Silver Jewellery Worth Imitating
Posted by: silverjewelryblog on: June 10, 2010
There isn’t a starlet alive who doesn’t cover herself with spangles and sparkles of one type or another. After all, aren’t stars meant to twinkle? Well, you, too can sparkle like a twinkling star without spending a month’s salary every time you want to update your jewellery collection.
Simply, where stars wear white gold or platinum – substitute silver jewellery. Penelope Cruz, Sandra Bullock, and Tina Fey have all been seen recently wearing earrings dripping diamonds. You can achieve their look by substituting shimmering white zircon gemstones or Swarovski crystals encased in the silver jewellery setting of your choice – whether silver drop or silver post earrings.
Sigourney Weaver adorned her off-the-shoulder red dress with a lovely, sparkling brooch, affixed toga-style. To imitate her, waltz into your favourite silver jewellery purveyor, and choose a silver brooch with gemstones that will complement the colour of your dress.
If you’re a fan of vintage jewellery, like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, you can find much vintage silver jewellery abroad in second-hand shops. Vintage-inspired jewellery is also available – much of it silver jewellery with bevelled gems, for example – in almost every city. The Olsen twins have also been seen making interesting pairings, of weather-beaten leather with silver… and even if your grandfather didn’t leave you his Rolex, you can match a trusty silver Timex wristwatch with silver bracelets of every size and shape.
At the recent Oscars, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, Miley Cyrus, Sarah Jessica Parker and Amanda Seyfried, among others, were all spotted wearing platinum and diamonds – a winning combination if ever there was one. We like it, in particular, because it’s really easy to imitate: silver jewellery with white zircon will give you the exact same stunning effect, at less than half the price.
If it’s necklaces you like, fancy yourself in a silver jewellery version of Natalie Portman’s bevelled diamond stunner. If it’s rings you prefer, look at the gorgeous butterfly ring that Mariah Carey has been seen wearing. Simple silver jewellery alternatives are easy to find. Of course, no one wants to copy the SCRAM bracelet that Lindsay Lohan has been forced to wear since her last alcohol-related arrest. On the other hand, it’s not beyond fathoming that a spunky silver jewellery alternative – a little silver anklet, for example – might be fashioned by an enterprising entrepreneur.
Last but not least, if you want the cachet of celebrity jewellery but don’t have the cash, look to any of the many gold and silver jewellery collections started by celebrities themselves. Cindy Crawford, the Kardashian sisters and Tori Spelling are among those who have launched their own lines. They want to be emulated as much as we want to emulate them, and they know enough to build their collections around affordable, high-quality Sterling silver jewellery. But when choosing a celebrity gold and silver jewellery collection, exercise caution: Heidi Klum’s collection is so convincingly glam, she’s been sued by Van Cleef & Arpels!
And remember – you, too, deserve to twinkle and shine, and nothing could be simpler, with sparkling silver jewellery!
