    It's all about making a personal statement through jewelry these days. Chunky bracelets, multi-layered necklaces and huge earrings help add character and individual style to sleek outfits, but many times, these gorgeous works of wearable art cost more than we're willing to shell out. The great thing about statement jewelry is that it's eye-catching and highly memorable, but the downside is also how memorable it can be. Sure, you could wear your statement piece every day, and you'd certainly get your money's worth, but people would probably begin to notice and you might get bored of the piece yourself! Check out the slideshow for our favorite standout pieces and scoop up a few to add to your outfits- at under $50 each, you can shift your thinking to style statements, not bank statements!

    Who says you need a campy store-bought costume to be festive this Halloween? I'm all for dressing up, but there's more to getting into the haunted holiday spirit than black lipstick and fishnets. If you're a jewelry gal (but then again, what girl isn't?), there are tons of trendy Halloween-themed charms, pendants, bangles, and even cocktail rings that are bound to appeal to your inner trick-or-treater. This Swarovski Ghost Charm is an adorably festive addition to any charm bracelet or keychain, and if you aren't a huge arachnophobe like I am, this spider ring from Betsey Johnson is appropriately gothic-chic. But just because they're perfect for the spooky season doesn't mean they're too kitschy to wear after the 31st -- this skull-embellished wrap bracelet by Alexander McQueen will still be stylish even after all your candy has been devoured! Browse through the slideshow for some of my favorite festive jewelry!

    New Classics: Rose Gold Jewelry

    Was it Kanye who claimed that he would keep your "neck stayin' froze with that rose colored gold"? He's known for setting new trends and foreshadowing the popularity of rose gold is one of them. Things that sparkle and shine are almost always a good thing in any woman's book, and gold is no exception. In many cultures, gold not only symbolizes wealth and prosperity, but also luck, fertility and beauty. While there is no denying the value of gold and it's beauty, it is a precious metal that has been around for generations. Rose gold is a new and gorgeous way to amp up this traditional jewelry look and add a kiss of sunset red to the mix, producing a never before seen luster and color that is really eye-catching. From simple chains to more elaborate pieces, rose gold is definitely the new precious metal to lust over! Check out the slideshow for stunning rose gold pieces you'll want to see in your jewelry box!

    How To Make A Bangle From A Vintage Map

    Danielle West is a contributing member of CraftStylish, a site dedicated to do-it-yourself art and design projects. Below she shares a how-to on turning recycled maps and photos into a chic jewelry piece (and a wearable souvenir from your travels)!


    I absolutely love the look of images from old encyclopedias-- with a special weakness in my heart for old maps. I love everything about them-- the colors, the font, the bordering-- they're just perfect! These bracelets are rad to commemorate a meaningful location, to celebrate a faraway hometown, or for the restless traveler who is always wistfully thinking about elsewhere. The way I do this may seem a little daunting, but it's actually quite easy once you get into it. You need to cut the paper into strips or else they won't lie flat on the domed surface of the bangle. This leaves a little overlap near the edges, which we like to refer to as "that handmade character." First off, you'll need: a vintage map, a blank bangle (I get mine from diybangles.com, all sorts of shapes and sizes!), scissors, a foam brush, glue, a ruler, and some clear protective coating.

    Have you ever spent way too much time planning out the day's ensemble the night before, only to put it on the next morning and realize it looks significantly more "blah" on you than it did in your head? No matter how many layers, mixing-and-matching, and pops of color you might have tried to incorporate, something just seems to be missing. Don't fret, dear stylistas; as usual, Stylehive's Stylescopes are here to fix your fashion woes and provide you with stellar style advice that is sure to help you get through the week! A boringly bare outfit usually just needs a little glamming or glitzing up by means of jewelry -- a pendant necklace to keep a naked collar company, a dangly pair of earrings to keep the attention on your pretty face, some bangles to add a dash of flash to your wrists -- the possibilities are practically endless! The heavens forbid, however, that you go overboard with the bling, so make sure you choose your ornaments wisely... and that's where the stars come in! Aries girls can call on some old Hollywood glamor with an updated pearl necklace for some added classy flair to a seemingly everyday outfit, and Capricorns will show they mean business with a pair of gold coin earrings, just for example! Take a look at the slideshow to see what type of jewelry can help you adorn yourself appropriately for the week ahead!
