    Love of sparkles

    I’m all about convenience when it comes to online shopping and jewelry is no exception.  Anjolee is a reputable online jewelry destination to check out for their fine jewelry selection that is also customizable to your own personal preference.  Here are a few brilliant while classy pieces (tailored to my liking from the site) to don through the work day and out to dinner in the evening.  My jewelry obsession right now is anything and everything – sparkly.

    Among their selection of diamond bracelets, the vintage style is most impressive to me especially in the combination of gold, diamond and amethyst – how exquisite!  A classic riviera diamond necklace is so effortlessly chic with a button shirt for work and glamorous with a LBD in the evening.  As for my personal collection, I would start with a romantic set of diamond stud earrings or a colorful gemstone bracelet in contemporary style to wear with everything.

    How about you?  What sparkly style suits you the best?

    Classic, feminine, timeless

    work jewelry

    A pearl necklace lends a chic, timeless feel to any ensemble whether draped over a LBD (Coco Chanel) or a basic tee.  There are numerous ways to wear pearl necklaces for everyday wear or special occasions.  A long, single strand of pearls (60″) is perfect for looping (2 or 3 times) or tying in a knot.  You can also layer pearl necklaces in different lengths – the more you layer, the bigger the impact (Carrie Bradshaw)!  Or just buy a multi-strand pearl necklace to make a statement.  Pearls look great when mixed with metals as well.  Here are some of my favorites.

    Budget Find – Bee’s Knees Gems

    Gorgeous in purple.  I’ve been wearing this sparkly beauty since it arrived more than a week ago.  Thanks to Laura, the owner of Bee’s Knees Gems as she so kindly offered me a wonderful jewelry piece to review.  I definitely suggest her site as one of your destinations for jewelry on a budget purchases.  I was most smitten with the Sterling Silver and Purple Amethyst Ring.  It’s such a pretty vintage-inspired ring.  If you are into vintage style jewelry, don’t miss out on the wonderful collection at such “steal” prices especially on the rings.  Right now, Laura is offering WorkChic readers a special 40% off discount on all regular priced items with code workchic40.  Which means, this ring can be yours for only $47.40 $79.  I know!

    More ways to wear jewelry to work

    There is no better way to dress up a simple outfit than to accessorize with great jewelry.  Regardless of what your jewelry preference is – either bold and bright, or simple and understated – choosing the right accessories to complement your outfit is a smart way to bring fashion into the workplace.

    Statement Necklaces
    Statement necklaces are big, bold and make an impact.  They are intended to be worn alone over a sweater or a dress, and paired with a simple, delicate bracelet, or petite earrings to highlight yet not take away from the art of the piece.  Statement necklaces are meant to cause attention and they are often like wearing art on an outfit.

    how to wear statement necklace

    Choose a statement necklace in either mixed metals, gold, silver or tungsten to wear over a t-shirt, sweater or dress to make a big impression.  Bib necklaces are also statement pieces that rest higher on the collar (though not like a choker) that are intended to be worn directly above the v-neckline and rest on the collarbone.  Choose a statement necklace that will enhance a basic sweater or t-shirt that you own, and you’ll be amazed at how well your wardrobe is instantly lifted.

    Work those sparkles

    Oh, Swarovski.  We are swooned by the vintage yet modern look of the Swarovski Salome Necklace and Salome Ring.  Its perfect size (necklace) and the versatile colors equal jewelry made for everyday wear – including the office.  Although the necklace is now sold out online at the sale price.  Check out your nearest local boutique for stock or buy at Amazon at full retail.  And you know Valentine’s Day is just around the corner… hint, hint ladies!
