The Look For Less: Nordstrom Chain Bracelet

FabSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Have you succumbed to the chunky chains trend? I have, and I already own a gold chain bracelet, so naturally I need a silver one. This Nordstrom Silver Chain Bracelet ($34, originally $58) is sleek and sophisticated. It's such a simple design, there must be something else out there!

Ta-da! This AE Chain Link Charm Bracelet, ($12, originally $16) is more up my alley. If that heart charm bugs and reminds you too much of Tiffany, just go ahead and plier it off. Now I can buy a couple more and stack 'em for maximum marvel.

Trend Alert: Chunky Chains

Chunky chains have since evolved from their days on Mr.T's neck to evoking a more polished, punky character. For all you good girls looking to add a little badass to your ensemble, adorn your collarbone with layered oversized chains. Hipsters, contrast your destroyed jeans and vests with a sleek gold chain bracelet. However you do it, make sure it's chunky and make sure it's funky.

Celebrity Style: Debra Messing

Debra stepped out like Wonder Woman at Saks's 10th Annual Key to the Cure charity kick-off party. Literally. She is wearing a Diane von Furstenberg dress from Furstenberg's new WW clothing collection. Debra can pull off a lot of things, and she's not afraid of color, so she looks brilliant in this printed maxi. And she didn't stop there. A purple patent clutch and gold chain bracelet furthered the fun.

CC Skye Braided Chain Leather Necklace: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 13:00:22 -0700

It was love at first sight when I found this CC Skye Braided Chain Leather Necklace ($200). I'm digging the Medusa-like braid and the color combo creates a wonderful contrast. It may look a little bulky at first, but imagine it with a flowy, peach dress and black Givenchy lace-ups. Think ballerina meets rocker babe.

Fabworthy: Bare Jewelry Stackable Twinkle Chain Rings

FabSugar — Tue, 29 May 2007 16:40:33 -0700

I was recently bedazzled by my friend's fingers sporting one of these dainty little Bare Jewelry Stackable Twinkle Chain Rings, $39. I just had to have one - or five. She had been in LA and didn't have much luck shopping but was very happy with this simple jewelry purchase. Worn alone, this chain ring is simplicity at its best. Or you can buy three - or five - and stack them, which would be my choice. She's a more minimal type of gal, and I love the look of a good shiny stack of rings - so we both win!

Trend Alert: Snake Chain Gang

FabSugar — Wed, 27 May 2009 03:50:22 -0700

Join Heidi and the snake chain gang. We've seen actual snakes on jewelry for a while now, but let's regress. The flat and slithery chain is possibly the sexiest chain out there. It's ideal for knot and layered designs because of its flat texture. The Martin Grant necklace Heidi wore to a McDonald's promotional event in Munich was pretty heavy duty, but that's how she rolls. Fit for Medusa, be my guest, mess with the snake chain gang.

Martin Grant Long Snake Chain - $795.00	Snake Chain Circle Earrings - $4.80
Multi Snake Chain Necklace - $6.80	Long Interlock Snake Chain Necklace - $18.00
Alexis Bittar Braided Black Cord, Rhodium and Gold Snake Chain Necklace - $347.00	Nested Chain Necklace - $24.50
Snake Chain Hoop Earrings - $3.80	Nicole Romano Necklace - $315.00
Hollow Snake Chain Necklace - $8.80

Glitterati: Gold & Citrus

FabSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Highlighting local talent is always nice, so allow me to introduce Gold & Citrus, a new jewelry line based in San Francisco. Founders Sara and Rich are in this together: Sara is the jewelry designer, Rich is the website designer. The former creates made-to-order pieces out of everything from beads to gemstones, feathers to antique sequins. And the only machine she uses is her sewing machine. Cool.

The current collection is necklace-heavy, but also includes some funky body chains and a headpiece. The common theme is all the creations combine luxury and playfulness. My favorite is this Tangelo Necklace ($376). It's exotic, and looks like three necklaces in one.

True Blood Stainless Steel Multichain Arm Band With Rubies: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I chose to feature this True Blood Stainless Steel Multi-Chain Arm Band With Rubies ($400) from HBO's True Blood jewelry line because it's stainless steel. Really, I am shocked they would produce a vamp-inspired jewelry collection containing silver pieces. Have we learned nothing about the sexy monsters? The collection, designed by Udi Behr, is gothic glam; silver and stainless-steel items with chain detail, ruby blood drops, each with a patented fang-like clasp. You know I am a True Blood junkie, but I wouldn't go this far, would you?

Glitterati: Iosselliani

FabSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 03:00:22 -0700

It doesn't matter how many times I see Iosselliani jewels, they never cease to leave me breathless. Can you blame me? They're nothing short of marvelous. Right now I'm dying to own one of its stacked rings. A little background on the Italian brand: It was started in Rome in '97 by Roberta Paolucci and Paolo Giacomelli. Both designers are strongly influenced by classic Italian jewelry, and use classic ornaments and modern symbols to create contemporary jewelry. Feathers, rhinestones, skulls, and chains are just some of the ways Iosselliani delivers rough-cum-glamorous pieces, ranging from $175 to $735.
