Pauline Montupet on окт 13, 2009 4:18 PM PDT

Tupperware parties are so retro and Mad Men chic. But do you really want to try and sell tupperware to your friends when they have kitchens the size of a broom closet? Why not throw a new type of party where you can share your expertise on super cute inexpensive jewelry instead? Started in California, Stella & Dot has been popping up all over the states now. Sign up to be a party hostess and a Stella & Dot stylist will come to your house and provide a free personal shopper experience by letting you and your friends find some fun jewelry. Prices for the jewelry range from $29 to $250 and they have everything from dainty stackable rings and charm necklaces to large statement chains and beaded bibs. As a hostess you get a percentage of sales to use towards Stella & Dot (say hello to free jewelry!) as well as the option to buy some half-priced items. Check out the slideshow to see some of the jewelry and log on to www.stellanddot.com to find a stylist to book a party.

Stylishly Spooky Halloween Jewelry You'll Want To Wear All ...

Alex Gambardella on окт 13, 2009 2:17 PM PDT

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!

Hot In The Hive: Jules Smith Twilight Jewelry

Alex Gambardella on июл 24, 2009 6:24 AM PDT

Get your wallets ready, Twilighters! Jewelry designer Gina Nigrelli of Jules Smith designs has recently released a vampire-inspired collection in the light of the upcoming release of Twilight's sequel. As of now, the New Moon collection features an Edward's Smile necklace, a Jacob's Nemesis bracelet, and a Bella's Good Luck Charm bracelet, each bearing a toothy vampire grin charm of either silver, gold, or gunmetal. Unfortunately for Team Jacob fans like myself, hand-carved wolves are nowhere in sight (though I guess there's no point in wearing a wooden charm unless Jacob's the one fastening it to your wrist), but the collection's current pieces are still pretty sweet -- edgy, yet dainty enough to avoid being too tacky (or too creepy).

Price: $20-$65
Who Found It: xgalexy was the first to add Jules Smith New Moon Collection to the Hive.

Jewelry for You, Inspired By Your Diamond Dog

Lesley Scott on май 5, 2009 5:21 AM PDT

It was only a matter of time... fine jewelry inspired by pets such as dachshunds, pit bulls, poodles, chihuahuas, and labs (with German Shepherds, terriers, retrievers and schnauzers soon to come). Made from 18k matte yellow and white gold, and encrusted with hand-cut onyx, sapphires, and conflict-free micro-pave diamonds, the new collection from Diamond Dog New York also includes paws, hearts, and bones. Created by Suzanne Mates, a longtime recording studio exec who changed careers after getting her dog and realizing "a pet can change the world," a portion of the net profits is donated to no-kill shelters, making any of the rings, earrings, or charms perfect for fun-loving accessory hounds.

Say "so long!" to the quintessential heart pendants and sterling silver dog tags and unlock your own personal style with Tiffany & Co's new Keys Collection. The imaginative array of vintage key pendants were inspired by those from the Tiffany Archives and have been reworked from their original uses as keepsake box openers and diary keepers (who knows what secrets they once held!) and updated with a modern wearable chicness. From sterling silver and yellow and white gold to platinum and diamond-encrusted, the design possibilities are plentiful and it's difficult not to find something that fits with just about anyone's personal style among the variety of floral-inspired, medallion-like, heart-shaped, and classic-looking charms. Already spotted on the likes of Jessica Biel, it seems like these fanciful keys are sure to be a hot trend while still maintaining an air of uniqueness and mystery with so many styles to choose from.
