Started by designers Amy Glaswand and Catherine Marion, CG arte is a delightful line of pendant necklaces and bracelets. One of the designers is a close family friend and after running into her at a Bar Mitzvah recently I was made aware of the heirloom-quality line. The charms retail for between $1,500 and $1,900, while the larger pendants go for between $1,980 and $2,300. The pendants come on a thick ($2,300 for the necklace; $1,200 for the bracelet) or thin ($920) chain. I love the stick motif and the leaf with the small touches of diamonds down the center. The line is build-able, so you can start off with one charm and keep adding every time an occasion calls for it - such a great way to keep memories close to your heart with a piece you can wear everyday!

The line is currently stocked at four boutiques, but you can email the designers at info@cgarte for more information.

For the Bag Snob, this lock would the ultimate accessory for your ultimate accessory. Don't be caught using the generic lock your precious bag comes with, you must adorn it with your own silver and 24K gold lock with green (.76 carats), brown (.15 carats) and white (.84 carats) diamonds. But get this for its versatility, put it on a long chain as a pendant which is this seasons big look (bold pendants). Alright fine, this is strictly a novelty piece but you have to admit it is pretty amazing! At Browns Fashion for $10,427.

The Olsen twins are a big fans of this line (rings and cuff pictured above)

Hoorsenbuhs is responsible for some of the most beautiful rings and cuffs I've seen hit the red carpet in a long while. Individually the pieces are nice, but stacked and layered they're even better (sometimes more really is more!). While you can buy their signature Tri-Link rings, bracelets, and earrings at high-end retailers like Barneys New York, about half the business the line -- designed and owned by Robert Keith -- does is via their bespoke business. Male and female celebs like Rosario Dawson, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Rihanna, Dave Navarro, Snoop Dogg, and many others have worn Keith's designs. I'm completely lusting for the Phantom ring and cuff  (pictured above and below), covered in diamonds - total swoon!

Call 888.692.2997 or email kether@hoorsenbuhs.com if you're interested in a bespoke piece.

French brand Etername is launching in the US this fall! If you read foreign glossies, you've likely seen the brand in French Vogue, Elle, L'Officiel, Stiletto, and Le Figaro or oogled the pieces on the likes of Sharon Stone, Diane Kruger, Julie Gayet, and Natalia Vodianova. The line, designed by Sarah Besnaiou (a Dior alum) is simply stunning! The only other place I've seen so many pieces that I'm dying for is at Cartier! Check-out her website (note though that it's still all in French), and start making a mental list of what you'll want come fall:)

Much like statement necklaces, I am thrilled to see that chandelier earrings are also here for the long-haul. When they're as intricate and well-adorned as these Jose & Maria Barerra White Chandelier Earrings, they lend so much dimension to a look - and can serve as the sole accessory of what would otherwise be a dull outfit. With 24k gold plating and delicate Austrian crystals and seed beads, these earrings are a great bet for $340.

Ginger McGann's Rhonda Necklace

Ginger McGann recently launched her couture jewelry collection at Live! on Sunset in Los Angeles, where I proceeded to drool over many of the pieces, including the Rhonda and Daniela necklaces. The Rhonda necklace, which retails for $840, features 18k gold vermeil, sterling silver and Mojave green turquoise, which I had never seen before. As the name indicates, while it is a form of turquoise, it is actually green as opposed to blue.

Ginger McGann's Daniela Necklace

The Daniela necklace features a powerful combination of carnelians, rubies, fire opals and pink quartz, and is, without question, a show-stopping statement piece, which can be yours for $18,900.

Ginger McGann, a former architect, interior designer and fashion designer, (who was responsible for creating the famous black lace dress Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman), has turned her sights to creating an extensive line of stunning couture jewels. More can be seen online where you can also see McGann's modern art series.
