A Midsummer Night's Dream

Yes, you heard correctly...it's midsummer, or past midsummer already...off to a rocky start, but the past few weekends have been beautiful, dreamy and absolutely perfect for a romantic evening outside. Whether your out east in the Hamptons, dining at over-the-top, luxury, star-studded restaurants, or you've been swept away by your loved one to a romantic, intimate destination, or even locked away in the city at a swanky downtown cozy little jewel, there's nothing more perfect than adding a little romance to complete your outfit. It doesn't matter if you're feeling trendy, conservative, punk, romantic, classic or flashy, a midsummer night's dream is all about how you want to accessorize yourself...not only in your dreams.

With a dabble of romance this week, we're keeping our eye on Van Cleef & Arpels. They did it right...feel enchanted by their diamond encrusted fairy and flower gems..how about a dazzling dual butterfly ring, that so delicately rests between two of your fingers, or their perfect snowflake and diamond Fleurette necklace, that perfectly rests on your neck..and listen to the sound of the dragonflies and butterflies...the charm and chime of the diamonds add that special and romantic effect...

You can never go wrong with a piece from Van Cleef...though it may be an investment, it will always remain timeless!

"Rock With You"

In the recent weeks we've all mourned the loss of Michael Jackson...His genius creativity and artistry has touched people all over the world...now, we want to pay homage to the king of pop. His music, his style, and of course, his trademark love of swarovski crystals has left an incredible impact on us. Whether his jacket or infamous glove was bejeweled with hundreds of thousands of crystals of all different colors and shapes, or the mere fact that he was supposed to wear 300,000 sparklers for his upcoming tour, or maybe it's just the glitter and glow of who he was just made him shine, either way, we know he will always be a rock star, and he'll always "Rock With You." 

Sport a Jackson glove this week, the number 5, or a music note charm... embellish it with crystals, dazzle yourself with lots of diamonds, rhinestones, anything that will sparkle to help keep MJ in your heart.

Market Week in NYC...oh the trends for winter have arrived!

We checked out the shows in New York this week and were thrilled to see designers willing to take a risk. Our favorite trend is the layered chunky stone necklace mixed with chains. It is all about the statement necklace this winter and one is better than the next. Whether long or short, these necklaces are a true statement piece that you do not need to wear anything else with it except for your watch.

Geema Redux, Erickson Beamon and Gerard Yosca were our top 3 picks from the show! We loved them all and wished we could have taken them home with us. We are obsessed with having that one item to make your outfit, it is so easy.... No need to fuss with a million accessories to complete an outfit, all you need it that ONE and you are good to go out on the town. If you are interested in seeing some pictures let us know and we will share the scoop so you can plan for your next great items for the season :)

It is Award Season!!

The only great thing about freezing in New York in the middle of January is sitting on your couch with a warm cup of tea, under a blanket, and watch the Golden Globes. It happens to be my favorite award show, mainly for the red carpet. The dresses and jewelry worn by the celebs kick off the spring season and what we can expect to add to our list of "must-have" items. It was all about understated elegance this year due to the hard times our country is facing. Dresses were mainly in neutral tones with pops of red and bright colors. Jewelry was simple yet bold with the occasional "WOW" necklaces. Earrings were large stud drops and chandelier is still in the mix. Necklaces went from long layered diamonds by the yard to the oversized, eye popping collar necklaces worn by Eva Mendes and Beyonce. They were showstoppers! Turquoise was the color of choice if you went for it, otherwise is was all about diamonds diamonds and more diamonds. Stacking bangles or bracelets was still a huge trend last night. No matter how it was worn, it was about picking 2 of the 3 to wear and not all at the same time - earring, necklace, bracelet. Large yet sophisticated style was eloquently portrayed on all.

Let 27 Facets help you get the look (in real of faux) and we will make you become a show stopper at your next event. Call or email us anytime!
