Stacks of Gold Bangles look great as well. As seen here on Jennifer Aniston. This look is also available at Edina Kiss. A set of 20 20k Gold Filled Bangles is $248.00.

I have created simple instructions and images for making a simple drop earring.
Step 1 – First you will need to gather your supplies. I used 2 inch Silver Head Pins, Chalk Turquoise Flat Beads, a silver round spacer, 6mm Swarovski Crystal Tuquoise Beads and sterling silver ear wires. You will also need a pair round nose pliers and cutters. You can find most supplies at any Hobby Lobby or any of your local craft stores.
Step 2 – Slide your beads onto your head pin in the design you want.
Step 3 – Using cutter pliers, remove any excess wire, leaving approximately 1/4-inch of wire.
Step 4 – Using your bent nose or chain nose pliers, bend the wire to form a right angle as close to the bead as possible.
Step 5 – Grab the very end of the wire at a point approximately 1/8-inch down from the tip of your round nose pliers. Roll the wire around the tip of the round nose pliers to form a complete circle centered over the wire stem.
Step 6 – Open the loop from your earwire, once your dangle is connected, close the loop back to its closed position using your pliers.
Your finished. Use the same steps to complete your second earrings.

After stumbling on this image of Ali Larter wearing an Erickson Beamon necklace I feel in love with it. I wanted to find out more about the necklace and the name behind it. Over 2 decades ago, the line was founded by Karen Erickson, Eric Erickson and Vicki Beamon when they needed jewelry pieces to compliment their fashion line for runway shows. Each piece is meticulously made by hand using crystals and semi precious stones.
This showstopper piece on Ali Larter grabs all the attention at the Whitney Contemporaries Art Party and Auction in New York.
Erickson Beamon is also a favorite of First Lady Michelle Obama. As seen here wearing a pearl and floral necklace at the third presidential debate.
They have also launched an affordable line at Target with most pieces available for under $40. Now everyone can have their very own Erickson Beamon piece.

One of my favorite designers Edina Kiss was featured in this month’s issue of Instyle Magazine. Eva Longoria wore a pair of her Bella Turquoise Earrings to Paleyfest 09. I own this particular pair of earrings. I love wearing them with jeans and a white t-shirt or you can dress them up with a cute wrap dress and a simple gold necklace. They definitely stand out on their own and I always get compliments on them. All of Edina’s pieces are handmade by her, so every piece is made with great detail and her signature style. These particular earrings are hand formed out of 14K Gold Filled and wrapped with Swarovski Crystals. They are adorned with 3 Turquoise stones. Priced at $178.00 You can purchase them at www.edinakiss.com
