2 gemstones on different designs that look good, go for it and make it work! Playing with fire and knowing you won’t get burned has never been more fun.mixed-collage1.jpg

Pair the Kacey K Cutout Single Letter Gold Mongram Necklace with the Arena CPH Malil Necklace to get a look that’s put together and chic. Personalized monogram pendants look great with gemstones. The Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Serpent and Pyramid Stone Ring is an impressive sturdy ring that will finish your look with quite a bit of style, and it will look great with the Tracy Matthews Marquise Faceted Bracelet. Add a playful element with one of Jessica Kagan Cushman’s quote bangles. Her “Never Give Up,” or “I Want to Be the Girl with the Most Cake” bangles might be exactly what you want for tonight. Lata K Black Onyx Illusion Long Earrings is the perfect finishing touch; Kenneth Jay Lane Black Wood Teardrop Earrings are a great substitute if you’d like a more playful look.

When it’s Classic, it’ll Last Forever
Posted July 16th, 2008

classic1.jpg

It only takes seconds after Audrey Hepburn crosses the busy New York street in Breakfast at Tiffany for us to take in her timeless style and realize something magical is about to happen. The little black dress, noir sunglasses, pearls, and low heeled pumps quickly became a fashion formula for women all around the world. Trends may come and go and fads will always fade in and out as quickly as the seasons change, but looks that are both elegant and classic will withstand the test of time. Though Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Elizabeth Taylor made their indelible marks on Hollywood over thirty years ago, their classic looks have remained something to aspire to.

It’s essential to find gorgeous knockout pieces that are understated and demure (at first glance!) to perfect this class act. Since diamonds will always be a girl’s best friend all the way to the end, add Brian Danielle’s 14k white gold Diamond Blossom Necklace, the Zasha White Gold Hatched Ring, and the Tracy Matthews’ Delicate Single Textured Ribbon Bracelet for a look that’s reminiscent of these iconic women.

You’ll look classically elegant in a pair of tiny stud earrings. Try Brian Danielle’s White Gold Multi Diamond Studs for a splurge and Tracy Matthews’ Sterling Silver Nugget Studs if you’re looking to save. The sterling silver Jessica Elliot Antique Rosary with Clover and Pearls and the Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Serpent and Pyramid Stone Ring are great alternatives!

Just because you’re following in these fashion icons’ footsteps doesn’t mean you have to avoid color or gold jewelry. Add a splash of color with the Marcia Moran Blue Quartz Ring and Tracy Matthews’ Smooth Medium Cuff to make your night even more special. Try our recommendations, and look to designers like Brian Danielle, Kacey K, Kenneth Jay Lane, Tracy Matthews, Jessica Elliot, and Zasha for jewelry that twinkles with the vintage Hollywood classic style you crave.

Item of the Week: Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Necklace
Posted June 27th, 2008

itemoftheweekw.jpg

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.

New Exhibitionist Sterling Silver Jewelry
Posted June 26th, 2008

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.
