MOD Must Have: Anjolee, Jewels great for a Bride

MoD Must Haves

stylish, tactile, novel 

for jewel lovers

I just celebrated my 15th wedding anniversary. It feels like yesterday when I was living in Manhattan and planning my wedding. At that time there wasn't pinterest or any online magazines to search for ideas. I had to rely on magazines and comfortable pumps to hunt for the perfect dress, headpiece and jewelry. In a small shop in Brooklyn, I scored and an exquisite vintage headpiece but no other jewelry really spoke to me. 

Who is that lovely couple below?

Fast forward, the internet has opened so many doors for artists, and online companies. If Anjolee had existed 15 years ago it would have made my life so much easier. One of the largest diamond jewelry manufacturers in the U.S., Anjolee diamond jewelry offers some stunning selections from rings, to bracelets, to necklaces and wedding rings. Great customer service and an education center too. You can learn about the different cuts of diamonds and how to care for them. 

 Timeless Dreams Tennis Bracelet

I didn't get diamonds, but I am now rockin a new CZ Timeless Dreams Tennis bracelet that I customized.  Yes, custom. To your taste and budget, you can customize any gold or platinum jewelry design. 

Thanks Anjolee, I just love it! It's the bracelet that I was looking for my wedding day 15 years ago!

One Kings Lane: Light Up Your Look

Alice Chandelier by Crystorama

Lighting to a room is like that piece of jewelry that pulls your outfit together. It can transform a room from amazing to spectacular. One Kings Lane asked me to think about my favorite chandelier from their site and my favorite piece of statement jewelry as part of their Light Up Your Look campaign. I decided to get a bit nostalgic and pull out my Mother's beautiful vintage 14kt gold charm bracelet that she passed down to me. Besides holding meaning to me, the gold vintage finish paired with the intricate detailing prove to be a perfect piece of inspiration for this challenge.

If love is in the details, then the Alice Chandelier and Light Pendant Chandelier by Crystorama are perfect. I love the layering and connections giving exceptional texture and dimension, just like the charms in my Mothers bracelet. Both fixtures are sophisticated and timeless and can equally work in a modern or traditional decor.

And the gold finish on the Antique Gold 6-Light Crystorama fixture couldn't be more glamorous. I used to be more of a silver person but there is something about gold that is so luxurious. It is an effective way to bring on the bling in an interior.
