Fab Exclusive! The Skinny on Elizabeth and James Fine Jewelry

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:02:10 PDT

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's clothing line, Elizabeth and James, branched into fine jewelry beginning in Fall '09. Now, the sisterly duo has released its Spring fine jewelry line, which consists of two categories: the bar, a continuation of Fall '09's feather design, and the art deco-inspired crest category. Materials such as solid sterling silver, oxidized silver, 14k gold accents, pave diamond accents, and sapphires are used. Retail prices range from $55 to $1,200, the average price being around $200. The sisters are continuing their partnership with Robert Lee Morris - he is their primary jewelry mentor - but since they have taken a more active role in designing, Robert's name has been removed from the brand.
You can buy the new collection at neimanmarcus.com (not Neiman Marcus stores), saks.com, Shopbop, Bloomingdale's, and bloomingdales.com.

Besides hosting Halloween, October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It affects millions of women in the world - including these courageous celebrities.

I'm smitten with the simplistic design and the rose gold leaf is beautiful. What a fashionable way to show your support to breast cancer.

The Look For Less: Robert Lee Morris For Elizabeth and James Knuckle Ring

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:00:22 PDT

Show of hands: how many of you really badly wanted this funky Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James Knuckle Ring ($195) but forced yourself to forget it due to the steep price? If you raised, then this is your lucky day, because there is an almost identical version of the ring for less than half the price. Sorry to do this to your business, MK and Ashley!

To see the look for less,

This TrendToGo Sterling Silver Knuckle Ring ($46-54) is slightly brighter and shinier than the Robert Lee Morris version, but it's also way more affordable. Its identical shape will likely make a passerby think you're wearing the real thing. Just get it quick before available sizes, six through 10, sell out.

On Our Radar: Donna Karan Delves Into Denim

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 03:00:22 PST

Donna Karan is launching an upscale denim line with an extra special twist. See, what makes Donna's collection stand out from others is that her jeans are cut on the bias, see left. Confused? I'll let Donna Karan explain it to you: "I love the fluidity and sensuality of the way a bias-cut fabric drapes and molds the body. When you cut denim on the bias the result is the ultimate in fit and comfortability. There's no side seam, so your legs look long and lean. These jeans are designed to move with you wherever your life takes you." To add icing on the cake, Karan enlisted jewelry extraordinaire Robert Lee Morris to design her denim buttons. The line debuts in late February and will be available at major retailers.

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:00:22 PDT

This Halloween, I want to wow everyone at my friend's costume party with a real dazzler. I had you all help me decide on a costume. It would be a tragedy if someone showed up in the same getup, so I asked you to get creative with your ideas. And what a grand job you all did; I wish I could have showcased them all.

I started you off on a clean slate with this Robert Lee Morris "Andy Warhol" Skull Bracelet ($495). Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, created by jasmint, is pure genius. John Galliano for Halloween? Hell yes.

To see the rest,

Look #2, created by lizzylu49, is perfect for reality TV fans. Rachel Zoe is bananas.

Look #3, created by CupcakeGal10, is great for an adventurous gal. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Fab Flash: More, More, More About Mary-Kate and Ashley's Elizabeth and James Jewelry

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:00:22 PDT

Start saving money - Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's jewelry line is due to hit stores in September. The Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James collection will consist of over 80 gold and silver pieces. Staying true to their unique style (see Mary-Kate's little bedecked hands below), look forward to seeing abstract earrings, necklaces, metal cuffs, and rings embellished with crosses and daggers along with beading.

Commenting on the collaborative collection, Ashley states, "We liked the idea of having playful elements along with timeless and ageless pieces. The symbols are attachable and you can take the jewelry and make it your own. There are solid silver and gold pieces to wear forever and comfort pieces that you'll put on and wear everywhere."

The pieces will retail from $65 to $700, and be sold at Intermix stores nationwide, Holt Renfrew, Lane Crawford, and On Pedder. The dynamic duo have also hinted to an upcoming shoe and bag collection. The suspense is killing me.

To get a closer look at some of the pieces,

On Our Radar: Mary-Kate and Ashley Jewelry in the Works

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 04:00:22 PDT

First clothing lines The Row and Elizabeth and James and now a jewelry collection? The fashion gods must be listening! Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have teamed up with CFDA award-winning jewelry designer and sculptor Robert Lee Morris to create bling for the masses under a line dubbed Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James. Well, the price point of the line will determine how much mass appeal it will have, but I can't wait to see the pieces. The trio has been hard at work for a few months, digging into archives in Morris' headquarters in downtown Manhattan. So what can we expect from the petite sisters? Why, nothing short of silver and brass dagger necklaces, knuckle rings, and cool earrings. Bring. It. On!
