Dare to Accessorize

While reading the Providence Journal this weekend, I came across an interesting article about accessories. You may not have been aware that New York is host to the Accessories Council, an advocacy group dedicated to the celebration of bags, bangles and shoes. Their ACE awards have honored top accessory designers such as Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs. Karen Giberson, their President says "Accessories are adventurous. You can go from looking like a lady to rock-and-roll chic in an hour!"

As designers of "jewelry for your tree", we know just how important the smallest details can be when dressing yourself, or dressing for the holidays. In accessories, Karen says the biggest surprise is Swarovski encrusted USB drives, like the one shown below.

For Christmas, we've mentioned Swarovski as an important element as well as the color purple, which Karen also sees emerging into the mainstream.

For spring, check out our bronze filigree dragonfly with a Swarovski crystal accent and lavender chiffon ribbon. For more spring and gardening keepsakes, click here.
