Every day, we all make a statement. What do you want your statement to be? Each morning as we get dressed for the day, often unknowingly, we create a statement to the outside world about who we are and the way we wish others to view us. This statement is created through our style choices. Do we want to be perceived as flashy or elegant, bold or wallflower, fashionable or dowdy?
Often when I help celebrities this question comes up. I often ask them about the statement they wish to make. Granted, in the awards show world of borrowed jewelry and borrowed gowns making a statement can sometimes be much simpler. Large scale, statement-making pieces are simply borrowed for the night and then returned the following day.
In the real world, however, making a statement is something to be considered closely. We don’t all walk a red carpet, and pieces can be costly. Therefore, we need to make sure to get plenty of wear from the pieces we purchase.
Welcome to the world of stacking and layering! The beauty of jewelry that can be layered or stacked is that items can be worn separately, or in small stacks. They can be stacked together for a large look or they can be mixed and matched with other pieces in your wardrobe to create a variety of bold individual looks. If you like this concept as much as I do, you’ll love some of the Affinity pieces that will be coming your way on March 1 during the Silver Bonanza.
For your hands, you’ll be treated to an amazing set of stack rings. J263083 will offer incredible value in a set of 5 rings that can each be worn separately, combined or worn together, or added to ring stacks that you already have. The set features natural diamonds in shades of yellow and blue with a total weight of 1/3 ct. When stacked together you’ll get a bold ½ inch stack! However, if you’re someone who wants their statement to be even bigger and bolder, go ahead and add this selection together with other rings in your wardrobe.
For your wrists, we will be featuring a set of bangles that will definitely give a red carpet look. J266874 are what I like to call your “Weekend Bangle” collection. Why? Well if you remember and loved our popular “Monday through Friday” bangles, this 3-bangle set will carry you through the weekend with one bangle to spare (or maybe that’s a long weekend). The set features textured designs with a total weight of 1/3 ct. of pave set white and black diamonds in multi-shaped stations.
Of course, if you really love one major statement-making piece, you’ll still be in luck! J265404 will give you a total weight of ½ carat in a sterling flower ring – perfect for spring. The petals are pave set with diamonds in all of springs hottest colors – White, yellow and blue!
No matter what your style, jewelry that can be layered and stacked can take you everywhere from a fashion standpoint. So the question remains, what do you want your statement to be? The choice can be yours.
