Double the Trouble with the Sergio Gutierrez Liquid Metal Collection

Posted on April 30, 2013 by Eura Yuste

Inspired by his passion for engineering, Colombian-born jewelry designer Sergio Gutierrez made a breakthrough with his continuous innovation of the metal mesh as a fashion accessory. He utilizes computer circuitry into his designs to make them stand out. Merging modern technology with vintage style made him very popular with celebrities like Betsey Johnson, Tyra Banks, and Sarah Michelle Gellar to name a few.

The Liquid Metal Collection, or more popularly known as Liquid Silver, resembles chain mail-like bracelets that wraps around a woman’s wrist like a cuff. They come in various designs for every personality, style, purpose, or occasion.

A piece from the Classic Collection, the Liquid Butterfly, exudes all things feminine and fun. Its feather-like weight makes it easier for us ladies to make use of our hands while we flaunt this gorgeous piece wherever we may be. Worn day or night, this bracelet will surely catch anyone’s eye. It can be paired with just about anything too!

If you’re craving for something more bold, daring, and extra flirty, then you’re in for another treat. Or should I say trouble? Roxy’s Trouble from the Liquid Roots collection is just the piece for you! It comes with a cluster of Swarovski crystals at its center for that extra sparkle. The perfect cherry on top! But even with all that glitz and glamour, Roxy’s Trouble is still as lightweight as ever! It flairs on your wrist with just the right amount of sexiness.

Both pieces are undeniably gorgeous and classy. It’s so hard to choose between the two of them. But, why choose when you can have them both? Double sexiness. Twice the fun.

Both are available in Shop Envious Gems for your pleasure and convenience. Click on this link to be redirected.

A Look Back at 2011 Fashions and Celebrity Trendy Jewelry

Posted on December 31, 2011 by Allison Edrington

2011 was a raucous year for fashion. Starting out with a minimum amount of color and flair, that quickly transformed into loud prints and bright colors. The rising tide of impressively courageous prints was also unexpected, at least on my part. The familiar taste of the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s were all present this year in some form.

But I’m especially glad the minimalist look isn’t really practical for a long period of time — it suppresses so much! If you’d really like to reminisce about the stampede of fashions that took on 2011, Vogue has a fabulous slide show up with their top 12 that nicely summarizes the year.

Celebrity Trendy Black And Blue Enameled Tribal Necklace

One of the celebrity trendy fashions that struck this year was a resurgence of tribal jewelry and styles — even down to the hair styles and sandals! Envious Gems also got in on that action, with tribal necklaces and a few that were paired with tribal style earrings.

The simple, geometric designs on this tribal jewelry can add a little spice to a neutral outfit.

If you’ve been keeping up with this blog, you’ll know that I’ve been crazy for the bold and clashing colors that have been paired together to create quite the new look. Whether you consider it a throwback to the beginnings of modern designs or just a break from the minimalist style that briefly reigned, the bright patterns and tones really brightened up the year.

Check out the whole Vogue slide show to reminisce about what 2011 brought us. Our celebrity trendy jewelry has perfected plenty of outfits throughout this year and we look forward to finding new styles so you can easily keep up with trends.

Personalize Your Wardrobe with Trendy Jewelry Charms

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Allison Edrington

Everyone crafts their own style, ripping some fashions right from the headlines and mixing them with personal flavors and favorites — one perfect way to do this is using trendy jewelry charms that are perfect for your wardrobe and match your unique combination of characteristics.

Jewelry Charm -- Silver tone "A"

Letter charms are a classic amongst jewelry fans for personalization. For a simple look, spell out your initials or even just your first initial on a bracelet or necklace. You can spell out your whole first name or last name, but I wouldn’t recommend it for those with very long names (which includes me, too) as having that many charms may become cumbersome.

If you like, spell out a word that describes you best or that you associate with yourself, such as sexy, cute, sassy, love, peace or awesome.

