Must-Have Southern Style

jointventurejewelry — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 17:28:37 +0000

While trends come and go, certain things are a must-have! In New York you might need a great pair of stilettos, something glittery for a night out at the hottest new club, and a structured blazer for work, but it’s different here in the South. Southern women tend to have a more classic, relaxed kind of style, so we wanted to feature some must-haves for southern women which you can pick up at Joint Venture Jewelry & Peachy Keen!

1) Pearls

Quite possibly one of the most classic southern looks, pearls can be dressed up or down, worn as a simple strand, or paired with diamonds for a night out. There’s really no end to how they can be styled! Joint Venture Jewelry has plenty for you to check out, whether you’re looking for something more traditional or something contemporary!

2) Eye Catching Prints

Southern girls can’t be without a few good prints in their closet. Whether you like geometrics, florals, or something a little more abstract, Peachy Keen has the prints to keep all eyes on you!

3) Sparkly Accessories

Joint Venture Jewelry has no end to sparkly accessories which can take any outfit from ho-hum to WOW in seconds! Whether you like rings or earrings, necklaces, or bracelets, we’ve got you covered.

4) Jeans

With Peachy Keen’s Denim Wall, we have so much variety in our jeans that you’re sure to find something you love! High rise over low? Prefer a more rigid fit? Looking for jeans you can cuff in the summer and wear long when it cools off? Obsessed with fashion colors? Into the new flare trend? We have it all!

5) Family Heirlooms

When it comes to family heirlooms, there are a few ways Joint Venture can help. Have you inherited a piece of jewelry that just isn’t your style? Let us help you redesign it.

Stop everything! One of my favorite 90’s trends is back, the CHOKER! Of course what’s old is new again in an upgraded more trendy look. You’ll see this trend big and bold accented with different stones, or in the slick stylish leather rope style. Which do you prefer? Taylor Swift is into the simple rope chain!

Make It Yours - Specialty Gents' Bands

jointventurejewelry — Mon, 10 Oct 2016 18:47:00 +0000

Joint Venture Jewelry is thrilled to announce the arrival of our newest collection of gents’ specialty wedding bands! Available in a variety of traditional and non-traditional materials, these new wedding bands have virtually limitless possibilities.

Materials

Zirconium

Zirconium gets its lustrous, black, outer layer from heat treatment. This layer is scratch resistant and great for creating two-toned rings.

Inlays

Inlay options include hardwood, carbon fiber, meteorite, precious metals, and more. You can add warmth and personality to your ring by adding an inlay that appeals to you!

Cobalt Chrome

A brilliant, hypoallergenic metal, Cobalt Chrome is bright white and stands up to wear and tear.

Damascus Steel

Created from two different types of stainless steel layered together repeatedly, Damascus Steel creates a unique look. This ancient metalworking technique - originally used to create samurai swords - creates durable, one-of-a-kind rings!

Titanium

Made of aerospace grade Titanium, these bands are strong, hard, and light weight. Ideal for rings you want to stand up to the test of time.

Precious Metal

For the guy looking for something a little more traditional, these rings are also available in more standard jewelry materials such as platinum, palladium, and 10k, 14k, or 18k white, rose, or yellow gold.

On top of all these options, there are a variety of finishes, profiles, and enhancements. The company we work with is based in the USA, handcrafts every ring, and has won multiple awards for innovation & design. Each ring comes with a lifetime warranty and sizing.

With our custom, special order, gents wedding band collection, all you have to do is use your imagination! Check out the large collection of samples in our cases, as well as the samples we’ve placed on the website. From grooved bands to flat designs, from high polish to hammered finishes, from engraving to fingerprints, the sky’s the limit!

Upgrade Your Earring Stacks

jointventurejewelry — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 21:03:34 +0000

Multiple ear piercings - the newest trend that’s not just for teens and 20-somethings! Piercers are seeing an increase in 30- and 40-something women coming to them for multiple piercings at a time. Piercings have become more socially acceptable than tattoos because they’re still rebellious, but not too much. Unlike a tattoo, you can change your earrings to match your mood - bonus!

Knowing Joint Venture Jewelry customers would want to elevate their earring party, we put together some looks from our cases! The key to pulling off a successful multiple earring look is to have a theme tying the earrings together. Whether you’re a designer girl, have vintage style, or are contemporary chic, we’ve got a look for you!

There are different names for piercings in different parts of the ear. Check out the ear piercing map above to see them! One of our two ear models has two helix piercings in one ear, which are included in some looks, while in her other ear she has a daith piercing. She never changes that particular earring, so in some of the pictures you'll see a rose gold tone ring in the middle of her ear. This ring is the only piece of jewelry you'll see which DIDN'T come from our store.

Sophisticated Color

The Tools:

Blue sapphires always display a subtle vibrancy and sophistication, which is why they bring to mind Pantone’s Riverside - one of the biggest colors for Fall 2016! In this look we also used a Kenda Kist bar stud from Peachy Keen, a beautiful, minimalist piece that doesn't distract from the main attractions, while still complementing the overall aesthetic!

Glitz & Glam

The Tools:

For a WOW look while out on the town, an ear climber (a huge jewelry trend) matched with a spectacular inside-out hoop can’t be beat! Our favorite thing about this look? A big hoop can be worn in a second piercing! Get creative with your earring placement!

Designer Girl

The Tools:

Loving the designer look doesn’t mean you can’t get in on the multiple piercing trend! We love the elegance of this long, Tiffany & Co. drop earring. It’s simple, beautiful, and oh-so-classic!

Contemporary Chic

The Tools:

We love the look of black and colorless diamonds together - so modern! The first piercing in the earlobe has a stud with a jacket, which is yet another big earring trend and so fun to pair with multiple piercings!

Casual Gal

The Tools:

A simple tanzanite stud paired with a matching drop looks great at work or with jeans and a t-shirt! It's a no-fuss look that anyone can wear.

Vintage Style

The Tools:

Vintage jewelry is a style all it’s own. There’s nothing like the sparkle of old mine cut diamonds, or the drama of this red stone drop earring!

When it comes to multiple piercings, your earring options are endless and ever-changing. Come play in our cases and see what strikes your fancy!
