I thought I had scouted out just about every source of jewelry known to man or womankind.  I didn’t think there were any frontiers left to explore.

Wrong!

I actually knew of The Artful Home, already.  I can frequently  be found on their website looking at art prints, candles, candle holders, lamps, clocks and other things my house craves.  But, until this morning, I’d never browsed around and looked at their Jewelry.  In truth, I didn’t even realize they had jewelry.

This morning, though, I felt kind of adventerous (Spring has that effect on me.) - so I went snooping around.  The very first lovely I bumped into was the gorgeous “Angeline Bracelet” (Pictured above, left)- hand-fabricated from sterling silver and 22K gold bimetal and sterling silver cable.  There are matching earrings that are equally breathtaking.

I spent over 30 minutes looking at some of the other beautiful jewelry, and I can honestly say they have some of the most original, fashionable, and gorgeous jewelry online.  Click the link above, or the picture, to take a closer look - you’ll see for yourself exactly what I mean.

Zig Zag Bracelet

The feminine and sexy zig zag bracelet to the right is from a great, though fairly unknown website called My Jewelry Box. The Zig-Zag Yellow and White 14K Gold 7 3/4 inch Bracelet is one of their most desirable items, and that’s saying something because everything they have will make you weak in the knees.

The gorgeous curves of this sexy bracelet glisten with two colors of rich 14 karat gold. Delicate waves of yellow gold alternate with ripples of diamond-cut white gold. The best kind of jewelry is the eye-catching kind and this beauty certainly falls under that category.

While the Retail Value is $415.00, the My Jewelry Box price is $169, but it gets even better.  This bracelet, like a lot of other pieces of jewelry on the site, is on sale.  You can snag this high quality bracelet right now for just over $100.

Old Navy Beaded Cuff BraceletThe thing I like best about this  Old Navy Women’s Beaded Cuff Bracelet is the way it captures the energy and excitement of summer.

The colors even remind me of being in Florida - the blues representing the water (especially around the Keys) and the tan and white representing the sandy beaches. Small, shimmering beads are accented with larger wooden ones for contrast and texture. Beaded wire keeps its clean, cuff shape and makes it easy to slip on.  The bracelet shown is, obviously, Turquoise.  It’s also available in the colors Peach and Green.

Old Navy actually has countless gorgeous, and beautifully affordable clothes, jewelry, bags, belts, etc.  I get lost on their website finding one thing after the other.  Unfortunately we don’t have one in the town - or even county - where I live, so all my shopping (and wishing) had to be done online.  Not that that’s a problem.  My Old Navy store never closes!

The Old Navy Women’s Beaded Western Hat, below, would be a perfect match for this bracelet.  Add a sexy pair of cut-offs and a white cami, babydoll, or tank and it’ll be a summer to remember.

14K 8.25 CTW Diamond Cuff Bracelet I thought you might like to take a look at one of the most breathtaking bracelets in the world.  I’ve probably mentioned on this blog before that I collect certain accessories:  Purses, bracelets, and earrings.  I love all jewelry, but these are definitely my obsessions.  I love the look of multiple bracelets and/or bangles working together to pull off something special.  I usually pair up between 2 and 4 on each arm. I stopped wearing a watch long ago so I could have more real estate for my beloved bracelets.

I’m easy to spot in public, I’m the gal with plenty of bracelets looking around everywhere for a clock.

Every now and again, however, along comes a bracelet that’s so spectacularly gorgeous that you wouldn’t dare pair it with anything.  The diva of bracelets above is a 14K 8.25 CTW Diamond Cuff Bracelet from a website with more divas than Hollywood: allé Fine Jewelry.  They’re actually having a Pre Spring Sale, right now - and their jewelry is unbelievably beautiful. I’m not going to kid you, we’re talking about quality jewelry, here, so you’re looking at prices that reflect the quality.

Take a look around allé Fine Jewelry and see the magnificence that is Jewelry showing off.

Wide Band Mod Bracelet WatchGorgeousness!  This beauty is the Wide Band Mod Bracelet Watch  from JLo. 

Product Description:  Rose gold tone cuff bangle with white inlay. White glossy background with rose gold applied indexes.

I know I’ve seen a watch just like this on JLo before, I just can’t find the picture in my files. She wore a Grecian-type dress with this watch, if memory serves as well as I think it does.

The spectacular Sabina sunglasses would complete the perfect ONE - TWO punch.  I’m usually not that into sunglasses…I save my fashion passion for handbags, shoes, jewelry, and, clothes - but these pretty much blow me away.  They could convert me all by themselves.

