As I get older I've come to realize the importance of nice jewelry. Of course, there's still a time and place for cheap and flashy pieces, but really, a lady needs some nice stuff! I've recently fallen head over heels for the pieces designed by label Made Her Think. The name alone is really cool, and the jewelry is all so unique! I am a huge fan of brushed metallics and this line of jewelry is full of beautiful pieces that are great quality without a huge price tag. My favorite piece is the Silver Foil Spike Rhinestone Ring. It has a cartoony appeal, but the colors are sophisticated enough to make them great for work or play... besides, the ring just really stands out when you wear it! If you're feeling a little more risque then step it up with the Exhaust Pipe Bracelet. Hard core fashion for all those tough chicks out there, this bracelet is truly an eye-catcher. I'm so glad to have discovered Made Her Think and all the beautiful pieces that need to be mine!

If I had a dollar for every time I became frustrated in my search for a particular pair of shoes, piece of jewelry, or statement-making dress and just wished I could start my own line and design my own, I probably wouldn't have quite enough money to actually do it, but I'd probably be pretty darn close! But funding problems aside, that's just what designer Caroline Ventura did when she just couldn't find the kind of jewelry she wanted to wear -- she started BRVTVS, her very own jewelry brand that filled the void for the pieces she specializes in. The result is delicate gold chains and gold-and-silk bracelets and necklaces -- which she describes as "fancy friendship bracelets" -- that she hand-makes herself (and even hand-writes a thank-you note to go with it!). If the brand is a bit too pricey for you, don't fret -- Ventura has big plans for a more modestly priced next collection featuring nautical-inspired string and bead bracelets if those are more up your alley! Until then, check out BRVTVS' most recent collection in the slideshow!
