Eva Longoria Parker’s Signature Jewelry Style
by admin on Apr.18, 2010, under Jewelry
Eva Longoria Parker may come in a pint-size package, but her style packs a lot of punch. Always polished and dressed to the T, Mrs. Tony Parker has a jewelry style that is reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour meets modern elegance. She knows what works on her tiny frame and what accessories best help her shine.
Eva loves drop earrings. From star shaped danglers to turquoise cascades to diamond teardrops, she likes earrings that have movement and a little swing to them. She’s not afraid of color either, as she easily accents gorgeous gowns with fresh colored jewels in sparkling hues. A few of our favorites include ruby drop earrings used to accent a hot pink frock for a charity gala or a canary colored pair of drop earrings she wore with a spring floral dress. For her wedding abroad, Eva pulled out rich colored stones, best of all, the sapphire stunners she wore with matching cascade necklaces for her wedding and the emerald oval cut drop earrings she playfully paired with a headband and casual do.
No matter what Ms. Parker wears, she does it with ease and effortless grace. She can easily pull off art deco inspired pieces, such as glittering cuffs and bangles. Or, when she’s feeling a bit sassy, she likes pieces that are fun and youthful, such as waterfall earrings. Her favorite accessory is a number 9 pendant that she wears as a reminder of her husband Tony’s jersey. You can easily replicate this sentiment by choosing a charm or bracelet with removable charms.
Eva steers clear of ‘here today – gone tomorrow’ jewelry trends and instead opts for stylish statements that are timeless. She just might be the next style icon in the making. We love watching her rule the red carpet and can’t wait to see what jewelry she chooses next.

Wear Jewelry Like Eva Longoria – How to Guide
by admin on Mar.23, 2010, under Jewelry
Okay, so we’ll admit that Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria is beautiful no matter what jewelry she wears – in fact she could probably hang a pair of old sneakers around her neck and still look great – but we believe that’s because she knows how to make those tennis treads look their best, and not the other way around. The following four tips will help you make the most of your jewelry too.
Have you ever seen Eva unclip a gorgeous updo mid-red carpet? Or sweep her locks into a ponytail halfway through a Spurs game? Neither have we. Nor do we expect to anytime soon, due to a fact that the rest of us fidgety, hairband-toting ladies seem to have forgotten: If you choose a hairstyle before you leave the house, not only will your hair-free hands display confidence and allow you to hold your cocktail (and his), you will have had the advantage of choosing jewelry for that hairstyle in front of a mirror. While we’re at it, we’re going to suggest that when your hair is down, feel free to wear something a bit shinier and showier, so that it is not lost underneath the tresses. On the other hand, err on the subtler side when your ears and neckline are exposed. Too much bling will take away from the real gem (you).
2. Big Should Be Beautiful
Eva’s defined cheekbones and oval face combine to create negative space along her chinbone where big hoops and long dangles hang. In this case, bigger earrings give length to her face (where smaller ones have the opposite effect), but there is a risk in that any bigger piece of jewelry draws a lot of attention. So we suggest that, much like our favorite actress, you don’t just throw any old pair of earrings in before you leave the house. The earrings Eva chooses are always confident, graceful and of earthy stones like chalcedony and citrine…qualities that many would also attribute to Eva herself. This combination of accessories complements, not overwhelms, the face it hangs from.
3. Simple Should Be Striking
Recently, Eva was photographed with a large Green Quartz and layered gold pendant necklace. Pendant necklaces offer an opportunity for personalization that other designs don’t because gemstones come in all sizes, shapes and colors. So if green makes your skin look wan, choose amethyst or topaz instead. If you prefer a stand alone gold chain, go for it. The point is not to copy Eva exactly, but to embrace the elements that make her jewelry work – the beauty of a single, visible stone, enhanced but not outdone by a delicate chain, will only be upstaged by your own radiant face.
4. Personalize the Engagement Ring
Honestly, we doubt that many of our readers are about to receive a ring made of 148 diamonds, or for that matter, marry an NBA star. But we do think you should feel like a celebrity during your engagement, and Eva has shown us that the trick is to make the ring as personal as Tony did. Eva’s darker skin tone cries out for diamonds, so it makes sense that her ring would carry so many. Another option is to select a whiter metal, like sterling silver or platinum, for a band that will stand out on her finger. If your skin is already pale enough, flank the diamond with a couple of small, colorful gemstones and a gold band. This will make the diamond pop, no matter its size.
In true Hollywood style, Tony went overboard by engraving a message (in his own handwriting!) inside the shank of the ring. We like a comparable, but less pricey italicized inscription on the inside of the band. Think of it as a private message that your finger can read day after day.