JLo SunglassesProduct Description:

Sears Heart and Bar Link BraceletThe beautiful Heart and Bar Link Bracelet from Sears is on sale for only $47.99 - given that it’s normally $119.99, we have 72 reasons to grab one.

 Hmmm, or 144 reasons to buy two….. (Don’t make that face, husband dear, I’m only sort of kind of maybe kidding).

This beautiful sterling silver bracelet with heart and bar links is 7-1/2 in. long and has a toggle closure.  It’s available on the other side of the link below.  While you’re on the Sear’s website, you really should look around at their other pieces of Jewelry.  There are a lot of bargains to be had.  I think maybe they’re parting with some of the lovelies that are left over from Valentine’s Day.

Here’s a link directly to the Heart Bar Link Bracelet

Here’s one for the front of the Jewelry Department.

Enjoy!

Halle BerryOne of my favorite actresses (and a personal fashion idol) Halle Berry recently wowed them at the Ebony pre-Oscar Celebration on February 22, 2007.  Gorgeousness, you’ve met your perfect match!

The hair, the earrings, the dress, Halle, everything’s perfect - but the bracelet steals the show…from everything except Halle, of course.  This is one of the most beautiful bracelets I’ve ever seen.  By all means, click the picture to see the HQ version.

I’m trying to find out exactly who’s responsible for this amazing piece of jewelry.  There’s a designer out there who has earned the status a of gem god.  And I’d just like to thank him/her, that’s all.

Adina Snake Bracelet
Whoa - two bracelet posts in a row?  Where’s the variety in that?! 

Sorry, thrill seekers, I just couldn’t resist when I saw this sexy little bracelet.  I don’t pretend to be a fan of snakes - even toy snakes send me screaming for cover - but in the world of fashion, these guys couldn’t be much hotter.

This particular bracelet is the Adina Snake Bracelet from Pink Mascara.  Made of sterling silver, the bangle measures 2 - 1/2 inches across and is 8 inches in length.

The website offers a couple of matching Adina Snake Necklaces - pretty hot in their own right.  Clicking the link above will gain you access to all the jewelry and all the snakes you can charm.

Show Girl Bracelet Watch
Now here’s a watch that’s living the Glamorous life - Flossy Flossy.  Is this gorgeous or what?  I’ve spent more days than I’d ever care to count poking around in the world of jewelry, handbags, perfume and all things girl-y - but I’ve never seen a watch quite like this one.

Maybe it’s because cats are another great passion of mine, but I absolutely love this bracelet watch.  I’m even wild about the name:  The  Show Girl Bracelet Watch.

Indeed!

The signature cat is outlined in crystals on tiger eye texture degrade dials in pink.  The crown has matching color cabochon inset.

Just look at how shiny and elegant this piece is - can’t you picture it with a great black or white top or dress? - Something somewhat understated because this would be the showstopper.  Exactly what you’d expect from a Bracelet Watch that goes by the name Show Girl.

Tennis BraceletsTennis bracelets are a favorite of mine.  I think it’s because they’re pretty, sparkly and feminine - a lethal trio.   The BIRTHSTONE COLOR TENNIS BRACELET from AVON is  Birthstone-colored glass in a classic silvertone setting. 7″L with 1″ extender.

Although they’re birthstone colors, I see absolutely nothing wrong with combining them to make a gorgeous statement like the model in the picture.  Especially since they’re priced at 2 for $20!

AVON jewelry lasts forever - I have pieces that my mother got, like 100 years ago.  They simply do no tear up, change colors or run away from home. 

AVON Night Magic Lotion Something else I love about AVON is that they’re a large patch of Americana - their logo, alone, stirs up nothing but great memories and sweet nostalgia.  Going through brochures with my mom, grandmother and aunt, trying every perfume they’ve EVER thrown out, as well as every lotion, cream, eyeshadow, and nail polish.  Oh, the nail polish!  I’ve spent a small fortune on nail polish alone. The Perfumed Skin Softener to the left (NIGHT MAGIC EVENING MUSK PERFUMED SKIN SOFTENER 5OZ141G) is another staple, as is SOFT MUSK Eau de Cologne Spray Soft Musk Perfume.

I love Bath and Body Works - especially the Japanese Cherry Blossom scent - but it seems to me that AVON lasts even longer.  I’m not sure why, to be honest, but AVON will last two forevers - even though I use it just as often as the other brands.

I think each product comes with little fairies that refill the bottle each night.

Much appreciated, little bottle-filling fairies, much appreciated.
