Treasure Tuesday, LAGOS Spring 2012 Collection: PAMELA PEKERMAN

I love caviar – what Russian gal doesn’t? Those little fish eggs do wonders in my belly. Place them in a homemade blitz and you have the makings for the best breakfast ever. Turns out, I also like caviar in my jewelry, as well. Below is a sneak peak at LAGOS’ spring 2012 jewelry collection, featuring their signature silver caviar beading and some caviar-like bubbles in natural turquoise, black onyx and white mother of pearl. The later are from the love me, love me not group which embodies the essence of spring – the joy of blossoming flowers, blue skies with cotton candy clouds, and playfulness. Can you tell I’m already over winter? Until spring comes, I’ll just have to enjoy the thought of warmer days to come via these treasures from LAGOS.

Treasure Tuesday, Dannijo Lislia Necklace: PAMELA PEKERMAN

I'm joining a tribe. The tribe of DANNIJO, two phenom, femtrepreneurs who also happen to be sisters. Did you hear that Michelle?  DANNIJO's Lislia Necklace is right on trend with fall's Native American vibe, but with an industrial twist. Part of me thinks, I can make that! The other part of me knows that the piece is sculpted to perfection with proper juxtaposition of stones, crystal and metal thanks to Danielle and Jodie Snyder's artistic eyes. All of me is certain I must have it! I can already see this in the fall over my beloved black H&M turtlenecks.

Would you wear this necklace? Are you a fan of DANNIJO? Share your thoughts below.

Treasure Tuesday, Kara Ross Triple Gemstone Sugarloaf Ring in Lapis: PAMELA PEKERMAN

The other week, I had a delicious lunch at Zengo with Kirsten Yadouga, a talented handbag designer who has worked with Juicy Couture and Reed Krakoff, to name a few. (She’s actually launching her own sleek and luxurious collection this year, which I’ll certainly share with all of you bagistas when I get the OK). While catching up over tuna tacos and duck rolls, my eyes were glued to Kristen’s craz-e town, lapis blue YSL ring. As you know, coral is my signature shade, but I couldn’t get that ring our of my mind! Ladies – and gents – I’ve been gone loco for lapis! So, when Kara Ross sent over some jewelry samples for a client I’m styling, and they include the Triple Gemstone Sugarloaf Ring ($265), it was fate. In addition to having the coveted lapis stone, the three-stones across hits on the wide-ring trend.

Mystery Monday, Etsy Gypsy Crochet Glass Crochet Necklace: PAMELA PEKERMAN

Keeping the knitting theme going, today’s Mystery Monday spotlight goes to Gypsy Crochet, a vendor on Etsy.com -- my latest resource for unique accessories! Gypsy Crochet uses natural stone and glass, and crochets around the rocks to create statement necklaces and rings. This teal bib necklace has my name written all over it. Plus, what I love about this vendor, and many of the artists on Etsy, is they package their merchandise with love. The wrapping pager, the feathered yarn, the vintage cigarette cases, the matching stuffing paper, it was so much fun unwrapping all the Etsy goodies last week, for today’s PIX11 segment.

Are you a fan of Etsy? What’s your favorite shop? Share your thoughts and who knows, maybe you'll win something from your favorite Etsy vendor!

Footwear Friday, Manolo Blahnik for TOUS: PAMELA PEKERMAN

This isn’t a new piece. It was new over a month or two ago, when an exited pr gal (who’s a good friend of mine) told me she was sending me a charm necklace that was a collaboration between her client TOUS and renowned footwear designer Manolo Blahnik. I had planned to write a Footwear Friday post the moment I received it. However, I stopped myself. Was I in love with this piece simply because it was in the shape of the iconic Manolo Blahnik Mary Jane? Was it really worth $279 for a gold plated item? Gold plated! So, I resolved to wait until I could showcase this piece to my sister Michelle, a shoe fanatic who happens to also own the actual Manolo Blahnik Mary Jane in black patent leather (among many, many others). Last Friday, she was at my office and I presenter her with the item. She squealed. I laughed. She a-shoed me the necklace was certainly worth the price tag, if the wearer was a devoted shoe lover who really appreciated the piece and would wear in on a regular basis, thus making it less expensive based on the CPW (Cost Per Wear). Truth be told, the Manolo Blahnik for TOUS collection is very special, crafted to illustrate every minuet detail of the shoe, and even packaged in the most adorable little shoe box. Is there a footwear lover out there with a birthday coming up? Add this to your wish list.

Treasure Tuesday, Jennifer Elizabeth's Life Love Jewels Collection: PAMELA PEKERMAN

One of my favorite pr mavens, Malorie Kaye of Cameo PR, can now add "designer" to her list of titles with the debut of Life. Love. Jewels, a collection for designer Jennifer Elizabeth. I didn't know Malorie was crafting baubles on the side, so it came as a shock when Jennifer Elizabeth's pr firm, Mariposa Communications, informed me that the olive branch ring I was swooning over was named Malorie ($98) after it's designer.  Angelic, yet strong - just like the Malorie I know and love - the leaves spread over three fingers and are accented with black diamond stones. I'm all about the rose gold finish, but the collection is available in oxidized silver and antique gold. Which is your favorite?

Treasure Tuesday, Enamel Hamsa Bracelet from Jewelry by Natalie: PAMELA PEKERMAN

I love Miami. I love religious jewelry. I love (ok I’m obsessed with) Café Bustelo. All three collided last week for a perfect trifecta of sunshine, sparkle and coco, when I met the ethereal and lovely Natalie Pomeranc of the newly launched (we’re talking about a week old) Jewelry by Natalie, at Café Bustelo on Collins Avenue in Miami.

Jewelry by Natalie is an uplifting costume jewelry brand with prices that can’t be beat. Everything is under $50 and as delicate and flawless as the adorable designer behind the brand. My eyes locked on an Enamel Hamsa bracelet. Each vibrant color on this piece is carefully painted in, then fired, and the process goes on until every minuscule nook is beaming with vibrancy. All that work and the piece is only $28. Below you’ll also see a Gold Coral Cuff ($48) that channels wonder woman and a Filigree Hamsa Necklace ($36). All prices include continental US shipping.

I know the Hamsa as a Jewish symbol of protection. It has been used to represent the five books of the Torah and the five senses to praise G-d. Hamsa also has Arabic roots where it is called the hand of Fatima, commemorating Fatima Zahra, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad. Both cultures see it as a symbol to ward off evil. We may as well ward off bad vibes in style. I love to stack two or three on my wrist for extra protection.

Lia Sophia Jewelry Sparkles on Celebrities at 2011 Sundance Film Festival: PAMELA PEKERMAN

You know how I feel about my jewelry, so you can only imagine how thrilled I was on Tuesday to have the team from Lia Sophia send over a bag full of baubles which I could wear on Good Day New York. To accent my black and grey faux fur vest (purchased at T.J.Maxx for $49) and black Herve Leger skirt, I ended up selecting Lia Sophia’s Cluster Ring ($125), Wrapped 2 Ring ($150) and Sequence Bracelet ($350).

Lia Sophia was the hottest jewelry brand at the Sundance Film Festival, with celebs like Kerry Washington,Kay Panabaker, Lake Bell, and Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos (featured above with the Royale gold bracelet) stopping by the Samsung Galaxy Tap Lift suite to pick up dazzling goodies.
