The Coveteur visits designer Merritt Elliott

During lunch breaks in the Ben-Amun office, most of the girls spend their hour catching up with our favorite bloggers.  So, when we saw one of our favorite blogs, The Coveteur, visited Current/Elliott designer Meritt Elliott, we were psyched to see one of our pieces displayed in her fashionable LA home. Merritt Elliott is one of the lovely ladies responsible for putting our jewelry on stars like Emma Roberts, Ashley Tisdale and Mandy Moore.

Among the half-naked Ken and Barbie dolls wrapped in jewelry and the high stacks of boyfriend jeans, we found one of our favorite Ben-Amun bracelets! The green deco bracelet was wrapped around Elliott’s salmon colored lamp with the words, “Ben-Amun. I adore." See above for a pic of Emma Roberts wearing that very bracelet on the red carpet the the 8th annual Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party!
We never expected to break into the house ware business so soon but we are excited to be among Meritt Elliott’s chic decor!

Tassel Jewelry

Tassel jewelry is definitely having its turn in the spotlight right now. Whether they are dangling from your neck or worn as a pair of shoulder-grazing earrings, tassels exude ‘70s glam that is so trendy right now.

This slinky embellishment is already one of the most coveted accessories for summer! Fringe is a trend with staying power and will remain a classic staple in your wardrobe for years, so it is definitely an item worth investing in for summer.

So add a little fringe to your look with these babies. Check out the pics below.

Blush Tones

I am absolutely crazy about blush tones for summer. Maybe it's the breezy nature or feminine quality of this color, but I can't get enough of blush! Fashionista.com must have read my mind because they did a post today on their obsession with the dusty rose color that is taking center stage for summer. However, if you are fair skinned (aka pale) like me, some rose colors can really wash you out. The solution? Give the color a spin with your accessories!

Brazilian Brights Dusty Rose Seed Bead Necklace
This necklace is the perfect addition to a black or white bathing suit for summer. Made of seed beads and fabric, this necklace is super lightweight and fun.
Portofino Necklace with Rose Stone
 I haven't taken this necklace off for days. Literally. The pendant is hammered gold with etched leaves and the embellishments at the bottom have a lot of movement!
Portofino Gold Earrings with Rose Stone
These earrings are really easy to add to almost any outfit. The bright yellow gold and neutral stone give off that '70s summer vibe.
