The chilly winter months are generally at time when many a jet-setting fashionista takes flight to warmer, tropical, lush locales. If you can’t steal away, Jewelry Dose has the cure for your winter blues: a bright line-up of glitzy baubles inspired by far away lands. These accentuating accessories will spice up the rest of your winter wardrobe and carry you through to the spring season.
India
Wrist-enveloping cuffs can make a bold, effortless statement in one swell swoop. Blydesign’s pink agate shield cuff is no exception. A larger-than-life India pink agate recalls the rich jewel toned fabric of this culture’s saris. In fact, this would make your sari (or sari-like dress) fierce. Or add a pop of color to a casual, denim and Indian-fabric scarf daytime look.
Fit for an Indian queen, Meghna Designs’ colorful maharaja earrings cascade jewels and deep hues down the neckline with an eye-catching gleam. Stay-cation like royalty and sport them on a sultry Saturday night out.
Tibet & China
We love the made-from-nature look of the Tibetan turquoise beads in Marie Chavez’s multi-layered turquoise beaded necklace—they perfectly complement the rustic finish of the antique gold plate. Plus, the mutli-chained bib shape has been a haute look for a few seasons now, we’re pretty sure it’s a staple that’s here to stay.
If you were to travel, you’d most likely pack a maxi dress (who wouldn’t?) and a bunch of beaded, braided stackable bracelets, like Blu Bijoux’s crystal skull beaded stretch bracelet. The coral China beads glamorize the charming crystal skull making this piece versatile—dress it up or down depending on your daily duds.
South Pacific
Nothing says South Pacific like the deep teal waters of Bora Bora. Meghna Designs captures the exact feeling in its turquoise Bora Bora cuff, with reflective beads and light-catching cubic zirconia.
Another aspect of the signature South Pacific experience is the South Seas pearl. These ageless beads of perfection add a touch of class to any ensemble. Sara Blaine’s South Seas Mother of Pearl stud earrings lend a modern take on this timeless treasure, with braided sterling silver bezel settings.
Egypt
With her new collection, Trina Turk transports us back to a simpler time, one of kohl eyeliner and extravagant pharaoh crests. Do your best ancient royal look (or Elizabeth Taylor impersonation) in the designer’s Cleopatra bangle, which features intricate woven and Egyptian designs, or Babylon ring, a gilded three-dimensional statement piece.
The Caribbean
Mix cultures and styles with Angel Court’s evil eye bangle, featuring the traditional spiritual symbol constructed of a glam marquise mocha crystal and Caribbean blue Swarovski crystals. Lay out in your favorite bikini with this bracelet and you’ll simply shine.
Teal, crisp Caribbean waters, white sand beaches, flourishing green palms… Ahhh, the island life is sweet. Even if you can’t get away for the weekend, channel your inner island gal in these Ben-Amun multi-stones drop turquoise earrings, with various sea-foam and light green tones.