Breast Cancer Awareness Jewelry Symbol Charm

But if you don’t feel like spelling something out in charm form, we also have symbol charms with either pictures or short words that are in the same style as the letter charms. Peace, love, believe and BFF are all available, plus a breast cancer awareness charm.

For more symbols and small pictures, our more colorful two-tone charms are available — my favorites of the ones currently in stock are the fleur de lis charm and the cupcake charm. While the fleur de lis could go with anything you wear, the cupcake charm is playful and would be perfect for a light-hearted woman or a sweet little girl.

Personalizing your wardrobe is essential to standing out — you are not just another person on the street. Mix and match our symbol, two-tone and letter charms for a unique look that will be all your own. And at Envious Gems, we offer these at nearly wholesale prices so you can pick up a few without worrying about buyer’s remorse.

A Short Guide to Mixing and Matching Bright Colors

Posted on October 30, 2011 by Allison Edrington

Fashion seasons lately seems to mean anything goes, but that really is not the case. While bright and bold colors seem to be matched together at random, but there is some rhyme and reason to the matches that are made.

Bold colors can only go together when they are very similar or very different. Blue and yellow are a popular combo as those colors tend to stand out in a crowd — the contrast is extremely eye catching (and is also why you see it as a business logo for companies such as Best Buy). While these two shades may not always go together, the bright and bold future of fashion for 2012 has these colors and more all over.

The problem with somewhat similar colors is the scheme will look unintentional. If the shades are not close, you may end up with a pale green shirt and a slightly paler green jacket, which is instantly noticeable.

And of course, certain color matches are only appropriate for certain times of year. You will never see a fashionista wearing red and green or red and gold when it is not December, although red and brown are perfect for all year round.

If you need a little color to add some contrast to your wardrobe, Envious Gems has quite a selection of colorful trendy rings, leather bracelets for women, fashionable earrings and celebrity style necklaces, all at practically wholesale prices.

My favorite additions to our store so far have been our feather jewelry collection. The style these feathers create are best with other earthy tones, such as brown, beige or red. With the right ensemble, you may be able to pull this off with other colors as well, but I’ve enjoyed matching it with my brown blouses and heels.

Brown may not be the highlight of the season, but it is a classic standby.

Affordable Trendy Jewelry for Your Favorite Leather Skirts

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Allison Edrington

Teens and women are putting that edge back in their wardrobe this fall with leather skirts, be they pleated or pencil, and Envious Gems has a selection of affordable trendy jewelry to perfectly accent leather tones. While skirts in leather are often monotone in color, a few choice pieces of jewelry will make all the difference to your ensemble selections.

Affordable Trendy Jewelry to Match Latest Skirt Fashion

The blogger trend on Teen Vogue this month showed a number of fashion bloggers donning their favorite leather skirts up and down the streets, often accompanied by a few layered bracelets on one arm. Bulky layered bracelets have also shown up in Vogue and Cosmopolitan the last few months, both on celebrities and everyday people alike.

Because leather skirts are a simple yet classic look, nearly any kind of jewelry and blouse can be matched with it. At Envious Gems, we have a number of excellent options for affordable trendy jewelry so you can stack your layered bracelets without breaking the bank.

Leather Bracelets to Go With Your Leather Skirt

Celebrity Trendy Leather Wrap Bracelet

Our large selection of leather bracelets gives you a wide range of possibilities and you are likely to find one or more that will go perfectly with your leather skirt. Our leather wrap bracelets, such as this one with small rhinestones, give your arm that layered look with just one bracelet. We have them in brown, black, beige or white so you are likely to easily find the right one.

Celebrity Trendy Hip Rhinestone Leather Bracelet

If bling is more your thing, our hip rhinestone leather bracelet will add that rocker-chic to your outfit. The sparkling rhinestones and baubles on this bracelet make it a stand out piece perfect for any black skirt, especially your leather ones.

