I have been loving the unique monogram look that has been becoming popular lately. Tons of celebrities from Jennifer aniston to Taylor swift to LC and even Alexis from RHOOC have been seen sporting monograms of their own.
In particular, my favorite way to interpret this trend is the
monogram pendant. This trend includes a large pendant that is attached to a chain. The pendant is detailed with your initials ornately carved.
Upon looking for a company to create this unique and personalized pendant for me, I found a plethora; however, they looked made by an engraving machine and
I wanted something a bit more ornate and authentic. This led me to find
Elygoldart, a craftsman on Etsy- he is an incredibly talented metalsmith who customizes in creating ornately designed monograms. This is my first ever purchase from Etsy, but after reading all of this particular seller's amazing reviews and seeing some photos of his beautiful work, I knew that this is where I had to buy my monogram pendant.
I received my first proof the evening that I purchased my pendant- Ely handdraws each and every proof! My initials are
AMM, but I decided to have my monogram made with my first initial, A, in the middle, surrounded by the two M's which I thought would make it more symmetrical.
I ordered a
1 1/2" silver monogram pendant from Ely with an 18" rope chain. The pendant is solid silver and is
1 1/3 cm thick (so won't be flimsy or bend at all). Ely was so easy to work with and his work has impressed me very much, I may be going back to him again in the future for gifts for friends and family. I am so thrilled with my pendant!
Please let Ely know that Annie sent you to his Etsy store if you end up ordering anything from him. I promise you won't be disappointed- this is a piece of jewelry that you will cherish forever, as it was personally made especially for you!
I adore sequins, sparkles, diamonds, rhinestones, crystals, metallic, and every type of shiny embellishment out there- trust me, I own them all! I have been embracing this trend since I was born, and have been doused in shiny things ever since- I can't help it, I just always gravitate towards extra embellished fun shiny things!
Sequins have been quite a big trend for awhile now, and this Fall they are still in full style; however, the trend has evolved a little bit. This Fall, designers are still showcasing sequins, but they seem to be on the much more muted side- the sequins have a less bright shine, and more of a dull matte appearance.
My first experiment with this new muted sequin trend was with my purchase of this flounce tbd Sequin Jacket (pictured). I purchased this mesh jacket in the silver version because I thought it would fit in with my jewelry and wardrobe best (although I REALLY loved the gold color available as well). The matte sequin color is great because it adds that bit of shine without being obnoxiously too much!
This light 3/4 length sleeve mesh jacket can be dressed up or down depending on how you style it. You can pair it with some dark denim and a black tank for a chic and casual vibe. Personally, I pair this mesh jacket with a simple and plain black dress and flats for a casual look. You can also dress it up by wearing heels or a more fancy dress underneath. I think this jacket is the most perfect accessory!
Verdict= FABULOUS!!!
