A Night to Remember

On Wednesday, October 8th our Founder and CEO, Janet Goldman, was invited to visit the White House to join Michelle Obama for a Celebration of Design. She was among some of the most esteemed designers in the fashion and jewelry industry, including Diane von Furstenberg, Carolina Herrera, Kara Ross, Alexis Bittar, Cathy Waterman, and many more. The White House is truly spectacular and the event was a once in a lifetime experience. Here are some of our memories from the this incredibly special night!

Michelle Obama was so warm, friendly and welcoming. She personally greeted all guests with a special receiving line. When it was Janet’s turn, Michelle greeted her with open arms and kissed her twice. She made us feel at home in this truly exquisite place, the White House.

Of course, Diane von Furstenberg was in attendance. She is the most charming and friendly woman, getting in line with everyone and warmly greeting those around her. She is truly a top class act and was a treat to meet.

Janet was so excited to rekindle with an old friend, Carolina Herrera.

Janet and her sister Phyllis with their favorite, Eleanor Roosevelt.

It was great to spend time with Kara Ross, a fellow jewelry designer.

Janet was happy to share the experience with another friend in the jewelry industry, Cathy Waterman and her daughter Claire.

It was great to see an old friend, Alexis Bittar.

Michelle left us with these inspiring words: “When you’re dressed right and feeling great about the way you are, it gives you confidence that shows through”

Summer Trends: Layering Necklaces

Layering has quickly become one of this summers hottest trends. Whether it be necklaces, bracelets or rings, we encourage everyone to pile the pieces on to make a unique statement with every outfit! Pieces like this Lena Skadegard necklace make pulling off this trend effortless, all the work is done for you!

 

 

You can also get creative by doubling up a long necklace and pairing it with a shorter one like these Mary Louise pieces. 

 

We love this trend for its endless options and ability to fit any look and personality!

ACADEMY AWARDS 2014

Of course, our favorite thing about watching the Academy Awards is the stunning jewelry worn on the red carpet. This year, we sat down in front of our TVs with E! News, ready to watch the stars roll out. We’ve put together a list of some of our most coveted looks and hope you enjoyed them just as much! (all image credits are from Getty and Wire image.) 

 

Naomi Watts looked absolutely incredible! We loved her choice of the winter white trend, which was also worn by a few other celebs. However, THAT necklace really knocked it out of the park !  

 

Another favorite styling moment of ours was of course the infamous, Angelina Jolie. The actress was supposedly wearing over 40cts of diamonds with those earrings. This close up shot really allows us to see the beauty and size of the stones. 

 

 

We can’t forget about all of the jewels that Jennifer Garner stacked on her wrists and fingers. The pieces all complemented each other so well and looked perfect with her silver dress. The diamonds on all of the pieces are flawless!
