Elyssa B Design

Perfect summer accessories at Elyssa B Design. I am cheap jewelry junky but these fun pieces are totally worth the extra cost. Prices range from $50- $1,800 and are made using high end stones like Garnets and Tourmalines that will be sure to last me years compared to my one season knock-offs. Even better?

Etsy Find-Silhouette Sweetheart Necklace

I totally fell for these custom Sweetheart necklaces by etsy artist, luckymebeads. You can send in a photograph of your sweetie and she will make it into a silhouette and place it inside a ring that is filled with resin for save keeping. So pretty! She also makes various other necklaces made from found paper objects. I love their vintage quality and charm. Prices range from $20-$48. To view more: etsy.com.

Forever 21-Best Necklaces!

People always ask me where I get my jewelry. My secret source is: Forever 21. If you live in NY: I totally love the store in Union Square. But don't go here after work. The place will be mobbed with teen queens and NYU students. You have to hit the store early in the day otherwise be prepared to wait in a long line to check out.

Check out all the great necklaces above and below! Everything on this page is under $10 and all available on forever21.com. Let's be honest with ourselves these pieces are not heirlooms, they are cheap ass knock-offs. But totally crush-worthy and a realistic buy for those on a budget. Check out more: forever21.com.

Hannah Clark

Prong Ring, $940, thisisauto.com.

I have been thinking about Hannah Clark's, Prong Ring, for a couple days. Maybe it's an engagement ring possibility? I have been moving away from the multiple colored stones and toward a single stone in an amazing color. Hannah does do custom work so maybe this is an option? I have to go to store and check out some more. But first, let's take a peek at some of her other stunning pieces. I am drawn to the delicate organic shapes that feel a bit Victorian. Some of Hannah's pieces are available at thisisauto.com or view Hannah's own site here.

Ouroborus, $500, thisisauto.com.

Silver rose bud, $160, thisisauto.com.

Suzanne Felsen

For those of you who know me well know: I can be pretty picky. I can "like" a lot of things but I probably won't love it for myself . Case in point: engagment rings. I want to pick out my own ring but I just can't decide. So I share with you some of my favorite designers that I have discovered on my search for the perfect "one".

I really do love Suzanne Felsen's rings. I've never really wanted to wear a diamond. I just don't care for them they way other girls do. My eyes light up when I see a beautiful colored stones. But with color comes a the decision of what color do I want to wear for the rest of my life? My boyfriend calls these the "clown rings". Jerk.

All the rings above and below are gorgeous. The are pretty big rings which kinda scares me for everyday. They are total cocktail rings. I've thought about using her rings as inspiration and having it scaled down to fit an everyday style. Check out Suzanne Felsen's site here.

J.Crew Goes Festive Vintage

J.Crew has totally stepped it up a notch in the accessory department. Honestly, I never took a second look at their accessories they always felt like an after thought. This season is filled with bright babbles infused with a little classic glam girl. I have been wearing the stripe bangle layered with a yellow bangle for months. The blue beads have been a total hit. Looks great paired with a contrasting color like red or orange. Seriously, snag these up, you will be wearing them for years.

From top left: Cabochon bauble bracelet, $80 . Hand-painted enamel carousel ring, $75. 1/2" harlequin-stripe enamel bangle, $40. Bauble cascade necklace, $135.
