Crave: 1928 Jewelry

Catherine StrawnJanuary 30, 2009 //

When you don’t have the money to buy a whole new outfit, it’s all about the accessories. For example, if you take a simple dress and add a jeweled brooch, you’re suddenly as stylish as Michelle Obama! The gems at 1928 Jewelry look as though you inherited your grandmother’s gorgeous baubles because they’re based on vintage jewelry from around the world. While you’ll look like a million bucks wearing this brooch, bracelet, or earrings, buying them will barely put a dent in your bank account. [prices vary, 1928 Jewelry]

We’re giving away the three 1928 Jewelry items pictured above to five readers, but you have to work if you want to shine like the top of the Chrysler Building. The five best commenters for this coming week — from today, Friday, Dec. 30 through Thursday, Feb. 5 — will be awarded with a set. So, be as clever, smart, and original as you can!

Crave: Catherine Rapetti Single Love Knot Bracelets

Cheryl Brody FranklinJanuary 28, 2009 //

These soft, woven bangles remind us of the barrel stitch gimp bracelets we’d attempt to make in summer camp. We’d try to make one fit our wrist but would always run out of materials and get stuck with a stubby key chain. These leather bracelets are just as colorful, and they’re a major step up from plastic lanyard. [$93, CatherineRapetti.com] Keep reading »

Crave: Arabella Venus In Furs Necklace

Loren LankfordJanuary 22, 2009 //

We love fun scarves just as much as the next fashionista, but, dang it, trying to make a fancy scarf look cute, rather than like something Jan from “The Brady Bunch” would wear, isn’t always the easiest task. Thankfully, this statement piece crafted from vintage Oscar de la Renta or Chloe silk scarves will look beautiful around your neck, no fancy scarf-tying skills needed. Sure, it costs $125, but just remind your label-loving self that it’s designer. [$125, Manic Trout] Keep reading »

Crave: Secret Garden Charm Key And Locket Earrings

Catherine StrawnJanuary 13, 2009 //

Lulu Frost is a super-cool jewelry company that incorporates old hotel room numbers, antique charms, and rhinestone belt buckles into new necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. The only thing is, it’s a little too expensive for us, especially since the economy tanked. But now we can get budget-friendly pieces with the same family heirloom-feel from Lulu Frost’s Urban Outfitters line, Secret Garden. Oh, Lulu, how we love you! [$24, Urban Outfitters] Keep reading »

Crave: Alex & Chloe Paperclip Necklace

Loren LankfordJanuary 12, 2009 //

We left our big ol’ vintage costume jewelry in the dust after falling in love with minimalist jewelry designers Alex & Chloe. What’s not to love? Simple jewelry goes with everything, which means you can wear it more often and thus not feel as guilty about spending $100 on a necklace. This Paperclip necklace, which comes in sterling silver, oxidized silver, and 14k gold, is perfect for the office-supply lover in all of us. [$100, Alex & Chloe] Keep reading »

Cheapskate: HSN Jewelry Can Be Cute And Inexpensive

Annika HarrisJanuary 10, 2009 //

I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, so I’ve been watching a lot of late night TV. HSN, formerly Home Shoppers Network, has become one of my favorite networks because the sales are always a surprise. Sure, the hosts sell a lot of mattresses and frumpy clothing, but oftentimes, the jewelry is rather genius. HSN hipped me to stainless steel jewelry that is cute and affordable. And unlike other costume jewelry, stainless steel jewelry will never turn, rust or lose its luster. Keep reading »

Crave: Alexis Bittar Sculptural Necklace

SimchaJanuary 8, 2009 //

Jewelry designer Alexis Bittar makes thoroughly modern pieces with retro nods. Whether it’s his shaved lucite bangles with inlaid gold polka dots or this sculptural metal necklace, his goods are playfully sophisticated. In fact, his unique pieces, handmade in a Brooklyn loft, look more bent for an art museum, which explains why they retail at the MoMa store. Lucky for us, we don’t have to be a well-lit wall in a prestigious gallery or even a wealthy patron to wear his rad rhodium necklace.You can even pick up this beauty online. [$225,AlexisBittar.com]

Crave: Margo Morrison Jewelry (Win A Pair!)

Cheryl Brody FranklinJanuary 2, 2009 //

We’re obsessed with Margo Morrison’s jewelry line. She creates beautiful pieces out materials like abalone shell, peach moonstone, and labradorite. And we’re not alone in our love of Morrison’s unique pieces. Her fan following includes Whitney Port, Blake Lively and Julia Roberts. Not a bad roster. All of her jewelry — from dainty drop earrings to dramatic, multi-strand necklaces — look amazing with a white T-shirt and jeans or your favorite little black dress. We especially love these itty-bitty oval, turquoise drop earrings. They’re effortlessly classy — just like us! [$75, MargoMorrison.com]

We’re giving away five pairs of these Margo Morrison turquoise drop earrings, but you have to work if you want them.
