Everything's Coming Up Rose Gold

Sorry if I just planted the sound of Ethel Merman's voice in your head indefinitely, I just think of that song for some reason everytime I hear rose gold! It really does feel like rose gold is popping up everywhere this season. I've been craving rose gold jewelry ever since Chloe + Isabel released the Jen Atkin hair accessory collection.

Finally, not only has it arrived in catalog and in my boutique, I now have it in my possession! I have so many new goodies to show you in a variety of metals, just in time for holiday shopping.

First thing to hit my shopping cart was this gorgeous Petits Bijoux Hexagon Pendant Necklace. It's so delicate and lightweight. If you are shopping for a friend, sister or secret Santa for stocking stuffers or an easy to travel with gift, this one is just perfect. I feel like rose gold is a good choice for someone who always wears silver, or always wears gold. It's neither here nor there, something to add variety and modernize their wardrobe without pushing them too far out of their comfort zone.

 

 The matching earrings are nothing short of amazing, too. I completely forgot they were convertible until I saw a friend wearing them without the hexagon "jacket", for lack of a better term. Convertible earrings are one of my favorite conversation starters when I'm talking about my small business. You can wear the earrings 2 ways, more bang for your buck.

I picked another pair of convertibles from the new collection, the La Vie en Rose Convertible Ear Climbers. The silver version of these is constantly on back order (a rarity) due to overwhelming demand. This would make a great gift for the modern maven in your life, a stylish friend who's always on point.

The "Isabel" in me (classic, timeless style) couldn't resist this next elegant piece. And truly, my ring collection was lacking. The Petits Bijoux Stackable Rings were an obvious choice. They had me at "vintage inspired setting". And the rose gold, when it captures the light, is so stunning.

I've taken a few pictures here of the rose gold next to the shiny gold for comparison. These are also available in shiny rhodium (silver).

I've jealously been watching the other merchies with all 3 sets mixing and matching them altogether. What do you think? Who needs silver, right?

I can't stay jealous long, I have so many other pretty things to wear. I'm particularly excited about my Petit Bijoux Leaf Pendant Necklace. It's 12k gold plated, dainty and going to get a lot of wear.

I'm all about transparency. Honestly I picked the leaf necklace to have on hand to show brides looking for fall wedding gifts and accessories. I pictured it on flower girls or mother of the bride, or hanging on "Will You Be My Bridesmaid" greeting cards (we have gorgeous, downloadable templates). But when I put it on to take pictures, I forgot to take it off and it caught my eye walking by a mirror. There's something just perfect about it. It's so easy to wear and versatile. It's official, I'm sold!

Of course, I got the matching earrings to go with it. If you are looking for a new pair of gold studs for the change of seasons, you need these delicate leaf earrings.

Last, I received the Petits Bijoux Daisy Stud Earrings and La Vie en Rose Collar Necklace as merchandiser incentives for July.

All the ladies are styling their daisy studs with the leaf earrings, and again this is another piece I can see modern brides loving for their special day. This collection is the perfect accompaniment to rose quartz (blush), the pantone color of the year for 2016.

I truly saved the best for last this time around!

The collar necklace, be still my heart! It's so sparkly and elegant! I just had a brilliant thought, I want to try it with a bold, red, fit and flare dress I acquired from my growing-too-fast daughter. I have some many pretty fall sweaters and tops in mind, too. 

I love this necklace so much, I ordered the matching bracelet to complete the look.

  

I love how the light hits it. I know what I'm wearing Sunday! I'll smell yummy, too, wearing my new C+I parfum (Jardins du Midi).

My friends are really going to think they are looking at everything through rose colored glasses!

Chloe + Isabel Semi-annual Sale Suggestions Summer 2016

In case you haven't heard, Chloe + Isabel is having their Semi-annual sale! 20% of the shop is marked down to 40-65% off, with items from just about every category. Now is the time to shop for items on your wishlist, birthday and Christmas presents for friends and family, and new styles you've been thinking about trying.

Here are a few suggestions. Grab them before their gone!
Shop here: http://modernjewelry.co

First, I wear this piece often. It's the Geovista Convertible Pendant Necklace. I love that I can wear the 2 layers separately, together, or layer them with my longer pieces. The semi-precious stone is gorgeous, and the antique gold plate finish is easy to wear with casual tees, tanks and dresses.

I'm wearing it with my lunette long station necklace, which seems to go with everything! The Geovista earrings, cuff bracelet set, statement bracelet and stackable rings that match are all on sale, too.

There are also several exclusive pieces on sale, new and never before seen styles from our secret c+i jewelry box, or the candi vault, as we call it.

The crystal flower stud earrings are just perfect heading into fall, don't you think?

Pair them with this burgundy leather + baguette bracelet in berry, a never before released color!

This gorgeous combination is also available for the first time ever. The top one, the Midnight Palace Octagon Collar Necklace was a merchandiser exclusive, now available to all! 

It's shown with the Midnight Palace Statement Collar Necklace, which is also on sale at a steal. 

