King has expanded her design endeavors by creating a new collection for QVC, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ann King Sterling &amp; 18K Gold Jewelry&lt;/span&gt;. This luxurious line – inspired by nature, architecture, and fashion – is meant to draw out a woman's inner beauty while helping her exude glamour in everyday life. She designs for women much like herself — those who see themselves as beautiful, confident, and sensational. Uncompromising on quality and dedicated to the creative process, Ann King oversees all aspects of her sterling silver and 18K gold jewelry collection. Crafted in the Old World tradition, each piece is made to be worn and enjoyed for a lifetime. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.CM_SCID.coll.item.J139433.desc.Ann-King-Sterling-18K-Faceted-Lavender-Chalcedony-Ring" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t45/maggie6138/maggie2/maggie3/ann4.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="355" alt="gemstone ring"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ann King Sterling &amp; 18K Faceted Lavender Chalcedony Ring&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;A round, checkerboard-cut lavender chalcedony is prong set in the center, accentuated by 18K yellow gold details on the sides of the polished, beveled shank. &lt;br /&gt;$107&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.CM_SCID.coll.item.J29445.desc.Ann-King-Sterling-Bold-Luna-Pendant-with-18-Bead-Chain" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t45/maggie6138/maggie2/maggie3/ann5.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="355" alt="sterling silver pendant"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Ann King Sterling Bold Luna Pendant with 18" Bead Chain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Set on a beaded chain, this sleek sterling pendant is fashioned in an open, dimensional, quatrefoil design.

The satin-finish petals, polished border, and dangling carved teardrop-shaped black agate gemstone create a stunning and unique addition to your jewelry box. &lt;br /&gt;$183&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From her studio apartment, Ann King began by catering to clients and transforming their desires into unique creations. In 1981, her career took off and she launched Ann King Design. The following year, King's jewelry caught the eye of Mort Abelson, director of the New York Jewelry Show. He asked King to feature her work in the New Designer Room at an upcoming Jewelers of America event. The rest is history - not only did she land a place at fine jewelry stores, she also sparked the interest of &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Jewelers' Circular Keystone&lt;/span&gt;, a leading industry publication. As fate would have it, King was featured in an article about up-and-coming artists along with rising star, Steven Lagos. They married in 1987 and united their businesses to form &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;LAGOS&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4980620367391562238-2266838574636281100?l=designingdivas.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~4/29Hh6a2CkKY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~3/29Hh6a2CkKY/ann-king-jewelry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maggiemac)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://designingdivas.blogspot.com/2009/07/ann-king-jewelry.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980620367391562238.post-162038817719113648</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-04T09:57:11.872-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Celebrity Jewelry</category><title>Suzanne Somers Jewelry</title><description>&lt;h3&gt;Celebrity Jewelry&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suzanne Somers brings you glitzy, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;bold jewelry with a splash of Hollywood style&lt;/span&gt;.

Marisa Miller showcased this necklace on the cover of the Sports Illustrated 2008 Swimsuit Edition, but for occasions where modesty is of the essence, we can assure you it looks just as stunning with a white t-shirt and jeans. &lt;br /&gt;$875&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The talented duo met while studying at &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Parsons School of Design&lt;/span&gt; in New York City, and they have developed a unique synergy. Both men spent time designing for leading names – Badgley for Donna Karan and Mischka, the men’s collection for WilliWear WilliSmith - before starting their own line. Mark and James joined forces in 1988, and since the beginning, &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Badgley Mischka&lt;/span&gt; has captivated the fashion press and prominent retailers around the world, with a style that caters to a young, modern couture customer, without forsaking women of any age. They have remained true to this design philosophy and the consistent integrity of their collections has pushed them to the forefront of fashion.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4980620367391562238-4323276916914689158?l=designingdivas.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~4/85Mvdsqxi1E" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~3/85Mvdsqxi1E/badgley-mischka-jewelry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maggiemac)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://designingdivas.blogspot.com/2009/07/badgley-mischka-jewelry.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980620367391562238.post-2507486249821047404</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-02T09:08:12.232-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Handmade Jewelry</category><title>Blue Heron Jewelry</title><description>&lt;h3&gt;Handcrafted Designer Jewelry&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ability to see what others cannot and to reveal the beauty within - that is what gives &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Emily Palm&lt;/span&gt;, Blue Heron Jewelry and Hair Accessories' master artisan, the inspiration to create stunning pieces.

