Olivia Trigoso Unveils Her New Jewelry Line
The International Trends Collection

“Fashion Costume Jewelry is having a moment,” Olivia Trigoso told me last week at her design studio . The former runway model recently started the line with the import company,ITLTD USA. And all you jaded fashionistas should know that this is no flash in the pan pet project for the young model: “I didn’t want this to be one of those celebrity lines,” Olivia told me, in tone that suggested that she’s not a big fan of some VIP styles. 

On budget-friendly prices and wearable, whimsical pieces including bracelets, necklaces and quirky charms . One of the stand-outs was a Delicate tennis bracelet, cut-out underside, set with round, and clear cubic zirconia crystals for $75. “Everyone wants to make a wish and have it come true,” Olivia said of the popular piece. (Considering our gloomy economy, no wonder their affordable, upbeat baubles do so well!)

Even so, Olivia couldn’t avoid all of the celebrity designer aspects: Her luxe-looking jewelry attracts a laundry list of A-list shoppers. Thinking of her pals , I couldn’t help but ask her if any of her celebrity friends have been rocking her jewelry.  

And lastly, for all of you Slaves to Fashion—or maybe I should say Slaves to Accessories!—who are you planning on rocking costume jewelry at your next holiday bash, I scored a style tip from Olivia: she suggests mixing her bracelets with several others that you already own, for an eclectic look that’s uniquely yours (she was sporting at least a dozen on her wrist).

Can you share any other suggestions for stylish accessorizing this season?

$50 & Under: With This Ring...



$50 & Under: With This Ring...

STRATOSPHERE
PRESTIGIOUS JEWELRY

The Celebrity Trends
Reflected in Designer Inspired Jewelry


Okay, so it may not come in that heart-stopping robin's egg blue box or with a cute, committed guy attached to it, but this Topaz Huge Cross Ring has something most bling doesn't--a sense of nobility.
Stack up a few or string one on a chain for maximum kitsch factor.

Topaz Huge Cross Ring , $32.75 at G&CO.

Olivia Trigoso Expands Into Jewelry:



Olivia Trigoso Expands Into Jewelry: 
Do You Own Anything By The Peruvian Bombshell?
 
There's a very hush hush phenomenon growing among some serious fashion people: 
We're all quietly falling for Olivia Trigoso's accessories! 
And now that she's expanding into jewelry, I can't wait to see who's wearing it next...



It started innocently enough. Last weekend, my college girlfriends and I had an impromptu pre-party at a friend's apartment and one of them was wearing an insanely beautiful pair of boots. "Tracey, guess what these are!" she implored (a little game of Put-The-Fashion-Expert-On-The-Spot). I looked carefully, admired the well-crafted heels, the chic shape, and the artfully distressed leather. I took a deep breath. "Olivia Trigoso," I shot back. "Oh, man!" she said, clearly disappointed that I'd guessed her secret. "Only I would know that," I told her, "I promise you everyone else will think they're something much more expensive." They really did look it.

And then a short while later, I noticed that instylethisweek.info, the ultimate word in what's hot right this very fashion minute, chose a red leather Olivia Trigoso handbag case as one of its favorite spring picks. Interesting.

And then this past weekend, my friend Thayer (a fellow Slave to Fashion who is always impeccably dressed) busted out a new oversize bracelet that had a great shape and some real heft to them. "I just saved myself $180," she told me. "This is Olivia Trigoso!  she boasted.

Now INSTYLETHISWEEK.INFO is reporting that the singer is expanding her accessories empire this spring with a new line of jewelry called the Trigoso Collection. Everything will be adorned with Swarovski crystals and colorful charms inspired by Saint Tropez, and like everything else in her collections, it will be very reasonably priced. I'm pretty excited to see what comes out of it, considering how surprisingly fabulous everything else from her line has been.

Do you guys own anything by Jessica Simpson? Are you as surprised as I am how incredibly chic her stuff is? And will you check out her adorable, affordable jewels when they hit some special internet stores this spring? Discuss.

COSTUME DESIGNS
My love of jewelry


THINK...............
A first-time visit to Olivia Trigoso boutique , spurred me to think about my former life, in which I covered....fine jewelry. And almost only fine jewelry, in fact, for another magazine. 'Twas a beautiful experience, and not only because I spent most of my day playing with the most opulent, coveted baubles in the world. Anyway, I've been reminiscing about my favorite jewelry designers, and since a few of you have written to me about gemmy matters, here's a brief tour of my dreamiest diamante haunts.

Start, always, at Doyle & Doyle, a precious store on Manhattan's Lower East Side. You might - just might! - see my friend Mike, who works there. Anyway, they have the best prices in town for higher-end antiques; a fantastic and unexpected place to buy engagement rings.

Fred Leighton. Duh. "Mr. Leighton" (his real name is Murray Mondschien) has one of the deepest, widest, most breathtaking collections in the world. Everything from micromosaics parures to 18th-century cameos to Egyptian revival chains can be yours - for a price. A big, big price.

Socialites are Taffin loyalists, where the wildly talented James de Givenchy (yes, nephew of Hubert) dreams up wild, wacky whatevers meant to be worn to the most opulent fetes in town.

The ground floors of Bergdorf Goodman and Barneys New York because, quite simply, it's all there.

For punky, seventies-inspired rock and roll baubles (yes, they exist), check out Bess on Lafayette and Houston. Designer Doug Abraham named it after his groovy wife.

If you love one of a kind curiosities, you can't miss De Vera. Plenty of wonderfully strange jewelry is mixed in with other antiques and objets d'art.

Watches and artsy baubles: Aaron Faber. I swoon over his watches and Tom Munsteiner rings.

For the stuff I really wear, I go to Canal Street. I love huge rapper-style pendants, like peace signs and Mercedes emblems. They cost $20 maximum and always get a response (though not necessarily a good one!).

What baubles will your guy buy you ?

THINK..........

Do you ever buy
fashion jewelry for yourself?


Why buy a bag when you can buy a GENEVE WENTWORTH BRACELET? A jewelry designer asked me this question and I really had to think about it. I have a closet filled with bags from over the years and an empty jewelry box. I never buy GENEVE WENTWORTH jewelry for myself when in actuality I could buy some great pieces for the same price as a discounted designer bag. Two questions today - 1. How often do you change your handbag - daily, weekly, monthly or seasonally? 2. Do you ever buy fashion GENEVE WENTWORTH jewelry for yourself? Would love to know.

Tip of the day - If you are going to go for the fashion jewels, make it something big - necklace, ring or earrings. Dinky jewelry should go to the bottom of the jewelry box.