To bring back the ’80s rock look, we also have a snake skin leather bracelet that brings to mind hair metal and bright colors.

Trendy Chunky Rings at Reasonable Prices

Posted on October 19, 2011 by Allison Edrington

Bigger is better this year and chunky rings are your perfect gateway into this fashion trend. Large rings have been seen across the pages of many a fashion magazine this season and, really, it makes sense. Why have a tiny ring when no one is going to notice it?

Boldly-sized rings have graced the pages of Vogue with selections from The Social Shopper section in the October issue. Most of these rings are out of the price range of most folks at $1,000 and up, but at Envious Gems, we offer a selection of chunky rings that will add a splash of vivid color to your hands and help bring your outfits together for a fraction of that price.

Celebrity Trendy Big Nugget Ring at Envious Gems

Big Nugget Ring in gray and gold tones

We recently stocked up on chunky rings, including a selection of large nugget rings like this one with a matte gold-tone finish, a gray ridged surface and a few crystal stones placed in the ring’s face. Considered a statement piece, we sell this ring at practically wholesale price for $15 (we even have matching dangling druzy earrings for this ring in stock).

If you aren’t a fan of square jewelry, we also offer nugget rings with round faces in both gray and gold colored centers.

Big Nugget Stretch Ring

In the City Sleek edition of The Social Shopper in Vogue, many woman were also finding elegance using simple solid tones for a timeless look that doesn’t need to match each season’s whims. If you are crafting such a look for yourself, our chunky ring with a big crystal center and a classic Yurman look will fit right in with your concept.

For the ultimate chunky ring, we also have a wide selection of knuckle rings available that offer colored crystals set in – one of our latest in that category is this silver toned ring with three large blue crystals.

Most of our offerings are stretch rings, so you don’t have to worry about whether they will fit your fingers.

Bright Meets Tribal Jewelry This Year

Posted on October 12, 2011 by Allison Edrington

Two surprises hit the fashion world this year with the outbreak of tribal jewelry and prints from around the world. Animal stripes, oriental fashions and Native American-inspired styles have been seen up and down the runways and on the street.

For fashion overall this year, bright colors impacted nearly all style types and that holds true for tribal attire. Vivid colors and bold patterns are what to keep you eye on when you shop — how else could zebra print make it to the runway? A colorful piece such as the black and blue Enamel Tribal Necklace with matching earrings can bring a little tribal feel to your wardrobe.

The bold geometric shapes of that necklace and a few others in stock at Envious Gems really fit with in with the vibrant geometric shapes that have also cropped us this year. Check out this dress at Teen Vogue — it’s nearly an optical illusion! The diamond-shaped Enamel Tribal Necklace in red and black will draw attention.

While clashing patterns are seen on the runway, keep the materials in your ensemble at least all to a theme. Matching your African-style clothing to similar pattern types — a kimono does not mix well with tiger stripes, so keep these two popular styles separate.

If tribal jewelry isn’t really your style, oriental jewelry has also been seen amongst trendsetters. With the way the fashion world has been turning, you should know already that even oriental styles are vibrant. Add a little to your outfit with the colorful Protection Muse Health Necklace. The necklace sports a Chinese coin and beads made of black onyx and rose quartz that brings authenticity.

When looking for a shopping spot for affordable, high quality and trendy jewelry, Envious Gems should be the first on your list. We offer nearly wholesale prices for fashionable jewelry so you don’t have to break the bank to dress with confidence.

Knuckle Rings Right For You — Don’t Let Your Fingers Run Bare

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Allison Edrington

Fashion has begun to follow the Texan mantra: Bigger is better. While understated styles had their time in the sun and are still appropriate for some highly formal attire, jewelry fashion has only increased in size. What better place to rekindle your love of all things large with one or two choice rings from Envious Gems? With just one of these rings, your hands will make a gorgeous and confident fashion statement.

