I was not a John Hardy fan until I discovered how its jewels are made. John and Cynthia Hardy believe passionately in a concept of luxury that extends to the people involved in the process of making their beautiful jewelry. “When you invest in something that might be passed on to your children and grandchildren, it’s nice to know that it was made by someone who learned his craft from his father and grandfather,” says John. Their workshop is built literally out of the earth of Bali. The place is a complex of rustic buildings whose walls are made of woven bamboo and mud plaster and whose floors are of soft local stone. “You don’t turn rice fields into a factory without leaving a way to convert them back again,” says John Hardy, now fifty-three, who has lived in Bali for nearly thirty years. “You’re not going to be on earth forever. So if someday the Balinese want to turn this factory back into rice fields, they could do it in about a week. There’s no concrete here.” The jewelry workshop is also a small organic farm, and the food is grown to feed the people who work there. The food supply is augmented by rice fields and organic gardens in another part of Bali, owned by a company that John helped start.

If you are looking for a gift with a little bling but do not have a 7 figure income to indulge at Harry Winston, this could be the gift for you. At $595 you get a lot of style and Balinese craftsmanship. John Hardy Kawung Diamond/Silver Necklace at Saks

A few weeks ago I had the honor of escorting one of my dear friends, Kate Hall, to an event entitled "Girl's Night Out". Now Kate is not only absolutely fabu, (as my mother would say) but she also is an intern at Stanly Korshak, Pink Memo, and D Magazine. So when she asked me if I would be so kind as to be her date to an event with an open bar, I of course said yes. Normally, Kate and I go to parties for the Fashionistas or to fantastic cocktail parties at LFT together so I was really excited and dressed to impress. Boy was I out of luck. This was honestly one of the most bizzare experiences of my life (which is saying a lot since I'm from Alabama). The event was held in a warehouse on the fairgrounds and there were women from out of the wood-work there guzzling down cheap liquor. Kate and I could hardly keep our jaws from dropping. We sucked it up and decided to at least get our free gift bag and a drink while we toured the cheap collection of fake handbags and sparkle mess. Suddenly, as we were about to leave, we caught glimpse of these beautiful pieces of jewelry from Ayazakura spiritual jewelry. The gold was so intricately wrapped around each exotic stone. Some pieces were very delicate with huge stones and others were interwoven with fantastic brightly colored stones and very modern. This booth was a rare find for me that night and well worth the experience. Ayazakura spiritual jewerly, prices range from $25 to $200.

I love these cute little earrings from Alexis Bittar, made of simple Lucite dew drop earrings that are hand-carved and painted, it's a cheap thrill that is also tres chic! These will also make great little stocking stuffers for my book club girlfriends. Lucite made a huge comeback last season and is continuing strong through next Spring so you'll be able to wear this through the holiday season and beyond! Alexis Bittar 18K Lucite Drop Earrings $75 at Saks.

The bold necklace is tres important for Fall, if you can only buy one piece of jewelry to accessorize with, you must go for a great necklace!

It is also in the season's must have silhouette, long and chunky (54")! Rock it with a simple tank dress at night and you'll be ready to party or double it up during the day with a white t-shirt for a bit of color and drama.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Long Glass Heart Necklace is available for $148 here

Okay frugal Jewel Snobs, check out these fabulous earrings by Mawi! At first glance they resemble rubies surrounded by antique seed pearls with diamond leaves. At second glance they still resemble the real thing! I love the antique setting, perfect for my friend who is afraid to buy old jewelry for fear the previous owners' energy is still attached to it. (I am a fiend for antique jewelry but I always spray it with alcohol and lavender to clean the energy off. I then ask the piece for permission of ownership. Although true Jewel Snobs know that you never really own your jewelry, it owns you!) Anyway, this piece is perfect for the girl who wants nice jewelry but can not afford her own yet or found a man who can. The bloody red quartz is the splash of color you need to liven up a little black dress or dress up a pair of jeans. The best part is the price, $216! Purchase Mawi Quartz drop earrings here.