Which brings me to my next suggestion, try out something new! We all love our convertible necklaces, and gravitate towards delicate styles. But the statement pieces are going to take your look to the next level and get you a ton of compliments.

I've had my eye on this one for while. I can't believe the mark down! It's called the Dolce Statement Necklace. I love the vintage vibe.

Don't forget the matching earrings and statement bracelet. Get the whole look for just $129!

I love the Glacial Edge Bib Necklace, too. A versatile piece that really packs a punch.

The Aventine Convertible Statement Necklace is another great choice, one you can easily dress up or down. It's a little bit edgy with just enough classic, and the color combination is easy to style.

It's also a great time to add a few rings to your collection. Every single style shown here is marked down, 40-65% off!

From top to bottom, left to right: the malachite + pave ring, the medine turquoise ring, the portico nesting rings, the glacial edge statement ring, the alpenglow statement ring, the palm royale north south ring, the jardins du trocadero statement ring, and the retro pave cocktail ring, which also comes in coral.

All in all, 91 pieces are on sale, now through Monday, July 31st at 11:59pm EST, while supplies last! Ready, set, go!

The Chloe + Isabel Summer Collection

With the summer solstice upon us (I feel like it's already here!) I scoured the Chloe + Isabel Amalfi Coast Lookbook for pieces that are summer ready. I recently received the Limencello Statement Necklace Set (photos of #1 wearing that one on my Facebook page) with gorgeous faceted yellow, turquoise and howlite stones so I was looking for everyday jewelry, convertible pieces I could mix and match and wear with my favorite tees and boho prints. I can't wait to show you what I picked out, recommend a few must-haves for summer 2016, and show you my Chloe + Isabel display along the way.

First up is the Capri Three-Row Convertible Necklace, which I just had to have when one of my VIP customers shared these pictures of herself wearing the necklace with shorts from Stitch Fix and a top from Tag. Isn't she adorable?

Here are a few close ups I took after my last pop-up party. I'm going to wear this baby tomorrow!

   

I love Chloe + Isabel convertible necklaces. I've always wanted to rock that layered look, but had trouble matching. These are ready to wear as is, but can also be separated to coordinate with other necklaces or worn on their own.

I can't wait to try them individually with the Capri Convertible Pendant Necklace below. This one has a slide adjustment on the back so you can wear it like a bib, long, or anywhere in between.

I wore it the day it arrived as it worked perfectly with the crew neck I was wearing, and paired it with the Lunette Long Station Necklace (see this look on my Facebook page).

I caved in and ordered the Wide-Brimmed Summer Straw Hat after realizing it looks good on everyone. I was too lazy to take out the tripod, and selfies with a DSLR aren't easy; be kind.

We carry several other non-jewelry summer essentials, be sure and check them out!

That there is the Morningtide Convertible Collar Necklace from my starter kit, which is becoming my signature piece. The v-neck is the Sleeveless Linen V-Neck Tee from Loft in Forever Navy.

For those ponytail kind of days, you know the ones (today), I ordered the Jen Atkin X Chloe + Isabel rose gold Ponytail Clip, part of our latest collection of hair accessories.

I love the packaging on the new hair accessories. This one came in a pretty box and the other a magnetic closure pouch, perfect for gifting.

For fancier summer hair days like summer weddings or graduations I chose the Small Crystal Pave Fan Pin Set

I guess you can say I got a little hair obsessed. I threw in the Crystal Baguette Hair Comb to match my Mirabelle Petite Collar Necklace and drop earrings, commonly worn as bridal jewelry pieces but I wear them to church.

The jury isn't officially out on whether I'm a Chloe or an Isabel, but this next choice is a little bit of both. The Bianca Teardrop Ring has that elegant, vintage feel with a touch of modern maven with the chalcedony stone.

I wasn't sure which size to buy so I ordered an inexpensive ring sizer on Amazon which worked out well. You can buy yourself one here.

I prefer this type over the various rings on a loop because I'm always worried my fingers will get stuck in those! It also takes up very little space in my storage case.

I placed it near my ring holder at my last pop-up party and I think every single guest measured their fingers. It's pretty handy! 

I bought this little ring dish at Hobby Lobby right before I signed up to become a merchandiser and I absolutely love it!

Here it is with the Lunette Open Band Ring, which I've worn everyday since I got it. You need this ring for summer; it's lightweight and you won't even notice you're wearing it (with exception of the constant compliments). If you're on the fence about ring sizes, the "open" styles like this are all adjustable.

I may have to start changing my clothes a few times a day, I desperately want to wear this next one. I love the cut of the amethyst stone on the Geovista Convertible Pendant Necklace. 

I saved the best for last, one of our most popular styles for summer. The aquamarina collection has so many great pieces, I may get a bracelet to coordinate with this Convertible Pendant Necklace.

I got this cute little mirror for my display at the Daiso store.

Here's a close up of the top layer, so pretty!

I couldn't get a great picture of my whole display (which I'm constantly rearranging), but here's the condensed version.
