Gatsby Deco Designs

HOT new jewelry trend!  The Great Gatsby is a soon to be released movie that features stunning jewels and costumes.  Director Baz Lermon takes a new spin on this 1920′s Scott Fitzgerald novel.

I can’t wait for this movie to come out, the trailers look amazing and it will surely be filled with lavish jewels and stunning clothes.  Entertaining yes, but I don’t think it will be as good as the 1974 original.

Tiffany & Co. on fith ave has a window collection of their art deco heirloom baulble Gatsby pieces.  Some where lent to the film production. Our favorite offering is the shimmering diamond and pearl headpiece that Carey Mulligan’s Daisy dons in the Gatsby movie. Sadly, this stunner will set you back $200,000, so we’ll just have to daydream about it, along with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Who is style icon and why?

Question. Who is your ultimate style icon and why?

Answer.  Classic, casual, and effortless

Classic, casual, and cool.  Gwyneth Paltrow is my icon, her style is effortless   My favorite movie is when she played Emily Bradford Taylor in “The Perfect Murder.”  Her outfits are stunning in this movie!  She wears the most amazing pieces, I have a strong feeling Gwyneth had a lot of input in the wardrobes.  Gwyneth looks most amazing with straight hair, but she can sport it either way.  This superb actress has recently become a mega star in hit movies such as The Avengers, and Iron Man trilogy.  Gwyneth has style, her outfits are always put together and jewelry collection is simple and chic.  If I could raid her closet I would take all of her Stella McCartney collection.  I attached a few pictures of recent looks that I adore.

Rose Gold – Jewelry Trend

rose celebrity
Rose gold has become this years most popular trend.  Rose gold with a bold satin finish has never looked more chic.  Rose gold jewelry has always been around, but recently popular celebrities and designers such as Michael Koors have made it feminine and popular.  Rose gold has perfect for the spring season and becoming more popular with diamond engagement rings.  The look is not as typical as white gold, but replacing yellow gold.  Rose gold has a skin tone and looks good on fair skin.  Many thing rose gold is pink, and its not!  Its more of a copper color and can be masculine.  One of our most popular rings is a hammered 14k rose gold wedding band measuring 6MM wide.  Pop icons and celebs such as Jennifer Aniston have been seen wearing rose gold earrings and watches.
Rose gold is just as durable as white gold or yellow gold.  Use coupon code LOYALTY5 to get 5% off the rose gold morganite halo split shank ring below!
