Jewelmint Picks: November 2011

November is coming to an end and this month's Jewelmint picks are definitely long overdue.  Anyhow, I decided to share my favorites for this month anyways and at time of post, these pieces are still available.

The Emerald City Rings caught my eye immediately.  I love the ring design and color combo of these rings.  The rich emerald green crystals on the 14K gold-plated bands are gorgeous!  Unfortunately these rings only go up to a size 8 which is too small for my fingers so it looks like I'll be wearing these on a chain when I get them.  Wouldn't it be awesome if Jewelmint had these offered with chains too?

Jewelmint Picks: October 2011

I know I'm pretty late this time around for my Jewelmint picks but these items are still available for those interested. *smiles*

This being Breast Cancer Awareness month, I think I'll start with a piece that isn't necessarily my fave of the bunch but is channeled to a cause that is very dear to me.

Desert Rose Necklace

I don't think that this piece is something I would gravitate towards personally but I'll admit it is interesting.  15% of the retail price of this lariat-style 36" silver-plated necklace, I believe for this month, will be donated to the Cedars-Sinai Women's Cancer Program.

Jewelmint Picks: September 2011

September is here and so are the latest pieces from Jewelmint.  Here are some pieces that I like this month and I'm happy that the site has begun to figure out my sense of style and recommend pieces that actually appeal to me.

From the looks of it, this month most of the new pieces are inspired by vintage jewelries of the 1920s era.  Interesting pieces of vintage designs with a modern twist.

Savoy Bracelet

The Savoy Bracelet just happened to be my September Top Match and I love it!  It's elegant and bold but still not too overpowering.  I can see it worn casually and as a statement piece for a function.  Either way, it's beautiful!

Pomander Pendant

The Pomander Pendant is a very interesting piece and I love the concept of it.  The pendant is half perforated (top) and half solid (bottom) and held close by a magnetic clasp.  The idea behind it is to place a small scented ball of cotton and the fragrance will make it's way through the tiny holes in the top dome.  Genius!!

Gatsby Bracelet

My last fave piece is this bracelet.  Doesn't it just look like diamonds?  The pattern is quite unique and a girl loves her bling.  I love how it's simple yet dressy at the same time.  As much as I love gold tone jewelry, every now and then, I like to have some silver tone ones on hand too.

Jewelmint Picks: August 2011

August is here and Jewelmint has already come out with brand new pieces for their showroom.  Selected pieces from previous months' collection are still available for purchase on the site but here are some of the new pieces that I caught my attention:

Here To Eternity Set

I felt this was a beautiful elegant set.  It's rare to find jewelry integrating both yellow and rose gold in one piece.  The earrings are cute and demure all in one, and perfect everyday studs.  The multistrand necklace looks delicate and romantic with a knot, the word "Love" and a horizontal bar filled with crystals on each strand respectively.  This piece was one of the pieces included in my August showroom.  Jewelmint is slowly beginning to capture my style.

Krishna Diamong Earrings

I could be wrong but I think this has appeared in previous months before but aren't they just a beauty?  These stud earrings are double layered and is such a classy piece to be worn for formal events and functions but yet is still wearable enough for regular days to glam up a more relaxed T-shirt and jeans outfit.

New Wave Ring

I've seen similar armadillo type rings before and gives an edge to any outfit.  YouTube gurus such as Jessica Harlow and Michelle Phan have often worn rings that look like this in many videos and photos.  I'm not sure where they bought their rings but I know Karmaloop has a few to choose from:

There's been a lot of hype online about Jewelmint and I have to admit there are some beautiful unique pieces on the website. For a subscription/membership fee of US$29.99 a month, you get to choose your favorite piece(s) to be shipped to you.  Each additional piece costs US$29.99 (first piece is included in the subscription/membership fee) and were created/designed by actress Kate Bosworth and stylist Cher Coulter.

Since at the moment the website only ships to the US, I haven't been able to get my hands on the actual jewelry as much as I would definitely love to.  Anyways, I thought why not just share with all of you my top picks of the month (pieces I'd love to buy and not necessarily those suggested to me that month) had I been able to purchase them.

Forever Yours Bracelet

I think that is a beautiful demure piece with a nice combination of silver-, gold- and rose gold-plated finishes and a couple of plates that are perfect for engraving your name and special messages on.
