Celebrity Jewelry Box: Jessica Simpson

She has a very trendy, bohemian style. She mixes this with much more expensive pieces, such as her classic engagement ring that she sometimes still wears on a chain around her neck.The secret to this is to wear layers of jewelry, the way you layer clothes for this same style. Try wearing 3 or 4 different necklaces, or bracelets. You will need the following items to copy Jessica’s jewelry style: 

5. Bead Necklace. A bead necklace is essential for Jessica’s bohemian style. Layer it with several necklaces of different lengths and styles. This necklace is tiger eye and wood for only $42.99.

  4. Long Gold Necklace. Jessica often wears a chunky, long, gold necklace. She doubles it around her neck so it looks like a choker, and then lets the rest of the necklace hang. This necklace is 72? long, which if my math is right, and it rarely is, is 6? long of solid gold, for only $319.99. It weighs 13.9 grams, which is very impressive for the price considering how gold prices have risen.

  2. Large Gemstone Ring. When Nick and Jessica were still married he gave her a very large emerald as a Christmas present. Most of us can’t afford 30+ carat emeralds. You can either use a costume ring, or try a different gemstone. Jessica seems to prefer yellow gold to match her tan. This ring is a green amethyst, or Prasiolite, in 10kt gold for only $149.99. It is a 12.25 carat Prasiolite, which is an impressive, and hard to find size in any gem. Some costume jewelry is more expensive than that so why not have genuine gold and gemstones.

Unique Engagement Rings: Past, Present, Future

There was a very famous diamond commercial a few years back where a man and woman go into a movie theatre and they are the only ones there. The movie that is playing is the story of their courtship and it is horribly romantic and only makes me mildly nauseated. At the end of the movie he presents her with a three stone engagement ring. Three stone rings have become popular as anniversary presents, but I think they make great wedding bands. A. They represent the past, present and future, hence the coining of the phrase past, present and future, rings. B. You can keep the tradition of the diamond but still have something unique and different. C. I don’t have a third point, but arguments are stronger with a third point so there you go. D. You get a larger presentation for your money, so you can have 3 medium sized stones instead of paying for a much more expensive single stone. For instance, the first ring has a retail value of $1304 and is marked down to $454.99. The second ring  is only $289 marked down from $750. The third ring is a full carat of diamonds for only $1249 with a retail value of $2190.00. Consider a past, present, future ring for a unique engagement ring. It seemed to work well for the guy in the commercial, and if you see it on tv, it must be real.

Unique Engagement Ring: The Band

Maybe you are sick of hearing me extol the virtues of non – diamond engagement rings every week. Maybe you already have a traditional diamond engagement ring, and it seems rude to ask your husband for another one. Or you just like diamonds. You’d be amazed at how a wedding band with a different gemstone will transform your ring. (psst…husbands this is a great idea for an anniversary present). Try a band with your birthstone, your husband’s birthstone, or your favorite color. It’s a sure fire way to get people grabbing your hand and acting excited over your wedding set again.
