Sparkle me Pretty with Fabulous and Festive Earrings

Although I am sad to say good-bye to summer. Fall’s arrival is welcomed with an air of excitement. Along with the cooler weather come many cultural events such as the ballet, opera and the fall antiques show that are worth dressing up for. The next three months are jam-packed with social events and many occasions to celebrate with friends and family. This time of year I take careful inventory of my accessories and in particular, earrings. I am in desparate need of some fabulous and festive earrings and have spotted a few that are calling my name…

Ever since spying the gorgreous vintage turquoise necklace on Eva Mendez and her white Dior gown at the Golden Globes, and on The Rachel Zoe Project, I am in love with the beautiful blue stone paired with white. So these 24-karat yellow gold-plated teardrop earrings ($315.00 at Neiman Marcus.com) obviously caught my eye. The amazing detail inset and hammered drops are accented with turquoise beads, and gold Austrian crystals. Next from Isharya is a pair of teardrop earrings with purple resin stones ($315.00 at Neiman Marcus.com). So pretty and delicate, these 18-karat gold plated drop earrings are sure to turn a head or two.  The Turkish designer, Gurhan Orhan has a distinctive hand hammered look to his designs and is a pioneer in the use of 24k gold in jewelry design. These duster graduated multi-flake chain earrings ($3100 at Fragments.com) feature 24k yellow gold with black diamond beads. I bet these earrings look amazing as they shimmer in the light. If money were no object I’d instantly grab a pair of these Pippa Small Peacock Earrings, (£6,500 at AstleyClarke.com). These charming dramatic earrings from London designer, Pippa Small are made of 18k gold and with a peacock design and labradorite detailing.