Always having an appreciation for ethnic handcrafts, vintage, and tribal inspired jewelry, Sue wanted to create a line that reflected these unusual yet intriguing elements together. Each piece in the Castaway collection is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;handcrafted in the designer's studio&lt;/span&gt; in Brooklyn, NY. A small limited quantity is produced in each design to maintain a sense of originality and exclusivity. Unique finds such as &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;African sea glass beads&lt;/span&gt; from Ghana, hand-dyed silk fabrics, and random seashells from the Caribbean Islands are used to create beautiful earthy jewels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.couturecandy.com/castaway/molakai-bracelet-in-blue-gold-/product.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t45/maggie6138/maggie2/maggie3/cast1.jpg" border="0" width="258" height="388" alt="sea glass bracelet"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Castaway Molakai Bracelet in Blue &amp; Gold &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The Molakai Bracelet with a horn toggle in blue and gold sea glass beads threaded onto a leather cord, this bracelet has a naturally authentic feel. For added detail, the bracelet closes with a horn toggle and loop.&lt;br /&gt;$132&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.couturecandy.com/castaway/aquamarine-agate-brass-leaf-earrings-gold/product.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t45/maggie6138/maggie2/maggie3/cast2.jpg" border="0" width="258" height="388" alt="vintage earrings"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Castaway Polynesia Earrings &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The Island Couture Collection is bright and fresh with inspiration of the sea for their designs. Castaway has made a soft dangle earring for your everyday wear. The Gold Plated Hoop earrings have a lovely combination of aquamarine and agate stones for color with vintage brass leaves and shell chips.&lt;br /&gt;$88&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.couturecandy.com/castaway/african-sea-glass-multi-strand-necklace-/product.html" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t45/maggie6138/maggie2/maggie3/cast3.jpg" border="0" width="258" height="388" alt="bead necklace"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Castaway Mauritius Necklace &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The Mauritius Necklace is a uniquely crafted beaded necklace. This necklace has a single strand of sea glass beads that separate into three strands along the front. For added detail, a horn oval accents one of the front strands. A combination of blue and teal sea glass.&lt;br /&gt;$180&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Launched in the Spring of 2006, Castaway is inspired by the exotic islands, nature, and the handmade art usually seen in village flea markets along the coast of the Caribbean and Mexico. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Semiprecious stones and metals&lt;/span&gt; are also used in the collection for more intricate and delicate pieces. The idea behind Castaway is to find the beauty and mystery beyond the unpolished exterior by combining beautiful vibrant stones then allowing them to radiate in a mixture of &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;vintage jewels&lt;/span&gt; and metals. Each piece in the Castaway collection is completely original.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4980620367391562238-7651640913636101383?l=designingdivas.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~4/1RyLk24dhFc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~3/1RyLk24dhFc/castaway-island-jewelry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maggiemac)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://designingdivas.blogspot.com/2009/06/castaway-island-jewelry.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980620367391562238.post-8817323331501189038</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2009 13:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-23T09:07:15.144-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Fashion Jewelry</category><title>Michael Dawkins Jewelry</title><description>&lt;h3&gt;Designer Fashion Jewelry&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael Dawkins has spent the last 18 years developing and evolving one of the most recognizable and respected brands in &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;designer jewelry&lt;/span&gt;. Michael has always designed collections using classic materials that he is inherently drawn to: silver, gold, diamonds, an endless variety of semi-precious stones, as well as more unusual natural materials found in travels around the world. Early in his career, he discovered the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;ancient technique of granulation&lt;/span&gt;, in which metal is heated and formed into tiny spheres which are affixed in various patterns. Incorporating this design element alongside clean crisp lines provides a signature that is uniquely his own. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.CM_SCID.coll.item.J42425.desc.Michael-Dawkins-Sterling-Doublet-Enhancer-w-18-Chain" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t45/maggie6138/maggie2/maggie3/mic4-1.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="355" alt="gemstone pendant"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Michael Dawkins Sterling Doublet Enhancer &amp; 18" Chain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;A gorgeous rose-cut, bezel-set blue agate and quartz doublet is set on the diamond-shaped enhancer.

