Wedding Jewelry

Not only are we in the middle of summer, but we’re also in the midst of wedding season! Whether you’re in the wedding party or wearing a big white dress, Ben-Amun jewelry (of course) has you covered.  Between the earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and brooches in the pearl and crystal collection, you can make a big statement with the jewelry or add some subtle sparkle.  However, even if you’re not in a wedding this summer, these striking pieces are perfect for a formal evening or for dressing up your day look.

Nothing compliments a dress easier then a pair of dangling earrings... 

If you prefer smaller earrings, the Small Crystal Earrings with a Pearl Drop will not overwhelm any dress or outfit. 

If you’re into a bigger drop earring, the Clear Crystal Deco Teardrop Earrings are perfect for that extra sparkle.  These earrings are a flawless statement piece for when you aren't wearing any other big jewelry.

 

Then, there are the Pearl Tassel Earrings, which have the big earring effect without drawing attention away from your other jewelry.  The hanging strands of pearls also make it more traditional.

All the pieces above are found on our website as well as Kleinfelds Bridal.  There are plenty more pearl and crystal jewelry necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and brooches on our website, at Kleinfelds, and at Priscilla of Boston.

P.S. All of us in the office are obsessed with Keeping Up With The Kardashians, so of course, we're counting down the days to see what Kim will wear on her big day.  Since she has long black hair, I think she would look amazing in the Clear Crystal Deco Teardrop Earrings!

Tribal Inspired Jewelry

A trend of jewelry that is popular amongst us in the office is Ben-Amun’s tribal jewelry.  These pieces are hard to miss! Between the giant gold tribal necklace and the spike tribal necklace, you can kick any outfit up a notch (and some are even under $100). 

The Hammered Gold African Statement Necklace is definitely impossible to ignore.  It would go perfectly over any plain, colored shirt.  I love the picture of Joy Bryant wearing it over her red Yves Saint Laurent dress in InStyle.

“… I love the necklace- it has a tribal feel, which mixes things up.” - Joy Bryant in InStyle.

Another piece that editors love is the African Spike Necklace.  Since the necklace is not too big, it can be paired with any outfit and will make your look a little tougher.

The Silver Metal Square Bangle with Tribal Detail is the perfect silver cuff with just the right amount of detail.  It was featured in a wide range of magazines (from wedding magazines to high fashion magazines) which proves that it can be worn with anything!

Maybe you’re on a tight budget? We have a few tribal inspired pieces that are under $100.  The Thin Silver Resin with Tribal Print Bracelets are only $70 for a set of two.  These bracelets have more of a subtle tribal feel to them. So if you’re a little nervous about trying this look, these bracelets are ideal.

And stay tuned for our fall tribal necklaces, many of which are also under $100!!

Beautiful Pieces Under $100

Staying within your budget doesn’t mean skimping on your jewelry purchases! Right now on the Ben –Amun website there are great pieces being sold for under $100. Between the necklaces, earrings, and bangles on the website, revamping your jewelry selection will barely make a dent in your savings! Below I picked some of our favorite, low-priced options that editors and celebrities are also in love with.

All the girls in the office love the Molten Gold collection.  This pair of Molten Gold and Black Drop Earrings are only $80 on our website.  They are the perfect attention-grabbing, but not overpowering, earrings for any outfit.  THIS FRIDAY the Moda Operandi website will be selling a few of the Molten Gold pieces, as well as a ton of our other favorite pieces!

Next up: our famous Enamel Bangles that were featured on the July Vogue cover are also beloved by editors of many other mags. These babies have been featured in Women’s Wear Daily, Cosmo, Seventeen, and on Taylor Swift in InStyle!

Last but not least, these Industria Silver and Gunmetal Pyramid Earrings that have been worn by Kate Moss are on the website for only $95. The clean look of the black and silver has a minimalist feel, but will add a little edge to your outfit with the spike.