Carrie Underwood’s Jewelry Style
by admin on Nov.23, 2009, under Jewelry
Southern belle Carrie Underwood not only hits the high notes on stage, she also has a signature style that is simply fabulous. We love Carrie’s choice of elegant evening gowns, dressy shorts and mini-dresses. We also can’t get enough of the sparkly stunners she wears on the red carpet.
Carrie’s look is all glam, perfectly polished and undeniably elegant. She dresses for her age, but she’s not afraid to pile on glittery gems and jewelry that turns heads. She’s best known for rocking beautiful baubles in the form of drop earrings, which are her “go to” accessory of choice. She’s famous for choosing dangly earrings in the shape of teardrops and chandeliers. These earrings compliment a romantic up-do and a floor length gown. Gold and silver earrings both look great on her, and once in a while, she’ll opt for a colored gemstone setting as well.
Although Carrie isn’t one to hop on the trend bandwagon, she keeps her jewelry style up to date with fun pieces that are relevant and modern. While performing, she’s been seen rocking a long jumbo size beaded necklace or a statement pendant. When out running errands, Carrie still keep her style in check by adding chunky charm bracelets and disc shaped pendants to simple jeans and t-shirt looks. No matter what she wears, Carrie Underwood always looks great.

Accessorize Like Eva Longoria, Courtside
by admin on Oct.22, 2009, under Jewelry
Professional athletes ask their devoted celebrity wives to attend a wide range of events, from morning press conferences to midday games and evening championship celebrations. Eva Longoria – despite all odds – always manages to look glamorous, sexy and still appropriate for every occasion. How does she do it? Jewelry.
Eva Longoria
Married to: Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs
Eva embraces earthy tones that complement her olive skin tone and brunette locks. Her jewelry is full of jade, citrine, chalcedony and diamond stones. These glistening, green, yellow and clear gems are appropriate at any occasion and can be piled on in petite gemstone clusters or worn as large, stand-alone pendants. Eva was recently seen wearing a multi-layer gold chain necklace with a large green quartz gemstone. As a single focus piece, the necklace was a tribute to her signature style and a gorgeous accessory all in one.
Jewelry is the secret weapon of every female celebrity, whether she’s strolling the red carpet or stepping out to the corner store for another box of ginger tea. Eva consistently dons fun dangly earrings, rich with gemstones and strong metals that add a particularly personal touch to her outfit. Chandelier earrings compliment her oval-shaped face and strong chin line when her hair is up, while shorter dangles bring attention to her eyes when her hair is down.
Take a look at your own shape and hairstyle and figure out what works best for you – long faces tend to benefit from linear cascade earring designs; Round faces look best with short, drop or cluster earrings. Heart shape faces allow longer, bigger hoops and chandeliers to fill in the space below the chin. Over time, every woman’s individual accessory style becomes part of her signature look, so it’s important to figure out what works and stick with it. Look for customizable jewelry shops like this one, where you can choose the length of your earrings.
Unlike clothing, the most beautiful jewelry is timeless, so it can be worn again and again, with almost any outfit. However, just like clothing, jewelry colors must be tailored to the individual wearer to complement her natural features best. When choosing earrings, look for gemstone colors that match or are slightly darker than your eyes. This will enhance your natural sparkle and draw more attention to those baby blues (or browns, or greens…). With necklaces, be sure to keep in mind how strong your tan is – a blue necklace balances out pink or blotchy skin. Green gemstones look great on slightly olive tones. Pink or red tones warm up pale skin and black is a universal color that looks good on everyone. To get a better idea of gemstone colors click here.
While you consider Eva’s look, keep in mind that accessories are your opportunity to make your ensemble specifically yours and to develop your very own personal style. Add flare to an every day outfit, a wedding day ensemble or weekend night glam with jewelry that is perfectly and precisely you – your colors, your favorite metal, your shape and size. That way, there will always be a little glimpse of your true self in the office, at the altar or on the dance floor.

