    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!

    WhatsWear Has Discovered A Way To Tweet In Gold And Diamonds

    Twitter just became a whole lot more relevant to me. For today I learned that Twitter can now be something I wear around my neck... in gold.. and diamonds. Survival of the Hippest is a hot new accessories line inspired by the same social networking system that caused Miley Cyrus to rap and LL to fight even more publicly with Samantha Ronson. Using your TwitterName (or "hashtag" comment if you know what the hell this is), SOTH creates beautiful jewelry -- fairly reminiscent of the name necklaces made popular by Carrie Bradshaw. They are custom-made out of sterling silver, 14k gold and [drool] diamonds, and can be placed on a necklace, a key chain, a bracelet, an anklet or a pin. As SOTH pointed out, wearing your Twitter ID around a visible body part will helpfully point you out to your virtual friends, who they note "may not recognize you from your proper name or tiny Twitter picture"... seriously, a SOTH piece isn't just fashionable, it is your gilded token to making actual flesh-and-blood friends! Also, we must mention these necklaces and bracelets work perfectly as a fun layering piece or as a unique present for your friend who has everything. You can even show these Twitterific pieces to your grandchildren while explaining the Twitter phenomenon. Think about it, they'll most likely be vintage in just a couple decades! When you're not busy tweeting, don't forget to visit our friends at WhatsWear for more unique design finds!

    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!

With so many different types of stones and jewelry styles, we come to learn that not every look is right for us.

Capricorns, your reserved nature is perfect for an elegant, multi-strand lariat while a romantic Pisces may prefer something a little more unique and whimsical. The stars have spoken so turn to our slideshow to see your perfectly paired jewelry choice!

    Simply Divine: Tiffany Vine Sapphire and Diamond Bracelet

    Tiffany celebrates nature's patterns of intricate beauty with tender vines of 355 round and marquise diamonds that form a winding path through 441 perfectly matched sapphires. In fact, the exquisite stones began their journey long before, at the stonecutter's bench. In a feat of skill and precision, Tiffany stonecutters painstakingly cut each diamond that was then bead set in platinum, and hand carved each sapphire to fit the complex channel setting. The result captures the graceful movement of vines blooming against a midnight sky. $195,000 (ouch!) at Tiffany & Co.

    Miss Bibi Jewelry Let's You Wear Your Life in Miniature!

    Inspired by the world of childhood and nostalgia, Miss Bibi (Brigitte Giraudi) creates mini-sized household items and turns them into whimsical jewelry pieces. With a background in 3D Illustration and Stop Frame Animation, Miss Bibi started working by making models of miniature sets for animation movies. Then one day, her love of all things mini translated into the work of jewelry creations and so was born the first collection of miniaturized objects to wear! Made from silver and sometimes plated in gold, her first collection draws from not only household objects, but also from that famous detective game we all grew up with: Clue! Inspiration turned out mini chandeliers, knives, guns, and other less murderous household items. If you're feeling a little more dollhouse and less murder mystery, pick from an array of more gentle offerings like mini chairs, hearts, and high-heeled shoes. Check out the slideshow for some amazing tiny styles! See more and buy online at Missbibi.com, because really... who can resist anything made in miniature?