The twisted hoop is richly detailed with oxidized bead granulation and highly polished sides. Total Limon quartz weight is approximately 2.60 carats&lt;br /&gt;$86&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using a &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;wide array of materials and design elements&lt;/span&gt; allows Michael Dawkins to present collections that combine his modern, functional sensibility with an infinite respect for the hues, textures, and compositions abundant in nature. Cultivating a lifelong interest in the study of natural objects, he was drawn as a student to architecture and industrial design. It is the combination of these interests and the pursuit of an aesthetic sensibility that combines them all, that influences his design process. Michael Dawkins jewelry is featured at some of the finest retailers in the world including Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and selected fine jewelry stores throughout the US, the Caribbean, and Canada.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4980620367391562238-8817323331501189038?l=designingdivas.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~4/iYxdiShcoOU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~3/iYxdiShcoOU/michael-dawkins-jewelry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maggiemac)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://designingdivas.blogspot.com/2009/06/michael-dawkins-jewelry.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980620367391562238.post-2732422863801862615</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:21:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-22T08:23:40.190-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Silver Jewelry</category><title>Sajen Silver Jewelry</title><description>&lt;h3&gt;Silver and Gemstone Jewelry&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sajen, based in southern Vermont, began in 1987, when Marianna and Richard Jacobs first lived in Bali, Indonesia.

The result is an extraordinary and contemporary jewelry, with just a hint of Balinese culture. In 1987, Marianna and Richard Jacobs lived in a thatched roof bamboo house in the rice paddies of Ubud, the cultural center of Bali, Indonesia. As a graduate student at Yale School of Art, Richard won a Luce Scholarship to paint in Bali. Marianna spent the year working in a silver factory, creating jewelry and learning the ancient secrets of the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Balinese master silversmiths&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4980620367391562238-2732422863801862615?l=designingdivas.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~4/nozbNBDQv3c" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~3/nozbNBDQv3c/sajen-silver-jewelry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maggiemac)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://designingdivas.blogspot.com/2009/06/sajen-silver-jewelry.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980620367391562238.post-3265327863140728803</guid><pubDate>Sun, 21 Jun 2009 13:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-21T09:32:22.780-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Fashion Jewelry</category><title>Kenneth Cole New York Jewelry</title><description>&lt;h3&gt;Designer Fashion Jewelry&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although mainly known for its shoes, Kenneth Cole Productions also makes men's, women's, and children's clothing and accessories under three brands: Kenneth Cole New York, Reaction Kenneth Cole, and Unlisted, which can be found in more than 4,500 department and specialty stores.

The designs incorporate different shapes, stones, and materials, so modern women can instantly change their look. In 1982, young Kenneth Cole had a dream to start a shoe company, but that took a little more capital than he had. So, with a little innovative thinking, he formed Kenneth Cole Productions, and applied for a permit to shoot a film called The Birth of a Shoe Company. In just two and a half days 40,000 shoes were sold out of the back of a 40-foot trailer in Midtown Manhattan, and a shoe company was born.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4980620367391562238-3265327863140728803?l=designingdivas.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~4/fC1NG3e4ZgE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~3/fC1NG3e4ZgE/kenneth-cole-new-york-jewelry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maggiemac)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://designingdivas.blogspot.com/2009/06/kenneth-cole-new-york-jewelry.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980620367391562238.post-6037299628675081142</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jun 2009 13:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-20T09:19:50.871-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">PMC Precious Metal Clay Jewelry</category><title>Soul Harbor Jewelry</title><description>&lt;h3&gt;Precious Metal Clay Jewelry&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soul Harbor &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;fine silver jewelry&lt;/span&gt; is created with Precious Metal Clay, and is almost 100% pure silver after firing (.999), and &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;will not tarnish&lt;/span&gt;. All pieces are kiln fired, some several times if containing glass enamels. Joni at Soul Harbor was introduced to Precious Metal Clay (&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;PMC&lt;/span&gt;) in 2002. Her interest and excitement for the medium was immediate and has grown through her own experimentation and certification classes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16963388" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t45/maggie6138/maggie2/maggie3/soul1.jpg" border="0" width="375" height="500" alt="fine silver pendant"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Gingko Leaf Pendant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;This pendant was created with a real leaf, with layer after layer of silver clay paste painted on and allowed to dry. This is a long a tedious process but so worth the wait! Once fired in the kiln the leaf burns off, the two sides fuse as one and the result is nature's keepsake. This pendant is 2 1/2 inches across, 2 inches in length including the coiled bail. A 20 inch sterling silver curb style chain is included.&lt;br /&gt;$65&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=12148038" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t45/maggie6138/maggie2/maggie3/soul2.jpg" border="0" width="375" height="280" alt="glass enamel pendant"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Tree of Life Pendant&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Vibrant glass enamels in sky blue, sea green and earthy browns embellished this pendant, which is 1 inch across, almost 2 inches in length, including the bale.

