Jackie O. Kennedy Style
6 October 2006
There is probably no one better known for her jewelry than Jacqueline Kennedy. This first lady exuded such style, class & elegance that
she changed the world forever. How can you look like the Lady of Camelot on a budget?
There are several replica lines of costume versions of her jewelry, but why pay
so much for costume jewelry when you can real metals & genuine gemstones for the
same price.
1. Brooch: When I think of Jackie O. I automatically think of a pin. She always wore
whimsical brooches such as scarecrows or goldfish. So you can finally wear those cute seasonal pins,
just keep them elegant like wearing a gold bow for Christmas instead of a cheap
green enamel Christmas tree pin.
2. Charm bracelet: You can either wear a coin bracelet or a charm bracelet.
For extra elegance keep the bracelet & charms all the same color so it looks
like one cohesive piece instead of something that was collected over the years.
3. Cross. If you are religious show it with an understated cross in an
elegant setting. Jackie had several crosses in her collection.
4. We couldn’t talk about Jackie without pearls. Try a large
white strand of freshwater pearls. The rule with pearls in this case is,
keep them big. So use large pearl earrings, so they make all the statement
you need.
5. Kunzite Ring. It might be one of her lesser known pieces, but John
F. Kennedy gave Jackie a kunzite ring for Christmas which she cherished. Her
ring was a kunzite surrounded by diamonds in yellow gold.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis has a great style to copy because it is so classic & versatile. These pieces will never go out of style. She wore all different colors of metals, both white & yellow, so you can mix & match. For gemstones,
she wore a lot of diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, & rubies, with a surprising
touch of orange, in coral or enamel. Another Jackie O. tip is to wear both earrings & a necklace. Plus, wear earrings with every outfit, pearls go with everything! Say it with me now,
pearls with everything!
