Put a Little Spring in Your Step!

The moment we've been waiting five long, dark, dreary months to say… Spring has officially Sprung! The sun is shining through our windows, it’s practically daylight on our post-work walk home, and we're rushing to trade in our boots for flats, pants for maxis and puffer coats for cropped trendy jackets! Okay, maybe we are getting a little ahead of ourselves and the moment we step foot outside and into the cold 30 degree tundra that’s refusing to vanish, we re-evaluate changing out our wardrobes completely. But technically the first day of Spring has come and even though the weather isn't quite cooperating, it doesn't mean we can’t start to spruce up our garbs, get that spring cleaning under way and slowly but surely tip-toe into the new season! And hey, that extra hour or two of daylight shouldn't go to waste!

With Spring comes all new things, including some of the coolest new stores to sell Ben-Amun! We love that they are super on point and reading our minds about re-vamping styles and accessorizing for Spring! With the help of Ben-Amun and these retailers you'll be in that Spring state of mind in no time and prepared for the many occasions bound to come about with this fantastic season!

Intermix

We can't stop obsessing over this daring, on-trend striped ensemble! We love that the peplum goes so well with the striped bandage skirt and it's a look we can't wait to try when the weather warms up! It's the perfect work to happy hour get-up that will leave everyone in awe. The Ben-Amun Striped Gunmetal Cuff perfectly compliments the bold look and gives it that extra "wow-factor." Even though you might not be able to show off your stems in a pencil skirt quite yet, throw on some tights and a blazer and you are weather approved, all while warming your look up and being a step ahead on the trends!

Couture Candy

Couture Candy is a one stop online shop for all of the latest designer apparel!  They are consistently on trend and constantly updating their selection to bring you the most recent merchandise all at the convenience of your computer! Shopping from the comfort of your couch and PJ'S? Sign me up! This Ben-Amun Portofino Gold Long Pendant and Tassel Necklace is the perfect necklace to throw on and lighten up your look for the new season! Once mother nature wakes up to the realization that it's actually spring, this would look fabulous with a fun maxi or a brightly colored midi skirt! Our minds are already spinning at the thought of what to wear this with. For now pairing it with a cheerful blouse and some cuffed jeans, you are not only weather ready but stylish as well!

Everything But Water

I mean... the name says it all!  We have been dreaming about digging out our swimsuits from the back of our closets, purchasing the hottest new beach cover-ups and escaping the city for a little beach va-cay!  Everything But Water is the perfect place to start!  Suits, frocks and accessories galore! As much as we would love to be sun-kissed poolside, we're going to start by brightening up our looks for spring! This Ben-Amun Opulent Cluster Necklace is the perfect way to start, all while being on trend with the pastels we have seen so much of on the runways for the upcoming season! Even if you are currently still in the winter wardrobe slump, throw on this necklace and a happier mood is sure to ensue!

Shopbop

When wanting to be in the know and have the latest looks, Shopbop is the perfect destination!  Not only do they carry the most sought after brands, but currently their homepage has multiple slides with the most sought after designers' Spring looks! Could it get any easier?! Another helpful tip that will have you diving into Spring spending in no time is knowing that Pantone's 2013 color of the year is GREEN! This color has been seen everywhere as of late and it's the perfect color to ease you into the new season! These Ben-Amun Chandelier Earrings are a great start! They are the perfect earrings that can easily be dressed up or down, with the right creamy shade leaving you a step ahead of the trends! These will undoubtedly leave your friends green with envy! 

BHLDN

If there's one thing we have learned over the years about this upcoming season is that it's more than just lovely weather with the trees and flowers blossoming, it's also wedding season! Whether you are a bridesmaid, Maid of Honor, an attendee or the beautiful bride herself, these next few months are prime wedding time! With that being said, it's never too early to be prepared for a wedding or get things crossed off that checklist by having your accessories ready! As the bride, it's your day to shine and to look and feel your absolute best! What better way to make that happen by adding a touch of glam and sparkle with these classic Candela Earrings, Luna Bracelet, and Cristallino Earrings - all pieces you can wear on their own or as a set mixed and matched, long after the special day.

