When I saw Paige Gamble's headbands 2 years ago, I immediately thought, Blair on Gossip Girl! So when I met Paige, I told her she should try to get her designs on Gossip Girl and guess what? Sure enough, she is now a staple in the show's wardrobe, including her amazing clutches!

This Aura Quartz headband is like no other, it is a piece of art on your head. We all want to wear a tiara around but the humiliation of being laughed at would probably ruin the fun. However, wearing a bejeweled headband is perfectly acceptable and you will still feel like a Princess! At Paige Gamble for $450.

I love Kate Hudson's style, it is easy, chic and full of personality. To me jewelry is all about personal choices, whether it is sentimental or expressing your style. Brazilian jeweler Jack Vartanian has distinct pieces that really define personal style and Kate Hudson clearly agrees. She wore the gold cuff with black quartz during the day at a press conference at the Waldorf Astoria and showed up that night in the white gold fringe necklace and the aqua marine ring to the screening of "Nine" at Lincoln Square Center. The cuff, necklace and ring are all available at the Jack Vartanian boutique at 996 Madison Avenue, New York, NY.

Fabulous at all price points, the beauty of Darby Scott is the ability to switch things up. This faux Golden Amber Bib Necklace is bold and fabulous with a price point that is amazing. You get maximum impact on a minimal budget. Get the shorter choaker at 28" or for the full bib look, get the 34", both are $450. Of course, there is the Smoky Quartz Mélange Ring that has twelve faceted stones for blingy fabulousness with the smoky quartz and three blue iolite stones encircle this 18K gold ring. Not as friendly on the wallet but this is an investment piece that will get long term wear, $2,950.

Sometimes a statement ring is all you need. Stephen Dweck is known for bold - quality definitely beats quantity when it comes it jewelry, so always go bold! The green vessonite, orange chalcedony and cognac quartz in a cluster setting has the wow factor that expensive bling have but you won't need to decide between this or a down payment on a new house. This is smart shopping, girls! Bling for the buck! Stephen Dweck at Saks Fifth Avenue for $870.

Carol Brodie is no stranger to the finest of fine jewelry. As a luxury and style expert, she has personally held many of the world's most fabled gems, including the Hope Diamond, the Dresden Green and the Pumpkin Diamond. She has selected the jewels worn by countless A-list celebrities on the red carpet, while working side-by-side with famed designer Harry Winston. With her resume, it's no wonder that she has taken to design herself, though it is a wonder why it took her so long.

After 20 years of honing her eye for luxury, style and elegance, Brodie has created a signature collection of fine jewelry exclusively for HSN. Inspired by many of the memorable faces Brodie has worked with over the years, including Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johansson, Kate Hudson, Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Halle Berry, the Rarities Collection was created to serve as "accessible luxury" for those of us that aren't A-listers, with price points that won't break the bank, ranging from around $200 to $800.

The Bellaire Collection pictured here is just one facet of the Rarities launch, which will take place on June 21st on the Home Shopping Network. I am partial to the lilac quartz and diamond drop earrings in rose gold vermeil. Rose gold is fun because it's unexpected and the lilac quartz sets it off beautifully. The ring features white quartzite and diamonds, also set in rose gold vermeil.

I will look forward to seeing what Carol Brodie does next!
