Add Vintage Appeal To Your Look With A Pocket Watch Necklace!

Ida Hsiang on Nov 6, 2009 2:24 PM PST

One accessory of the past that I wish had never gone out of style is the pocket watch necklace, or pendant watch. There's something so refined and sophisticated about this vintage-inspired timepiece, dangling elegantly from a chain and worn as a necklace, or placed carefully inside a breast pocket. While watches can also be beautiful, a watch necklace is not only eye-catching, but unique and practical as well. Is there anything else you could ask for from a piece of jewelry? With the layered look still at the forefront of jewelry trends today, a pocket watch necklace frees up a wrist from an everyday watch and allows you to pile on a few more bangles and bracelets. Plus, a pocket watch necklace nestled amongst other chains and necklaces adds interest and texture, giving the wearer a look that's both vintage and modern. Take a look at some of my favorites by clicking on the slideshow!

New Classics: Rose Gold Jewelry

Ida Hsiang on Sep 15, 2009 3:29 PM PDT

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!

Fall Accessories Bring Silver And Gold Together At Last!

Alex Gambardella on Sep 2, 2009 8:22 AM PDT

Whoever told you that silver and gold were clashing colors and therefore should never mingle within the same ensemble was seriously ill-advised! Though slightly unexpected, pairing silver and gold -- especially in the same piece -- is a bold and stunning combo, and it's popping up all over jewelry and accessories trends for the upcoming fall season! Mix things up with a chunky braided chain necklace, or tie your outfit together with a multicolored stud belt, among a variety of other chic options. While I certainly don't encourage you to simply pile on all the jewelry you own or accessorize without a second thought at color-coordination, just be aware that the two metals don't repel each other like opposite ends of a magnet, and can look great layered and mixed-and-matched. Take a look at the slideshow for some of the hottest multi-metal accessories!

What time is it? Time to get a new watch -- and possibly finally return some of those missed calls that have been piling up on your PDA. Unfortunately this "On The Other Line" Telephone Cord Watch from Uncommon Goods can't help you make phone calls, but it is a cute throwback to the pre-wireless world of long-distance communication. Made from recycled telephone cords and adorned with a vintage phone key, the timepiece is fun, functional, and artsy-chic. Plus, the stretchy cord eliminates the need for add-on links and resizing to suit your wrist. And you gotta admit, you kind of missed absent-mindedly twirling the cord around while you chit-chatted your way to an outrageous phone bill.

Price: $65
Who Found It: chelly was the first to add the "On The Other Line" Telephone Cord Watch to the Hive.
