Feel Like a Star with Starhaven’s New Collection

Silver, silver, silver — in jewelry, silver is the new black, if you will.  It emerged as a growing trend this spring, and thus far during the summer, it has shown no signs of stopping, which is quite excellent for those of us who are so fair skinned we tend to look rather sallow in [...]

Judith Ripka: Affordable Couture

It can be extremely difficult to find designer jewelry that does not necessarily have to cost an arm and a leg.  Oh, you can find designer knock offs, but I mean real, high quality jewelry, well made and exquisitely designed.  Browsing around today, I found one possible exception to that rule: Judith Ripka.
