Personalize your Cuffs with Jessica’s Help


Jessica Kagan Cushman

I remember seeing lots of cuffs with lots of fun words engraved & was thinking what if I want to put my name on it or engrave a love message for my boyfriend. I guess Jessica Cushman thought the same thing since she now has a custom service which provides you with ability to choose anything you want to be written on the cuffs. They are made out of black and white plastic material. I think it is pretty cool and worth mentioning that you can only write upto 25 characters for an extra $35. I think the price is reasonable but the cuffs are pricey $130. Cuffs would be a perfect gift for an anniversary or birthday. Or spoil yourself on that day when you are feeling down and in need of something excitement. I would write up something like "LOVE FASHION AND POETRY" by KatyaUK. This is just one of the phrases to through out there!

Slater Mixed Necklace by Fallon

In the passed couple of seasons I have noticed that there are more and more jewelry pieces which inspired by the ancient historical figures and their wardrobes. Most are made from oversized metal fixtures, chains, netting, and colorful gemstones. They either were inspired by heavy weight armory suits or medieval & celtic jewelry pieces. The ones that I admire the most would be called a "Gladiator Inspired Jewelry". One of my picks is Slater Mixed Necklace by Fallon. It is currently on sale for $120.00 on Charm and Chain.


Along the line with so called “summer gladiator” flip flops trend, we have been exposed to styles of jewelry which showed us how to wear many different necklaces together. You are now able to mix & match a couple of them together. There is a possibility of collaboration even if they are made of different metals and stones, just like it showed in the picture with three beautiful actresses or the runway models. Taking risks, again, is the way to go. You can embellish your outfit with more than just necklace, unique brochette or hair clip can be great additions to your look.

Philippe Tournaire’s House Rings

I adore these Signature House/Castle shaped rings. I think all of them are amusing to look at and at the same time, they stand out from all other jewelry pieces that I have seen. If you are in the mood for wearing a little palace or a mansion on your finger, this is where you need to go - Philippe Tournaire.

Rings are arranged in different shapes, have diamonds and other precious stones incorporated either as a little round tower or square shaped pool. If you try to look at them closer on the website, you will see windows, stairs, and even actual rooms from inside out. How about a little part of a city with streets and buildings? These are so much fun, check them out on the website. They are a bit pricey but I guess idea really counts.

Time for New Trend of the Stones

The new trend in jewelry is having large precious stones incorporated into a bracelet, necklace or even a ring. I think the more color - the better. That way wearing black will never look boring if you add any of the Jami Rodriguez pieces. This designer has landed its name in many fashion magazines like Elle, Bazaar, Cosmo and Marie Claire. Even Samantha Jones from "Sex and the City" has gotten her jewels from Jami Rodriguez. The wrap bracelet has earned its popularity as well having bright pink string connecting gold pedants being connected with the chain.

Slater Mixed for Gladiator’s Taste

Some of the great finds of the seasons have been drawn upon designer Dana Lorenz who has created her own line of jewelry and luxury accessories called FALLON . I must say she has some of the unique pieces which have caught my eye before on the pages of Charm & Chain. Her creations are "bold fashion statements that always seem flow in the direction of the runways". Dana's background is in petry as well as art with drawbacks to her education from School of the Art Institute of Chicago and University of Iowa.


My favorite ones are in the above pictures which made of "glass and vintage Lucite cabochons, pyramid studs, and bright stones adorn these brass, rose gold, sterling, and gunmetal trinkets, sometimes complimented by chunky chains and even fabric to complete the look". I could not have summarized it better due to their complicated design and materials used. Please prefer below for her other jewelry pieces with an unique story to tell in each piece. That’s why her pricey tag comes out to $200.00 per necklace. So worth it though!

Please enjoy shopping and keep us posted on your purchases.

When I first noticed this necklace on the pages of several Fashion websites, I thought it was some kind of unique vintage necklace which is not available for sale but a collectable item. I could not stop staring at this piece in the zoom in view and admire the work of art. Necklace is a collection of silver coins, Swarovski crystals & knitted green round medallions.

I come to find out that it was designed by Erickson Beamon for the collection of Turkish Delight. He introduces necklaces and earrings which are beautifully made from Turkish detailed coins & bright color jewels. This jewelry piece can be a compliment to any light color simple cocktail dress which will win any red carpet event or a black tie party. I would wear it to my B-day dinner without a doubt.

Beaded Necklaces by Fiona Paxton

Browsing Soho this weekend after lunch at Bagatelle, my girlies & I went into Scoop in Meatpacking to look at the new stuff for Fall. As soon as we entered, we noticed several unique embroidered necklaces with gold/silver bands and chains in the glass case. Believe it or not, I thought these were belts.

Later I find out they are Fiona Paxton's designs, Londoner who has worked for Moschino & Chloe as a textile designer. Paxton introduced her creations to the fashion world this year as a self stand jewelry designer. Designing for couture world for the past 10 years must have taught her a lot of patience, concentration on detail and experience to produce incredible hand crafted designs.

I was thinking to myself, these necklaces would be great with a white tank top, black ballerina skirt and black Louboutins for the night in the city! Fiona Paxton Necklaces priced at $200s-$300s because of its hand crafting embroidery work, unique prints & loads of precious metals used.
