Today I’m so excited to share Gemvara Jewelry! I love engagement rings that use colored stones versus a regular diamond. Emeralds happen to be one of my favorite stones, how simple and classic are these rings?

Of course, there’s nothing as dramatic as a black engagement ring.

A simple set sapphire in a gold band or sapphire plus diamonds is another colorful and unique option.

Red is such a vibrant color and I think ruby is such and unexpected and fun stone for an engagement ring. I’m particularly loving the one of the left, it has almost a vintage Edwardian feel to it. You can check out more that Gemvara offers right here. Happy jewelry shopping!

I am so in love with Anthropologie’s wedding line, BHLDN (beholden). The dresses are to die for; I’m obsessed with the one on the left. Tea length, scallop hemline, illusion neckline all with a distinct art deco flair? Amazing!

I also love the sweet eyelet dress. Perfect for a beach ceremony or a bohemian wedding. Also, the three dimensional quality of the gray pleated dress is so modern and chic.

Of course, then there are the shoes. The shoes are INSANE. I’m dying for the center shoe, it might need to come home with me like, today.

The clutches are equally as stunning. The art deco inspired one on the left is perfection (can you tell I love anything art deco?).

And from subtle, and sweet, to over the top drama, the head pieces are spot on. To check out more click right here. Happy Shopping!

I’m so in love with these necklace made out tread by Spin Thread.

The colors, the geometric patterns, are just so divine.

Stacked cubes in my current favorite color combo? Yes, please! You can see more from the shop right here.

Shoes + fabulous jewelry? Oh, fo sho! Photo by Mike Larson.

Everyone at Santa Barbara Chic knows I love Tiffany & Co…so much so that I once did a research project on the infamous jewelry company for a college term paper. It’s not wonder, than, that Tiffany’s is the first place I look to find the best in wedding and bridal jewelry. These amazing 18k gold Paloma Picasso heart statement studs are the perfect bridal accessories for the woman looking to exude elegance without all the glitz and sparkle. And, as with any Tiffany’s statement piece, you’ll have numerous opportunities to wear these  earrings again and again for special occasions over the course of your marriage! It’s ironically a perfect match for my favorite heart ring (and first glitzpick post on Santa Barbarara Chic):

These would make a perfect duo (and Tiffany’s…I’m still a size 5 ring)! Get these amazing bridal jewelry pieces, here and here.

I love the simple yet detailed design of this dupioni silk rose bud and glass pearl bracelet from jewelry designer The Mustard Seed Co. It’s both rustic and elegant, not to mention affordable…perfect for the cost conscious bride who has no intention of sacrificing her bridal style just because of her budget! This bracelet would also make an amazing bridesmaid gift. Love! Get yours, here!

I love this Tasha Flower bib necklace from Nordstrom! Most bib necklaces of the season are big and chunky from top to bottom, but this piece fades from a soft statement of fabric/tulle florals and gold/pearl pendants to delicate crystals and chain. Love, Love, Love! Nordstrom has similar styles in similar colors, making this statement necklace part of the perfect bridal party collection. Check it out, here.

I have been known to say that every bride needs a little Tiffany & Co. in her life. But, if you’ve seen the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s, you can perhaps understand why I was so drawn to this classic jeweler for today’s featured Glitzpick, especially as we in the wedding industry are dealing with the craziness of life, called: “busy-season”. And, while this 24k gold bold statement earring set is perhaps a little pricey for some brides, the beauty of these Jean Schlumberg pink spinel and diamond ear clips were just too brilliant and breathtaking and timeless to dismiss. Wouldn’t these make an amazing wedding gift from…say… your husband-to-be? What about that once-in-a-lifetime thank you gift for the often over-looked, mother-of-the-bride? Available here.

I know what you’re thinking-this gorgeous Jose & Maria Barrera necklace is a little more bold in color that what I normally choose in my weekly glitzpick. But…this beaded bib with 24 karot yellow gold plating was just too unique to pass-up, and I couldn’t wait to show it off to every summer bride out there (especially those looking to add a magnificent statement piece to your wedding day attire). Wouldn’t this necklace be a perfect compliment to a Santa Barbara Mediterranean-style wedding? You could even pair this with a long black beach dress, and wear it to dinner on your honeymoon. Ole’! Get yours, here, and don’t forget to visit StellinaStellina later today for my Santa Barbara Chic glitzpick inspired-inspiration board.

For the bride who loves antiques, this Victorian-inspired sea glass “WorryLocket” from GhostShip, an eco-friendly sea glass & artisan jewelry store on Etsy, is the perfect wedding necklace. According to owner & designer Kyra Crilly, sea glass usually comes from old vintage glass medicine jars and spirit bottles tossed overboard by fishermen decades ago. The more common colors are white, amber and green, but sea glass can also be found in rare colors such as blue, lime, yellow, orange and red. This beautifully crafted necklace above was modeled after worry beads from ancient Greece, which were carried around to relieve stress and anxiety (talk about a great thing to have for wedding day!).  The 18″, .925 sterling silver chain with Victorian style clasp is filled with genuine vintage sea glass reclaimed from Canadian shores.