Follow the Color Trends with Knuckle Rings

Crystal Knuckle Stretch Ring with copper plating and three set crystals

Celebrity Trendy Crystal Knuckle Stretch Ring

Plastered all across Cosmo and Vogue magazines this season are bright colors in jewelry, casual wear and some formal wear. Whatever the cause of this color renaissance, some fashionable colorful jewelry will help you rock the colors already in your closet. The Crystal Knuckle Stretch Ring has two large crystals of smoky topaz and one of garnet rhinestone with the rest of the ring covered in copper plating. This large piece will look perfect on your hand and is almost sure to fit with the stretchy cable back.

If you want to slowly make the jump into adding colors to your ensemble, the knuckle rings also come with cooler crystal colors and either gold plating or with a black silver finish.

Large Vintage Rings are Back!

Celebrity Trendy Fleur de Lis Crystal Stretch Ring

Even if the jewelry handed down from your grandmother isn’t quite what you are looking for, there are plenty of options for buying a new, high quality ring with that old world feel. Highly decorated rings like the Fleur de Lis Crystal Stretch Ring are reminscent of the Victorian era, when additional details worked into homes, clothes and jewelry were expected. The multiple clear rhinestone crystals on this ring form a Fleur de Lis design that will look elegant with your formal attire (especially that little black dress). For a slightly edgier pattern on your ring, the Filigree design on this knuckle ring may be what you are looking for to complete that outfit.

Celebrity Trendy Big Crystal Stretch Ring

Not all vintage rings are so huge though – if knuckle rings aren’t your thing, Envious Gems has a Big Crystal Stretch Ring with a sizable, Bezel-set crystal stone that stands out without going over your knuckle. The ring has a stretchable back and a matte gold tone finish, which is perfect as gold has made its very own comeback in recent years (move over, silver!).

Envious Gems strives to offer you celebrity trendy jewelry at nearly wholesale prices, including rings, bracelets and a variety of other fashion pieces.

Finding Simplicity and Class in Fashion – Leather Bracelets

Posted on September 30, 2011 by Allison Edrington

Perhaps you’ve never seen yourself as the biker babe in leather jackets and chaps, but don’t underestimate the power of a little leather added to your wardrobe. A perfect example is the wide range of leather bracelets available at Envious Gems.

Who Wears Leather Bracelets and Why

These fashionable jewelry pieces certainly seem to have a celebrity following. From Jennifer Lopez to Miley Cyrus to Nicole Richie, celebrity leather bracelets have been spotted everywhere as these famous folk walk around town in stylish casual wear or head to their favorite shops with friends. Many of the armlets worn by the stars are simple pieces in one color that nicely accent their ensemble.

Celebrity Trendy Buckle Leather Wrap Bracelet

Those celeb armlets are much like the Buckle Leather Wrap Bracelets from Envious Gems that come in black, white and beige with a gold-toned turn buckle closure so you can easily buckle it on or unbuckle it to take it off. The simple stitching and high quality leather of these wristlets will contribute to whatever outfit you decide to have it accompany and will never look gaudy.

Stacking Bracelets: A Reappearing Trend

Why have just one when you can have more? Leather bracelets are perfect

for stacking up your arm to create a layered effect. Trendy armlets are being made currently for just that with colorful bracelets joining in, but leather armlets add that extra bit of class that beads and bangles just can’t. Mix up your stacked bracelets even more by combining the thinner buckle bracelets with a Wide Leather Bracelet that has large stud closures and comes in speckled gray, black, beige or blue.

Leather Jewelry With Some Color

Chic Soft Leather Bracelet in White

If you are hoping for a little more color for your stacked bracelet look, the Chic Soft Leather Bracelet provides. These trendy bracelets are made with soft pebbled leather – in beige, white or black — and have gold tone rings and studs and colored crystal stones.

While all of these bracelets will come at a high price tag in retail stores, picking them up from Envious Gems gets you the same high quality products at often half the retail price.