Vintage Jewelry Makes a Comeback – A Fashion “Do”!
by admin on Jun.10, 2009, under Jewelry
Remember rifling through your grandmother’s vintage jewelry box when you were a little girl? Trying on those strands of pearls and vintage costume jewelry and dreaming of one day being old enough to wear them?
Vintage jewelry has long had a place on the red carpet of Hollywood (donned by the likes of Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett), but it’s also just as acceptable to wear it for a night out on the town or to accent a professional look. Vintage has an old world glamour to it, an essence of classiness and a throwback to a time when dresses and pantyhose were a must. Now, mixing vintage necklaces or earrings with modern pieces provides an updated and relevant look, popularized even more with style-setters like Michelle Obama.
If you are lucky enough to have inherited, or be a collector of this type of costume jewelry, then you should know that authentic vintage jewelry sets are the most valuable of the group, given they are in good condition and contain all stones. If you love the look, but don’t have access to hand-me-down pieces, there are several options. Many current designers offer this style of jewelry for a very affordable price. Another good bet is to check out the local flea market for deals on one-of-a-kind finds.
Vintage pieces can really dress up an existing look and can act as a good conversation piece. Your jewelry can help you to create a one-of-kind outfit that is sure to garner compliments. The look of antique inspired jewelry is best characterized by brushed metal, giving it that worn-in look and feel. Cameos pendants are a popular choice, as are chandelier earrings. There are many categories of vintage jewelry, so it will depend on how you choose to wear and style the pieces with the rest of your wardrobe.

Wear Jewelry Like Angelina Jolie
by admin on May.04, 2009, under Jewelry
Every celebrity has a signature accessory style – be it demure, pink gemstones; bold, big designs; over the top with diamonds; or elegantly simple pearls. Here, Dasha Boutique jewelry designer Sarah Smith reveals the secrets behind Angelina Jolie’s jewelry style and challenges you to make her look work for you. Read on to find out how you can copy Angelina’s look – without breaking the bank.
Earthly Materials
Like everything else Angelina Jolie loves, her accessories include straightforward earthly materials and colors. She loves strong, multi-layered pearls, intricate gold chains and eternity rings on black leather strands. Her jewelry is consistent and somewhat regal-looking in that she frequently dons matching necklace and earring sets. She does not go for contrast, happily laying gold on her tanned skin or hanging black leather over a black t-shirt. In this way her jewelry is a subtle addition to her outfit, rather than overwhelming. Finally, one cannot forget the vile of Billy Bob Thornton’s blood she hung around her neck for so long – if nothing else, this is a reminder to make your jewelry sentimental. Take the time to learn its history and you will feel more than an aesthetic attachment to the piece.
Recently Spotted Jewels: Multi strand pearl necklace; Gold teardrop filigree earrings with matching teardrop pendant necklace; Diamond eternity ring on a black leather strand.
Get The Look: with this Multi-Link Gold Metallic Necklace.
Jewelry is the secret weapon of every female celebrity, whether she’s strutting down the red carpet or stepping out to the corner store for another box of ginger tea. A sparkling pair of chandelier earrings, a bracelet dangling sentimental charms, or a striking gemstone pendant necklace all add a precisely personal touch to their outfits and over time, each individual celebrity’s accessory style becomes part of her signature look. Unlike clothing, the most beautiful jewelry is timeless, so it can be worn again and again, with almost any outfit. However, just like clothing, jewelry colors and designs must be tailored to the individual wearer to complement her natural features best.
