Jewels
are often an afterthought when it comes to adorning a
great dress or ensemble, but we think this is a
delicious treat that should be considered first when
dressing for a special occasion this year. If your dress
is too ornate to warrant that fantastic neck piece, we
say buy a simpler dress. Don't dress down your jewels.
There's
something so very old
Hollywood
and glamorous about draping yourself in chunky, sparkly,
colorful, can't-take-your-eyes-off-it jewelry. Because
let's face it: When you have on great jewelry, people
rarely pay that much attention to anything else you're
wearing.
And just
like any good dessert, it doesn't have to be high-end to
be intensely satisfying. Some days you want lemon
semifreddo and some days you want apple pie.
We
rounded up a collection of jewelry from
ABC Trading Co.'s
discount warehouse (www.abccostumejewelry.com)
of sparkle in
St. Louis
, the museum-quality bling on display at Adam Foster
Fine Art Jewelry (www.fosterjewelry.com)
in
Clayton, Mo.
, and the sugar-plum, happy palace otherwise known as
Kate Spade
, among others.
The
result is accessories that range in price from
$6.95 to $5,800
, but the emphasis is on items that can stop traffic.
