Chain Dreams
Posted August 15th, 2008

Chains make fashion a bold statement. From thin, delicate chains to chunky, bold ones, you will find the perfect chain for your outfit at Max and Chloe. Chains give another dimension to any outfit. They draw the eye and bring confidence to the wearer. Try a chain necklace with a casual or more formal outfit and feel the difference. Dream big and wear chain jewelry. There’s no quicker way to grab attention and show the world the confident girl you really are.

For a loud declaration of confidence, try the CC Skye Thin Chain Necklace. While the thin chain section seems withdrawn, the white and gold chain bottom is sure to catch everyone’s eye. Make a bold statement with the Deborah Grivas Designs Matte Black Mixed Chain Layered Necklace. The mix of onyx and matte black links makes for a dramatic entrance.

Looking for a delicate touch to an evening dress? Try the Deborah Grivas Designs Marquis Gold Chain. With soft links, this chain is perfect for a cute little dress or longer frock. Slip on the Deborah Grivas Designs Gold Chain Necklace as an alternative that is a bit bolder. Its stronger links make the necklace a bit flashier. For a fun and fresh chain look, accessorize with the Gorjana Gold G Ring Necklace. The necklace is unique and interesting, which will draw attention your way.

Not a fan of necklaces? Try the Lisa Stewart Chain Cuff. This cuff is very distinct and unique looking. Worn with a party dress, it is a wonderful contrast to delicate cuffs and bracelets and will make you look quite fierce.

Sparkle with star-inspired jewelry! There’s nothing more beautiful than a star studded sky. Actually, now there’s competition: you! Don some star jewelry for a glamorous effect, night and day. The stars can’t compete with that!

Star necklaces are absolutely fun and chic. Try them on in all different styles. The Gorjana Gold Super Star Necklace is simple and features two stars, one large and one small. Another, the Gorjana Gold Star Wrap Necklace, has stars scattered throughout the chain. Feeling adventurous? Stand out in the Samantha House Your Highness Necklace. Speckled with stars, this one is sure to be eye-catching. Bold? Slip on the Blu Black Star Necklace; Lindsey Lohan sported similar earrings not too long ago!

If you’re a fan of large charms, try the Lisa Stewart Moon and Star Necklace; the large star and moon are accompanied by a lovely crystal detail. Looking for a chic charm? Dazzle with the Arena CPH Elsie Gold Star Necklace. It is very simple and feminine. For a knockout star appearance, glitter your finger with the Brian Danielle Diamond Star Ring. It will make actual stars twinkle with envy. Finally, a great addition to any evening outfit, the Carolina Diamond Moon and Star Necklace is a gorgeous piece. Get ready to shine!

A Splash of Purple on the Red Carpet
Posted July 21st, 2008

Jewel toned dresses in bright bold colors strike the right key on big nights. Grey’s Anatomy’s Sara Ramirez and Forgetting Sarah Marshall’s Kristen Bell wore gorgeous royal purple strapless dresses when they glided down the red carpet this year. Sara looked fantastic at January’s Screen Actors Guild Awards in her Angel Sanchez gown, and Kristen’s cute Jill Stuart minidress was a hit at last week’s ESPY Awards. Sara played up her dress with silver and diamonds, and Kristen flirted with gold, which goes to show that you can make any outfit work with either, depending on the look you’re going for.

To get Sara Ramirez’s stacked bracelet look, try either the silver or gold bracelets from the Blu Textured Bangles, Kenneth Jay Lane Single Pyramid Cuff, and Blu Diamond Cuff Bracelets sets. Love the way Sara’s smile shines as brightly as her drop earrings? You can dazzle the camera on your big night with the Calico Juno Chandelier Drop Earrings, and finish your look with the Lorelei Gold Crackle Mary Clutch.

Kristen Bell kept her jewelry to a minimum, pairing two gold bangle bracelets with a gorgeous pendant on a yellow gold chain. Choose two of the Lisa Stewart Gold Gem Bangles or snag all three if you’re inspired by Kristen’s look. For a bit of trendy vintage charm, slip on the Melinda Maria Pod Cuff; the double bracelet will create the illusion of two unusal bracelets joined by a gorgeous centerpiece. Adding a wild card to the mix never hurt anyone, and the 22k yellow gold plated Pade Vavra Snake Cuff is one that will take your look from beautiful to gorgeous.

We love the risk Kristen took with her necklace length. Often we pair our strapless dresses with short necklace chains, or we opt not to wear a necklace like Sara did at the SAG Awards, or a short choker-style necklace. A princess or matinee necklace style with a chain that skims the top of your dress is a flattering trend that offers balance when you wear a strapless dress. Either the Kenneth Jay Lane White Flower Necklace or the Gorjana Gold Cupid Necklace are perfect lengths that you can wear to capture the look.

Destination: India
Posted July 18th, 2008

blog-718-india.jpg

Add international flair to your wardrobe this summer with Bollywood-inspired pieces. Introduce new jewelry to your outfits, such as big, colorful stone jewelry and clinking bangles. Color and design are two fundamental attributes of Indian jewelry. Feel the energy and excitement of Bollywood as you don several of these India-inspired pieces.

Bangles. Traditionally a staple of Indian jewelry, Bangles are generally worn in pairs and are preferable in high quality metals. The noise made by bangles clinking against each other has often been talked of in romantic songs and movies. Adorn your arms with a variety of these bangles and spend the night conducting your own symphony! Try Anna Beck Set of Gold Plated Bangles and Jennifer Zeuner Multicolored Gold Filled Bangles for a delightful touch.

Cuffs. Set in semi-precious stones and adorned with intricate designs, cuffs can be a perfect addition to any outfit. Wooden cuffs are especially natural looking and can be reminiscent of Bollywood films when set in bright colors. Slip the Isharya Turquoise Nizam Cuff and Isharya Nizam Wood Cuff on your wrists for a delicate look.

Outspoken necklaces. Big. Bold. Outspoken. Timidness will not be on your agenda with Bollywood-inspired necklaces. The bigger, the better. Try finding a piece with large stones or complicated designs. Gold is preferrable but silver will also do. Take a look at the Kenneth Jay Lane Emerald Royal Necklace and the Lisa Stewart Leaf Pendant with Mother of Pearl and get ready to move to the energy of Indian song.

Large earrings. Ornate earrings are perfect for the Bollywood theme. Try decorated drop earrings, such as Wendy Mink Tabitha Earrings or Wendy Mink Peacock Earrings.

Oversized rings. No Bollywood ensemble is complete without large, attention-grabbing rings. Make your fingers sparkle as much as your smile. Slip the Pade Vavra Sapphire Stalactite Ring and the Melinda Maria Pavé Marquis Ring onto your fingers. The grace of your hands moving to the music will be more captivating then ever before once you are decked out in Bollywood-inpsired bangles and rings.

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. It’s all about how you put your jewelry together, and how it reflects your personality or mood. The possibilities to do just that are truly endless at Max and Chloe, because with hundreds of designs by so many fabulous designers, you’re bound to find some unusual creations that fit together as if they were made just for you!