Each of the three components has its own Celtic design and has a soft brushed finish. The three components measure 3 1/4 inches long together. This necklace hangs on a sterling link chain and measures about 17 inches. It also has a silver lobster claw clasp.&lt;br /&gt;$99&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The versatility of &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;creating jewelry with PMC&lt;/span&gt; allows Joni to unite her jewelry with her passion for the colors of the sea and all things of the Earth. Brilliant &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;glass enamels and vibrant beads&lt;/span&gt; bring her jewelry to life. The escape into creativity and the journey to places yet undiscovered is the foundation of Soul Harbor Jewelry. Joni's artwork and life evolve without predetermined plans or sketches. Having the freedom to let her jewelry unfold and grow before her eyes brings moments of chaos, but also moments of clarity.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4980620367391562238-6037299628675081142?l=designingdivas.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~4/dB-kpBKI2oc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~3/dB-kpBKI2oc/soul-harbor-jewelry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maggiemac)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://designingdivas.blogspot.com/2009/06/soul-harbor-jewelry.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980620367391562238.post-5479124428302469300</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2009 12:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-19T08:27:18.449-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Fashion Jewelry</category><title>Betsey Johnson Fashion Jewelry</title><description>&lt;h3&gt;Jewelry Designer&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;New York designer&lt;/span&gt; Betsey Johnson has built her long-standing career in fashion by following her own set of rules.

Dana creates jewelry with the ideas of individuality, lightness, and distinction as her main focus. Each piece is created for functionality, with each individual wearer in mind. Like the human spirit, stones are permeable. Each stone brings out those spaces in the spirit that have been drained and helps enhance what is naturally within. Dana Blair Designs jewelry and accessories can be found at its store at Edge, NY, 65 Bleeker Street, New York City, and in a variety of stores through the United States.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4980620367391562238-751317940837531676?l=designingdivas.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~4/4-0UdBHR_ug" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~3/4-0UdBHR_ug/dana-blair-jewelry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maggiemac)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://designingdivas.blogspot.com/2009/06/dana-blair-jewelry.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980620367391562238.post-8039621159761568748</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-10T08:36:08.870-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Fashion Jewelry</category><title>Erickson Beamon Jewelry</title><description>&lt;h3&gt;Vintage Jewelry&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karen Erickson and Vicki Beamon are responsible for &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;resurrecting the choker&lt;/span&gt; and making the word 'chandelier' mean more than just a fancy light fixture.

When no one would lend them jewelry to accessorize the collection, they began to string &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;beads and crystals&lt;/span&gt; on suede and thus Erickson Beamon was born. Over the years,  the brand has evolved, collaborating with major designers, selling to top retailers, and has graced the pages of such magazines like &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/span&gt;, and &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4980620367391562238-8039621159761568748?l=designingdivas.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~4/ik0AuoM3GbE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/DesigningDivas/~3/ik0AuoM3GbE/erickson-beamon-jewelry.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Maggiemac)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://designingdivas.blogspot.com/2009/06/erickson-beamon-jewelry.html</feedburner:origLink></item></channel></rss>