No matter what your style, we hope we have you covered (or at the very least your ears, neck and wrist!) and ready for a sunny transition.  Happy Spring stylistas!  

A New Place to Call Home

"It came true!" Not unlike one of America's top starlets some so recently have come to love (or love to hate if you will, we are pleading the fifth), Isaac's dream does not involve a shiny gold statue but rather a shiny gold BA logo above cases filled with gold (and silver, and resin, and crystal, pearl, you get the picture) in his very own store that sells nothing but Ben-Amun jewelry!! Seeing all of these baubles beautifully displayed and his name up in lights, all within a modern day brick-and-mortar is something a designer could only wish for. Until now that is...

As some of you may know, it just so happens that Isaac and Regina are the King and Queen of making friends in the most unconventional places and long story short, a friend of a friend (of a friend) has helped lead the way to the exciting news we've been dying to share with you all....

The opening of our VERY first freestanding store worldwide! The store's location in Chengdu Yanlord Landmark in Southwest China is a great start! After over thirty years of business based in the big apple, Ben-Amun has opened a store in partnership with an exclusive distributor in China. Upon learning about our success in other countries as a luxury jewelry brand, our new friend Anderson Wang, Managing Director of Budy Import & Export Trading Co Ltd. saw the potential for Ben-Amun to do extremely well in the China market with free standing stores in upscale malls. With the help of ours and his team combined, Isaac's dream is now a reality and the result is even more stunning than we could have imagined! Looks like Mom's advice about not talking to strangers isn't so dangerous after all!

Ben-Amun China will sell a mix of current season and classic Ben-Amun jewelry that is 100% handmade in our New York factory, right in the heart of the garment district! We're already big fans of our neighbors DKNY, Stuart Weitzman and Versace so we feel right at home! Stay tuned for more exciting news to come about Ben-Amun's launch into retail stores, here are the very first photos of Ben-Amun in Chengdu!

Oscar Worthy Finds!

Awards season has once again come and gone in the blink of an eye; barely giving us enough time to process all the jaw dropping moments and red carpet star stand-outs from the previous show! We still can't stop obsessing about the gorgeous gowns and jewels some of our favorite celebs were sporting this past Sunday at the Oscars! From the flouncy frocks to the sleek and statuesque gowns, it's hard to pick just one look that we would love to put our own spin on and recreate! So why stop at one?! We loved these gorgeous celebrities head to toe Oscar look and with the help of some fine baubles from Ben-Amun we will be red carpet ready for a weekend of reminiscing and holding onto every last bit of Award Season fever!  

Jennifer Lawrence has certainly stolen America's heart and we would love to steal this amazing Dior Haute Couture number! With such an empowering gown J-Law kept her jewelry simple yet still made a statement and had everyone talking about the dazzling necklace she had draped down her back! These Round Crystal Drop Earrings from Charm & Chain are the perfect earrings to recreate Jennifer's delicate look! Slip into a whimsical gown and you have an ensemble worthy enough of an Oscar winner!

Another celeb favorite was looking sweet as a cupcake at the Oscars! Amy Adams showed off her tiny figure in a beautiful silver-gray Oscar de la Renta gown with a beaded bodice and an overflowing tulle-embellished skirt! She polished off this elegant look with dazzling jewelry and a classy updo. These Ben-Amun Crystal Drop Earrings and Crystal Bracelet are the perfect accessories to have you looking just as sweet and stunning as Amy! 

My last, but certainly not least, favorite look of the star-studded evening was the always elegant and timeless Jennifer Garner! She wore a beautiful, rich plum strapless Gucci gown and an even more amazing and beautiful crystal necklace! Lucky for us, one of Ben-Amun's new collections for Fall has a very similar architectural design, and even more special with a touch of pearls!
